Enter DVD mode through COM interface ?

[gibman]

I thinking about scrapping zoomplayer and instead try and use DVBV. as my DVDplayer.

To make this a success I have to be able to enter DVD mode with my remote control.

 

I've read the COM docs but can't find anything that will let me enter DVD playback mode.

 

I have to manually enter the DVDViewer Menu and activate DVD playback-play.

Am I missing something ?

 

On a sidenote, it would also be nice if I could enter radio mode wihtout the use of a monitor. Ex. Im in another room, I pick up my remote hit the DVBV button...DVBV starts up..I wait a bit. Now I hit the Radio button on my remote - the first found radio ch. should be tuned in.

 

I've done a work around though, but it is a bit ugly.

I need to hardcode the first radio ch. info in the "firstRadioCh" Variable below --->

 

var oDVBViewerServer = GetObject("","DVBViewerServer.DVBViewer")

 

var oNow = new Date();

var sMonth = (oNow.getMonth() + 1).toString();

if (sMonth.length == 1) sMonth = "0" + sMonth;

var sDateNow = oNow.getDate() + "-" + sMonth + "-" + oNow.getFullYear();

var sTimeNow = oNow.getHours() + ":" + oNow.getMinutes();

 

firstRadioCh = "103|Radio 2"

 

 

oDVBViewerServer.TimerManager.AddItem (firstRadioCh, sDateNow, sTimeNow , sTimeNow , "Change The Channel", 0, 1, 1, 0, "-------");

alert("RadioMode");

Did you try to use the VIDEO_TS.ifo (localized on HD or DVD) as File and go into DVD-Playback this way? might work
