thanks for the reply rel.

Can I use the channel Id to permanently identify a channel, scan after scan, even if the channel is updated or other channels are added/deleted?

I'd like to know where the TChannelInfo.dwChId comes from. Is it a sequential number generated by DVBDream or is it received from the sat to uniquely identify channels?

It's ok, I will use codepage.

Hi rel, in the TChlChannel, the strings are of type char: char ChName[MAX_STR_SIZE]; char Provider[MAX_STR_SIZE]; char ActualChName[MAX_STR_SIZE]; However, inside DD, the strings are unicode. This is clearly visible in the channel list since it displays unicode characters. The hex bytes in the TChlC...

Thanks for the reply rel.

I'll look for alternative way to do it. I'm thinking if using the Win32 API to select the right menu options and launch the scan.

genpix, I don't think you understood my question... or I don't understand how the SDK/module works. I want to trigger a scan in the application, using a message just like any other SDK functions. It would be just like going in the dvbdream's menu and select satellite scan, but instead of being start...

Does anyone know Rel? He might be stuck in an ice cube or something. Why is there no answers from him? Rel if you just don't see the point for such a feature tell me. If you don't understand my question, please tell me. This is a module API help / support section for programmers. There is not much s...

Anyone could help? Rel, please give me some answers...

Ok, thanks for the explanations. What I want to do is to trigger a scheduled scan from a module. I never turn off my dvbdream and I don't permanently watch it either, so I could launch scan on a scheduled basis. I get back to my original question: Is their a way for a scan, without any user actions,...

Thank you for the reply. What I want to do is to stay up to date with the content of the satellite transponders. The problem is that the provider can add, delete or move channels on the satellite. What can happen in the case of a channel move is that the channel will stop working in dvbdream and a s...

Rel, is there anyway to add the API that would allow sat scan from modules?

No one knows are is it that it just can't be done with the current API?

What I'm trying to do is to keep DD up to date with the provider settings. Ideally, I'd need a silent operation that update DD (including channel deletes) without any user interventions.

Hi,

I'd like to launch satellite scan from a module. Is there a way to do that using the DvbDream API?

Hi rel, I tought you and the DVBDream community might be interested of knowing that I made a module for DVBDream/DVBSBridge that allow Media Center to stream seemlessly from DVBDream. To me, Media Center is one of the best PVR on the market. I've been using DVBDream as my Media Center source for a f...
