1.3 Can't et dvbepg shortcut to work

[red]

don't think this is really a 1.3 issue, but didn't know where else to post it.

When I attempt to get the dvbepg guide to come up with the shortcut key that is selected in the setting of the dvbepg program the guide will not come up unless i select it from the modules list directly.

in v1.3a (released today),

now if user has an EPG module inside \modules folder,
pressing the EPG key on remote will start the module instead of internal EPG.

Starting DVBEPG should work fine this way. I will talk to Momotte about the remote control functionality inside DVBEPG. I could not get DVBEPG window to close with Twinhan remote.

Shortcuts still doesn't work. Perhaps option to choose what EPG will be used (as in older versions) would help, then also keyboard shortcut would open selected EPG - internal/external.

Thanks for all the work

I tried the remote function and it works fine. I did notice however, that moving inside the guide once open does not work as the focus seems to stay with the video window and thus movement in the window is not working.

I can also confirm the shortcut is not working

I have the Twinhan remote (HID) and DVB Dream 1.3a supports it but i would like to have more control like switching render on/off . I did some experiments with AutoHotkey (also freeware) and I managed to map everything like i wanted except for DVBEPG. When i press EPG on the remote DVBEPG used to show up when using the remote feature setting of DD. Obviously, DVBEPG shortcut is not the default key of my Twinhan remote.

My question is : What is the actual shortcut that DD uses to trigger DVBEPG ? As mention in another post, the shortcut setting inside DVBEPG seems to be ignored by DD ! The best would be to have the shortcut for all modules to be displayed in the module menu.

thanks and keep up the good work ...

PS
trying to switch from myTHEATRE to DVB Dream

As I said, Remote button (WinLIRC...) has been fixed/changed, but...

Shortcuts still doesn't work. Perhaps option to choose what EPG will be used (as in older versions) would help, then also keyboard shortcut would open selected EPG - internal/external.

The best would be to have the shortcut for all modules to be displayed in the module menu.

To do so, the shortcut has to be implemented in the OnGetModuleInfo exported function of the module by its creator :

Code: Select all

function OnGetModuleInfo(ModuleInfo: PModuleInfo): BOOL; stdcall; export;
begin
{ Version de l'API utilisée }
ModuleInfo^.dwModuleAPI := MODULE_API_1_7;
{ Le nom qui sera affiché dans le menu "Modules"
ainsi que dans l’inspecteur de module.}
ModuleInfo^.szModuleName := 'Module Test';
{ Nom de l’auteur, il sera affiché dans l’inspecteur de module. }
ModuleInfo^.szModuleAuthor := 'DD SDK';
{ Email de l'auteur }
ModuleInfo^.szModuleEmail := 'dd@dd.dd';
{ Numéro de version du module }
ModuleInfo^.dwModuleVer := $01000001; { v1.0.0.1 }
{ Touche de raccourci permettant d’afficher le module }
ModuleInfo^.wShorCut := Ord('T'); //ex : VK_F9, [];
{Type du Module :
MODTYPE_NONE; // Module générique
MODTYPE_SCHEDULER;
MODTYPE_EPG;
MODTYPE_TELETEXT;
MODTYPE_SUBTITLE;
MODTYPE_REMOTE;
MODTYPE_POSITIONER;
MODTYPE_SOFTCAM;
MODTYPE_PREVIEW;
MODTYPE_SNAPSHOT;
MODTYPE_IMPORT;
MODTYPE_EXPORT;
MODTYPE_OSD;
MODTYPE_CHLIST_TOOL;
MODTYPE_RECORD; }
ModuleInfo^.dwModuleType := MODTYPE_NONE;
{Version minimale DVB Dream requise}
ModuleInfo^.dwRequiredDDver := $01020000; { DD >= v1.2 }
result := false;
end;

In this sample the shortcut is the T key of the keyboard.

(Sorry all comments are in French langage )

update: a closer look at the handle tells me that all would be solve if the module author supplies it ... :-;

Huh ok but ... am I missing something ? What good is it to implement this handle if DD ignores DVBEPG shortcut setting ?

In the meantime ... what is the hidden shortcut that DD use to trigger that module ... plz ?

PS
until the remote feature get less rigide, i wish to handle shortcuts myself (with AutoHotkey)

[FredB]

There's two way to implement shortcut for DD modules, we've already seen the first one, the second one is using the DDEVENT_ON_KEYBOARD (or DDEVENT_ON_REMOTE for remote control) method, but if the module code don't implement at least one of this two methods, DD won't be able to handle them!

So DD can not guess what the shortcut for DVBEPG is, if this module don't "tell" DD which shortcut to use!

DVBEPG is not a DD native module, so some functions can not work with this software.

[cyran0]

ok but then ... the Twinhan remote feature of DD calls directly DVBEPG without a shortcut, right ? So there would be no way to even guess an inexistent shortcut !

If i'm not mistaken DVBEPG is obsolete ... AntEPG support would be nice then (i posted a request on dvbn) ...

[Dreamer]

If you really want a DVBEPG shortcut, you can try HotkeyP as workaround, this command and parameters are needed:

Command:
Command to active window

Parameters:
433 dvbdream.exe&(Tfmain|ftvwindow|fvideo|TfPIP)

This feature works limited (in DD), only few options work, but it's quite enough, since other options have existing shortcuts, so these can be used - more here.

Twinhan remote is a mapping of keyboard, in the setting window for Twinhan remote we can see that the code for EPG key is 69... 69 is the code for the 'e' keyboard key. But this only works if Twinhan remote is activated in DD!!!

So this shortcut is implemented in DD's Twinhan remote management and not in DVBEPG module.
