DigiTV 3.7 uses the HD version of DigiTV.

The executable is DigiTV-HD.exe

I have allowed for this name change in build 2.57 of DABDig.

However, at the time of writing this forum post ... I haven't released 2.57

In the meantime - you could rename DigiTV-HD.exe as DigiTV.exe (and change it in your start-up group as well) ... or drop me a note and I'll send you 2.57 if it is still not released.

Please could you post me latest dabdig 2.57 to try with nebular 3.7.

Thanks

I did send it on Friday. Did it arrive OK?

DABDig creator

Paul could you send me the latest version also. Cheers Rob

Yep - I sent it.

For others - I have some non-Nebula pieces to finish off before I make a new general release. HOwever, given that people seem to be moving to 3.7 then I'll try to make a release next week-end.

Paul,

Thanks for the files.

The record timers work fine.

The listen function does not.

Any ideas?

Rob

Assuming things are at their default values in dabdig.ini - then - try setting:

TraceFlags=4

in dabdig.ini

and see what command is being issued.

It should be something like

c:\program files\nebula\digitv\digitv-hd.exe CHAN 2

(put traceflags back to 0 afterwards)

To be honest - I haven't tried it with 3.7 - so it is quite possible that Nebula have changed the mechanism that I was using.

Hi Paul,

Command line as follows;

"08/11/2006 22:36:10 - 2.57b11 - Wrong parameters: Usage-"<StreamType>" "<ChannelName>" "<ChannelAssignment>" "<ProgrammeName>" "<StartYear>" "<StartMonth>" "<StartDay>" "<StartHour>" "<StartMinute>" "<MinutesDuration>" ["<Description>" ["<Category>" ["<EpisodeName>"]]]

... do not forget the quotation marks - because of spaces in ChannelName and ProgrammeName etc

... Oh Yes - do not put the <> or [] signs in! The [] signs indicate optional parameter.

08/11/2006 22:36:13 - 2.57b11 - From DigiGuide reminder ...

dabdig.vbe "mp2" "$ChannelName" "$ChannelID" "$ProgrammeName" $Timestart("%Y" "%m" "%d" "%H" "%M") "$Duration"

Can sometimes replace "mp2" with "mp3" to record smaller, lower quality files - check your recording program.

08/11/2006 22:36:15 - 2.57b11 - Also can sometimes replace "mp2" with "play" to listen rather than record

When recording from Satellite - ChannelName should be <TransponderId/ChannelId>

08/11/2006 22:37:49 - 2.57b11 - Trace:1 - "PLAY" "BBC 3" "7" "Celebrity Scissorhands" "2006" "11" "08" "22" "30" "60" "In aid of Children in Need, nine novice celebrities attempt to become fully-fledged hairdressers and beauty therapists in less than a month. In a purpose built state-of-the-art academy in BBC TV centre, top British hairdresser Lee Stafford and his team of expert stylists will train the celebrities and when the academy opens to the public, the scissor-happy stars will be let loose."

Ah - looks like a mistake by me.

I seem to have put in the name of the registry key holding the path - rather than the contents of the key !

I don't see how that has happened though.

While I try to work out how 2 different variables inside DABDig seem to have got confused ... can you check to see if the fundamental mechanism works by using a command window (start/run/cmd) to do the following:

cd \program files\nebula\digitv

DigiTV-HD.exe FULLSCREEN CHAN 7

(the above are on different lines)

Paul,

The command does not execute. It returns the following;

The system cannot find the path specified.

Digitv-HD is in the following directory on my system;

"C:\Program Files\Nebula\DigiTV\DigiTV-HD.exe"

Rob

OK Paul,

A small update. I clearly had a syntax issue with the command line.

Good news - I can launch digitv with;

DigiTV-HD.exe

also I can set the channel pretty reliably with

DigiTV-HD.exe CHAN 1

DigiTV-HD.exe CHAN 7 etc.

using the FULLSCREEN command is not so sucessful. Nebula launches fullscreen and tunes to the assigned channel however the dispay is a blank screen.

Rob

You can make the FULLSCREEN parameter disappear from the DABDig issued command line by setting:

NebulaDigiTVPlayWinStyle=1

in dabdig.ini

However, I am still confused about the registry key appearing in the command line.

Looks like I'll have to make you a special version with extra tracing in it to try to work out what has happened.
