Nice work, thanks for sharing.

Any plans to create a button for player tracker and game mix?

From the "view" window you can CTRL/Click/Drag to your desktop.
This is the "browse" window.

Once you click on the eyeball icon to view the gallery, you'll see this window.

Are you positive about this?
All I get is a circle with a line through it. Nothing drags from the image box after clicking the eyeball and holding the Control key.

Ok I need your help, I have got most of this programing down for irule. But not all. I CAN NOT figure out feedback for my DirecTV. Here is what Ive done so far.

Googled my question, read iRule support and other answers, but Im still not smart enough to get it.

Clicked on Feedback = Actions = Browse Feedbacks.

Checked marked one from iRule and clicked import

Under the feedback tab I clicked on my new feedback Directv http

Under properties in the bottom left of ibuilder I assigned it to my DTV Master Room. I have not done anything else in this tab. Am is suppose to more in this tab??????????

Went back to actions and drag and dropped channel number onto my ibuilder screen. (when i change the channel it should tell me on my ipad what channel it is??????????????????)

I have read about a Query tab or something like that. (cant find it!!!!!!) I also read about adding a code to it (cant find where to do that!!!!!!!)

Sorry for the dumb question, but how do I get this to work????????????? or any other feedback.

Thank you in advance.

In the builder, browse image library, user tab, search for meowcat, click the eyball, once the icons are displayed you can ctrl+left click and drag the icon to the desktop. Just tested it and no issues here using Chrome. What browser are you using?

I wasn't aware that you could have more than 1 entrance.
I'm thinking that a single device could be done. I am not sure how edit the syntax or if it is even possible, but irule displays the text after a certain indicator. If you could tell it to display what comes after a given channel # and edit out the rest of the gunk and just display the "title" returned after it sees channel 704 then you'd just need a title feedback for each channel number. That would be the simplest method and I'd be happy to guinea pig it and set it all up if I could be sure how to edit the feedback commands to do that.

So I spent a little more time on the NFL page tonight:



I currently have 8 devices coded for 8 different channels, 9 entrances including the query for current channel and all is working well. I am re-thinking the 10 sec repeat, it seems overly aggressive, but it works fine so far. As I code more devices/channels (I need 19 for this page) we'll see if I run into any issues with all the queries. Wouldn't it be nice if the page could somehow know the time and decide only to query on the 1/2 hour when possible program changes occur? Dreaming on...

Thanks, Jim, but the proper search would be meowcat's. smile.gif I've been ctrl+left click+dragging for a while now. Works great for me. You bring up a good point about Rschissler's browser, however, it's been working in Chrome and IE, for me.

I figured it out...you have to open up builder in the Google Chrome browser. Then it works as described. Actually, the entire builder works better with Chrome; it's much easier to work with.

This is great. Multiple entrances might be the key rather than 1 entrance with multiple commands. Were you able to change channels, bring up the guide, etc. while this was running? That is where I have trouble, sometimes even with my normal DTV page that has the standard feedback on it.

The variables between my failure and your success that I can tell are: irule controller (I am using an android 4.1 rommed Kindle Fire, I assume you are using an Ipad). The entrance set up as discussed earlier. Lastly, DTV box type.

I am going to give this a 2nd try.

Thanks for your efforts. We're getting there. I want to give my other method a try.

Can someone exclain how the parsing of feedback works? I see the TITLE feedback for DTV has this prefix: *"title": "

I assume that this tells the app to ignore eveything in a feedback up to this point and then display what comes after. this works perfectly with the GET TUNED command to display the title of what is being watched currently. Could the prefix be expanded to include a channel number in f the prefix.

Sending this command: tv/getProgInfo?major=712

returns this:

{
"callsign": "NFLHD",
"duration": 16200,
"isOffAir": false,
"isPclocked": 3,
"isPpv": true,
"isPurchased": false,
"isRecording": false,
"isVod": false,
"major": 712,
"minor": 65535,
"programId": "4294967295",
"rating": "No Rating",
"startTime": 1348756736,
"stationId": 4823557,
"status": {
"code": 200,
"commandResult": 0,
"msg": "OK.",
"query": "/tv/getProgInfo?major=712"
},
"title": "Upcoming: Bengals @ Jaguars"


Could the prefix be *712"
},
"title": "

This way multiple a simple feedback could be created for each channel similarly to how there is a direct command available to tune each channel.

I think you skipped the step of creating an entrance. Enable entrances on the panel where you want feedback. In the entrance for that panel drop the command GET TUNED from your DTV device. Set it to repeat every 10 seconds. Sync and you should be good.

In the beginning (a few years ago?) I was having script issues with iRule and IE, so I moved to Chrome and never looked back.
Good luck.

Good luck.

On IE8, every time I hit save, a pop up window comes up that asks me if I want to stay on page or leave page. It's so annoying. Chrome is working out much better.

Yes, I am able to change channels, pull up the guide, etc while this is running...although I did notice some initial lag from button presses last night...I'll research that more in the days ahead.

