DVBViewer plugin

Post by barnie »

This plugin can be used to obtain DVBViewer status. Everything is achieved using just one function:

$dll(DVBViewer,9,<queries>,<match_string>)
where <queries> is a semi-colon separated list of DVBViewer query strings. The plugin will try each query string in turn and display the first one that is non-null and not matching <match_string>. The query strings are just strings where identifiers starting with # map to DVBViewer properties. Use dvbvspy and the GetTags button to see the available properties.

Examples:

$dll(DVBViewer,9,#selecteditem,)
Current OSD selection.

$dll(DVBViewer,9,#currentwindow,)
Current OSD window.

if $dll(DVBViewer,9,#selecteditem,) > "" Then GotoScreen(19)
Go to screen 19 if OSD is active.

$dll(DVBViewer,9,#TV.Now.title;#Media.title,)
Title of the current TV event (if watching TV) or media file.

$dll(DVBViewer,9,#TV.Now.percentage;#percentage,-1)% of $dll(DVBViewer,9,#TV.Timeshift.duration;#TV.Now.duration,)
Percentage and total time for both live TV and recordings.

$dll(DVBViewer,9,[Rec] #Recording.Status;,[Rec] inactive)$dll(DVBViewer,9,#channelname,)
Channel name, preceded by "[Rec] " if a recording is in progress.

I'm having problems with this plugin showing non-ascii letters in strings. The plugin somehow breaks the ? and ? letters for example in the tv program titles. The crap characters induced by the plugin are not the same ones that i get if i directly type in ? and ? to the lcdsmartie screen, so the plugin does do something to the charaters before feeding them to lcdsmartie.

The letters show up correctly if I check the variables with dvbspy.

Could this be fixed?

I'm also having problems with characters ?, ? and ?. Is it possible to convert these like ?->a, ?->o and ?->a?

Although, sweet plugin. ;)
