Throwing together a script, or even a big batch file shouldn't be too tough. As far as scheduling, if you're running 2k pro or xp, you could easily use the at command.
I DON'T KNOW how to use them. I can enter the commands in the address bar of IE but that is way to slow to be useful. Is there some other way to enter the commands, perhaps from the CLI ??
I could go out and buy some compilers or assemblers and create the software .. but I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars to accomplish something so simple. (I have some software experience, but the last compiler I had was microsoft C 6.0 sumthing - which is way too old to work on XP). And i kinda figgered an experienced software guy could either tell an experienced hardware guy -- or pound out sumthing simple and useful in an hour or two. And others would be grateful as well.
I have been to the molehill site and perused it extensively prior to posting this thread. It dint help which is why i posted this thread. (sounds like a broken record this thread).
And I started another thread and the poll worked on that one, but by the time I got it started, it was too late to delete this thread. I wonder if an admin type person could combine the two threads?
The easiest way to send a ciocode without using Perl or writing your own is simply to use "wget". ( http://www.wget.org ) (For the syntax for sending the CioCodes view the documentation at the Replay Twiki, links are at the end of this message.)
btw .. I noticed with both the really really remote control, and the replay command center the jump command does not work properly. The first command switches channels, then immediately switches back .. the second and subsequent command does nothing (perhaps the unit thinks the last channel is the same as the present). I suspect this is a problem with the replaytv software execution of the command.
There are a few bugs with the Replay's interpretation of CioCodes. Select/Enter in particular has a tendency to 'double click'.
