[cundogg]

would appreciate the help. i was wondering how to get DVBViewer to select 5.1 audio when available. i find myself having to manually select 5.1 audio when i am viewing a hd channel. i was also wondering how to disable context (right click mouse) menu when DVBViewer is running as everytime i press info button on my harmony remote i get context right click menu. could someone tell me how to launch an external program (xbmc) from DVBViewer osd home menu?? this is the feature i miss most from windows media center. any help would be greatly appreciated.

For the AC3 audio open the channel list editor and expand the audio streams of the channel. And the drag and drop the AC3 channel on the first position.

 

And for launching external applications download the OSD-Menu Editor 1.1 from the Members Section and open the windowdef.xml in the configuration folder while the DVBViewer is not running.

Why are you using a over 1 year old version? Edited May 1, 2012 by Griga

Someone can tell me how to put DVBViewer in stand by mode when an external program is launched with osd menu ?

[numa]

I found myself how to do

 

In windowdef.xml, at the end :

 

<Window Name="your description" Text="Title of the application" ID="-3" Parent="0">
     <Image>icon.png</Image>
      <Application>C:\Program Files (x86)\DVBViewer\start.bat</Application>
     <Systemwin>0</Systemwin>
   </Window>

 

Create start.bat (with XBMC for example) :

 

ECHO OFF
start /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\DVBViewer" DVBViewer.exe  -c -x16836
start /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC" XBMC.exe

 

Have fun !

thanks for the quick reply. Sorry i meant to say i got 4.9 DVBViewer. I did what you said and dragged the 5.1 channels to the top. It works when switching channels with channel plus or minus but when i select a channel in the tv guide it automatically selects stereo audio. Dont know whats up with it

Hey thanks for your help. I was wondering how would i edit the bat file to close DVBViewer and open xbmc instead of having both open

1. taskkill /IM DVBViewer.exe

2. Your favorites list is made with stereo channels not 5.1, add channels with audio ac3 to favorites list.

I don't know how to do in the osd menu but you can do it with a key :

 

You have to go to DVBViewer/scripts/ and you create a file named command.vbs

 

Past this code inside :

 

sub main(Command)
       Select Case Command 
               Case 20480
                       OSD.ExecNewProcess "C:\Program Files (x86)\DVBViewer\start.bat", "", False, False
		Quit                          
               Case Else
                       osd.showInfoinTVpic "No action in th Command.vbs for this Action ID.",1000
       End Select
end sub

 

Now open DVBViewer and go to settings/input and create a new group (External programs for example). Clic on "ADD" and give a name for the command (for example : launch XBMC) and in the next window put 20480 in the second square.

Assign a command for this action like a keyboard key or an ir command ( with your remote).

 

That's all

Hey it's very simple in fact

 

 

start.bat

 

ECHO OFF
start /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC" XBMC.exe
taskkill /IM DVBViewer.exe

 

Thank you for the code

[numa]

To return to DVBViewer after closing XBMC, you can create another file (return.bat for example) :

 

return.bat :

ECHO OFF
start /d "C:\Program Files (x86)\DVBViewer\DVBViewer.exe
taskkill /IM XBMC.exe

 

Download advance launcher plugin for XBMC (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=85724) and create a new entry with return.bat.

cheers for the help people. It is much appreciated. I got the xbmc launcher button and 5.1 audio sorted out however i ran into another problem. My tv guide is displaying double program information for every channel. I only have the freesat epg data enabled in options. Can anyone help?

The same sh.. on some channels I have too.

[cundogg]

ah well. double tv information ain't the worst thing in the world. i think i can live with it. Has anyone had any trouble recording stuff? As in it only records audio and no video on certain channels. It seems to be most of the freeview irish channels this happens to but haven't tested it on everyone. The freesat channels seems to record fine though

[numa]

Someone can tell me what is the command line to reactive dvbwiever (watch the last channel for example) when it is in stand by mode ?

 

Thank's