I am using an iPad1 for my system. Currently controlling an HR-34 box.

Regarding the other method...Good luck. I worked on that angle for months with no luck. Granted, this kind of stuff is not what I do for a living, but my research indicated that there aren't any functions available (that I could find or that I tried to create) to get a unique feedback for a channel that won't wipe out the feedback previously retrieved via the query.

Maybe you can figure it out...Here's a link to the DirecTV SHEF API Command Spec that controls DTV functionality over IP (SHEF= Set-top box HTTP Exported Functionality): http://www.satinstalltraining.com/homeautomation/DTV-MD-0359-DIRECTV_SHEF_Command_Set-V1.3.C.pdf

Most recently I was focusing on the functionality of this IP control solution: waltzremote.com

If you go to the site amd enter your DTV IP Address, you gain instant control over a browser. He has hard coded tables of channels and you can do some category customization. You can click on a channel and it will change it. You can see current and upcoming programs for every channel. BUT, he stops at channel 698...I asked him to code up the NFL channels, no reply yet.

I looked into how he gets his data...its the same codes as iRule uses (ie the SHEF API) but he does it in way that is different than iRule. Again, I reached out to him to discuss his methodology but got no reply.

I thought about setting up this control in iRule using the URL functionality, but I prefer having my user look and feel.

At the end of the day, I think what you (and I) have now is a work-around that gets it done, but may, in the end, crush itself with all of the devices, entrances and queries...we shall see.

Hey there,

Is anybody interested in setting up a fairly simple system for some compensation? I do not have the time and patience to go through the steps. I am currently using Roomie with IP and itach and it all works great but it is just ugly as hell. PM me if anybody is interested. Thx.

I don't do this kind of thing either, but get a kick out of trying to get it figured out, especially something like this.

I attempted to create some new feedbacks yesterday but nothing worked.

I have looked at that SHEF API a whole bunch in the last few weeks. I am thinking what we want to do is possible, a single device, a single feed command set with the get prog info commands and channel specific feedback. I just think it will take a change within the app/builder.

The builder supports iPhone 5, but the actual app on the iPhone does not. They are working on it...apparently they submitted the updated app to Apple a few days ago but it got rejected because their screenshots were the wrong resolution (sigh)...they fixed it and resubmitted, so hopefully it's approved soon(tm) and we'll finally be able to use the full screen of the iPhone 5.

Does anyone have a weather site that gives simple conditions and radar without scrolling around the page? I quickly tried weather underground and it's a little slow and requires to much scrolling to find the info I want quickly. Maybe weather.com or a NOAA site would if its a mobile address.

Sounds like we are like minded with stuff like this...I spent way too much time with that SHEF doc trying to figure this out. You might be right, maybe iRule can change the way the DirecTV feedback is structured so you can "attach" a feedback to a query and not wipe it out with the next query.

Where's Itai or ECrabb when you need them???

I haven't found anything that I like as far as a URL to embed. I use the ability to launch external apps in android to use instant radar and instant weather. Both are exactly what they say they are, the first is a 10 frames animated weather radar based on your location and the 2nd is a 10 day NWS forecast.

I have 2 weather icons in my android 7" tablet build one labled radar the other forecast and it launches those (free) apps.

a google search turned up this too: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/cte.htm

looks like you can set up a mobile version that might work for you.

I'd be interested in something like that, also. The weather located on the notifications panel in i devices would be perfect. Something in a .png so that it would look good on a custom background.


I would really love to know how they do this!!

^Yeah I love that look. It doesn't need to take an entire page, just update at the top of the page. We need some sort of device that we can update the current conditions like we query other feedbacks. Sounds like something for the idea hub at the iRule site.

So, I'm having an iLearn issue. I have a GC-IRE connected to my GC-100. I am able to capture codes for my Prismasonic Anamorphic lens remote, but the codes do not seem to work. I have tried capturing Hex, Global Cache, and GC compressed codes. No matter how I save the data, the code does not work. When I copy the code into iTest, I get the error code "unknown command 14" (command not supported by GC-100). I'm at a loss how to capture these codes otherwise. I had previously recieved the same Prismasonic unit that had a defective lens and had to send it back for this new unit. I was able to capture the codes on the old unit and they worked perfectly. Can't figure this out, very frustrating!

Leviton Serial Controller Help:

Hi guys. i justgot my new serial controller version 3 and I'm trying to get it up and going again.

My network was setup by the Leviton USB stick this time. It appears to be functioning properly but I can't get commands to turn on lights working. I know my serial itach is up and running cause i can ping it on the network. I also get the green go in irule. when i send a command i see the green 2 way arrows but nothing. i know the codes are written right cause they worked in the past. the nodes r diff numbers now but i replaced that so they match. the seial controller is flashing green so i think i'm good there too. any help would be great!

BTW as an FYI to anyone, the reason why my remote codes weren't working was because the DVR we used had IR commands shut off in the settings>remote menu. D'oh. Now RF and IR are both activated and it works just fine.
