Missing Manufacturer and the device templates that went with it

Can anyone who has done a recent install find either device? I ask because I had 2 devices by the same manufacturer but, its gone now. Device templates with it.

There was
DirecTv

now there is only Direct Tv

Did anyone else experience this?

[Marie.O]

Do you recall, when you submitted those templates?

[tschak909]

They were submitted on 2011-03-19, corresponding with DCE batches -216, -217, -218, -219, -220...

I was wondering this as well.   I still have the original template data stored on my hard drive.   I also created Ruby coding for the HR24 IP (Template 2159) since I had to replace my original  Sat box.   I can submit it but im still tweaking it.

Would you mind using the attached script in http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php/topic,6274.msg66859.html#msg66859 to export the device template as it stands now? No idea, if the DT Exporter is still working, but it is a test. (Especially due to a comment asking, why anyone would need an exporter...)

[ardirtbiker]

I downloaded the php script... will work with it this evening.

It creates a new php script. Attach the created script to a message, and maybe golgoj4 can use it to recreate the script on his machine.

[ardirtbiker]

this is the script generated by the DeviceTempate2php.php for the DirecTV STB using RS232.

I tried doing the same thing for the HR24 IP template that I modified, but it doesnt appear to be exporting properly.   I'll probably just post the code in another response in this thread.

Dennis

[ardirtbiker]

Here is the codes I added to the HR24 IP template (#2159).    Couldnt get the script to export this.

I have tried these codes, but this is what I get when i try to get it to work:

Here is the key line:

05   03/09/13 9:33:03.716      Running without DeviceData, will try to add device <0xb5943b70>
01   03/09/13 9:33:03.755      GSD Port is not specified. Instantiating non-IO Wrapper. <0xb5943b70>

Neither a TCP Port device data, or a Com Port on PC device data is specified, so GSD is not opening an I/O channel.

It creates a new php script. Attach the created script to a message, and maybe golgoj4 can use it to recreate the script on his machine.

Merk had altered the script to output serialized data rather than a .php script.  It can be imported with the same interface.  I had been altering it at one point as well but do not recall the state it was left in.  I had been quite successfully moving DTs around through many installs.  I know enough php now that I can make it much more user friendly if there is a demand for it.

I got it to work, but something that I have noticed is that once mce takes control of the box and then if you try to control it with another app or through the browser, then it will cause the box to quit responding for some time to ethernet commands.  I tried it on an hr23 and 25 and got the same results.  My wife went to use the directv remote app on her android phone and it made both her app and mce unable to control it for several minutes.  I also tried it with a web browser and got the same thing.  It just times out.  Is there a connection limit on these boxes?

[tschak909]

Virtually every single embedded TCP/IP server I've seen on set-top boxes, etc.. has a connection limit usually of ONE connection to the box at one time. GSD keeps the connection alive for the entire lifetime of a device.

is there a way to change the delay on a gsd device?  when i tell it to change channels, it goes to fast and it will skip numbers sometimes.  i tried to adjust the times for ir thinking that maybe they also affected ip also.
