Re: Curday.dat Data Format

Look at timeslot 32 of WGN. At the end of "How I Met Your Mother" you have hex 0x0D separating it from TS33 rather than the normal "null" character (0x00). This fixed your whole listing on my end.

Re: Qtable.ini

I am sure that in our case it is at least possible to display it like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjuEll8A0Cs However, without a video feed it would be impossible for the program to know what to display, where to display it (left or right), and when to display it. Makes sense that the Promo...

Qtable.ini

Not sure if this was mentioned in a previous thread or not, but I got to looking at the Qtable.ini and it looks like it is what determined the name of the channel for the program preview playing on the top half of the screen. It takes the call sign of the channel in the curday.dat and uses qtable.in...

Re: Curday.dat Data Format

The startup sequence is located on this page: http://ariweinstein.com/prevue/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=67&start=30 You can find it on your prevue ADF in the "S" directory. Pretty much, anything in the Startup-sequence file, replace with the sequence that Tin used on this page, assuming y...

Re: Curday.dat Data Format

Look at timeslot 31... it shows 31.1.0.0. It should show 31.1. 1. 0.0. Maybe I was looking at the wrong line when I said 29... looks like it was actually 31. Sorry about that!! You should be ok after this... I don't recall seeing anymore errors when I got it to work here. As far as powerpacking goes...

Re: Curday.dat Data Format

Thanks, it is mostly working now: http://ompldr.org/tYmFxMQ Video: http://ompldr.org/vYmFxMA/out-1.ogv (Ogg Theora, 9.37 MB) curday.dat: http://ompldr.org/vYmFxNQ/curday.tar.gz I could not find the error near timeslot 29, but I know there was an error there because I viewed the CLU/PI with the h an...

Re: Curday.dat Data Format

Channel ID errors: Too many "null" characters following the displayed channel name. The name can be up to six characters, and spaces not taken are taken by 00 (null) characters. Afterwards there are just two more null characters, then a channel tag (such as summary, hilite, etc) and the ma...

Upload your modified curday.dat. I am going to give it a couple tests later and post my findings.

Re: Curday.dat Data Format

@20CenturyFan: I wrote this curday.dat file manually with a hex editor.[/quote] I think I located the source of your problem... you are VERY close, save one character in each of the Channel ID strings... after the six "null" characters following the six FF characters for the channel maskin...

Re: Curday.dat Data Format

I continued the curday.dat file, and I got this: http://ompldr.org/tYjhheg Here is a tarball of the curday.dat file I made that produced this fail: http://ompldr.org/vYjhiNA/curday.tar.gz Was this just a random curday.dat thrown together from scratch or are you experimenting with the DREV settings?...
