hello,

i'd like to develop a little module to extract channel list + index from a dat file.
However, the ProgDVBChannelsListFormat.h link on this site is unavailable

could u tell where to find it ?

thanks

Olixelle

i have made the ProgEdit channel editor.
maybe i can help you - or i can impement what you want.
please let me know, if you want to make your own thing or if i should integrate it.
i think, for me it is very easy and less work to do this for you

hello everybody

i hesitated to open a new post since i have a similar question
if fact i own a humax 5400 and a skystar 2 card using PROGDVB, my plan is to issue a converter which take the setting of my humax 540 into progDVB.
I already have the DLL that allow me to deal with setting format of humax and i am looking for similar or at least for some description of the channel list format PROGDVB expect to receive in order to write the correct software
do you think you can help ?
best regards and wishes for new year

of course - i think i can help you.
poss. solution:
1.) you send me a file for humax settings. and also the file definition.
for humax files - it can happen, that the file i have to import in one time shot a channel.dat + channeltree, because in progdvb - one file is for all infos about the channels - and one extra file is for favorites (order of channels). but i'm ready for all stuff

2.) maybe you can prog in vbasic 2003 - and we can work together on the source.

i'm ready for all duty stuff

hello camel
tks for fast answer and proposal,
in fact i program in windev 11 (which is a L5G specific language)
the idea was just to have either the description of the file or a dll with entry point documented.
for humax , i use FV3DLL.dll which provide all stuff necessary to convert
the multi section text file (antenna,network,transponder,services, provider,favorites) into specific hnf compressed format and then into binary hdf to download in the humax, so if you can provide me with description of both data and tree file , i will save a lot of time
tks and best rgds

what are the main function which you would need in ProgEdit ?

1.) import of the HDF files - which give then the channel.dat + channeltree
2.) export to HDF files - as source will then be used channel.dat + channeltree

is this correct ?

or do you only need import ?

so - well please send me die def for the hdf file + an example file + textz list of senders which are inside

thanks cu camel

hello camel

you misunderstood the point , the only thing i need is the description
of the progdvb channel file format, thats all

ok - then open your eyes - and see above

cu camel

hello

i may be blind, i didnt see your first answer when i started my post

tks and happy new year

Hello Camel,

first of all, best wishes for this new year



Regarding my applicaiton, i would need a little windows exe that perform the following things:
- take one command line parameter that specifies dat file location and another one that specifies where to create the new file
- create a text file that contains channel list (i mean name + position)

CNN 1
TF1 2
RAI Uno 3
etc...

I'm dont know c programming but if u could give me a start, i think i could perform this application

thanks in advance for ur help

is it a must be, that it works on command line ?

because to implement a ascii text file like your wish is amount 5min work for me - if it also enough that progedit will do this.

so - let me know exactly what should be inside the list.

ex: from internal list (channel list)
1.) Name of channel
2.) TAB stopp -> think about what to take - because PREMIERE 1 1 could it be ? - and is it then clear for you ?
3.) channel number (which is inside in the channel list)

ex: from internal tree list (channel tree list)
1.) Name of channel
2.) TAB stopp
3.) number like it is ordered

for command line - it would be much more work - so think about how often you need this

Hi Camel,

in fact my software is in .net 1.1
Command line argument is the easiest way for me to launch your exe from my program
However, we could set path information in a ini file for example
If not, i'll copy ur exe in the correct directory

Regarding channel list, tabulation is ok as text separator

Another question: i dont know differences between tree list & channel list

.) the differnet is, that the channel list include all channels from Progdvb
the "channel list tree" include "like a link" the channels which are your favorties.
try may programm and switch to mode: "channel list tree" or "channel list manager" -> then try to load my settings + channellist.tree -> and you'll see what i mean

.) as i told - at this moement -> to much work for command line modus

cu camel

Camel,

ok i understand difference between channel & tree list.
I need channel list as my soft already include a channel selector.

Could u provide me such a soft:
- windows exe
- has to be in dat file directory
- create a text file with channel name / tabulation / channel index in the same directory

?
