step 3: How the user learn and use functions of dvb softwares? (like which function get user freq info).

step 4: How the user create a dll for using in dvb softwares?

You should first know what kind of plugin you want to create. If you need a low level you should download the sdk from the members section. The OSD Plugin System uses the COM Interface. You can easily get the required information by importing the DVBViewer COM Object. 

It does not matter if you use C++/C# for the last one. C would be complicated if you want to use COM. 

A good start for it is to have a look in the developer section of this forum.

is it possible to use VB.NET?

.


procedure Tfmain.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
var
  tpinfo: TTuner; 

begin

        Label11.Caption := inttostr(tpinfo.OrbitalPos);/////////// it is very important for me////////////////

        Label12.Caption := inttostr(tpinfo.Frequency);

        Label13.Caption := inttostr(tpinfo.SymbolRate);

end;

 

these codes doesn't work correct.why?

Use the following up-to-date TTuner declaration:
 

Spoiler



  TTuner = record
    TunerType: TTunerType;
    Group: TChannelGroup;
    Unused1: Byte;
    Flags: Byte;
    Frequency: DWord;
    SymbolRate: DWord; //or URL Hash 0..31
    LOF: Word; //LNB LOF, or TS Stream URL Hash 32..47
    PMT: Word;
    Volume: Byte;
    DiSEqCValueExt: Byte;

    Unused3: Word; //SubtitlePID: Word; //TransEdit internal

    Unused4: Byte; //Favourite: Byte; //DVBViewer GE internal
    OrbitalPos: Word;
    Tone: Byte; //22 khz off/on, or TS Stream stream type (only during runntime, not in channels.dat)
    EPGFlag: Byte;
    DiSEqCValue: Word; // OrbitPos, or other value: Positoner, GotoAngular, Command String, or TS Stream URL Hash 48..63
    DiSEqC: Byte; //None,SimpleA, SimpleB, PosA/OptA, PosB/OptA, PosA/OptB, PosB/OptB
    Language: TTunerLanguage;

thanks for new update but plugin shows zero for these variables. (OrbitalPos, frequency and SymbolRate).  

 

Please read my codes again. is it correct?

 

procedure Tfmain.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
var
  tpinfo: TTuner; 

begin

        Label11.Caption := inttostr(tpinfo.OrbitalPos);

        Label12.Caption := inttostr(tpinfo.Frequency);

        Label13.Caption := inttostr(tpinfo.SymbolRate);

end;

1- what is this ? is it necessary to use EventMsg  ?  how to use ?  Please write some codes.

EventMsg (evRemoveChannel, @Tuner) ;// with evRemoveChannel = 998: Is sent if a station is already being played and passes a pointer to its tuner data record

 

2- Like  TTuner declaration, what's declaration for channel info like name, provider, ecm, emm , ...?

According to this post by @Lars_MQ and up-to-date TTuner declaration by @Griga , Please help me to get transponder info (OrbitalPos, frequency and SymbolRate).

 

I am guessing that it's needed to  use  DVBViewer Plugin API Commands by SendMessage Functions. 

 

1- is there any API COMMAND LIKE following COMMANDs to get TTuner records?

const
  WM_DVBVIEWER         = $B2C2;
  MSG_STARTPIDCALLBACK = $45104;
  MSG_STOPPIDCALLBACK  = $45105;

 

2- I found this in "DVBViewer SDK.chm" file. How can I use this to get Transponder info?

res:=SendMessage(dvbHandle,$B2C2,$1031,0); // returns the ServiceID<<16+Transponder

ecm and emm are not processed and stored in DVBViewer. Plugins must retrieve them from the DVB streams.

 

You can get the number and name of the currently played channel in the follwoing way:

type
  TSetChannel = packed record
    Channel: Integer; //channel number
    ChannelName: PAnsiChar;
  end;  
  PSetChannel = ^TSetChannel;

var
  SC: TSetChannel

SendMessage(dvbHandle,WM_DVBVIEWER,MSG_GETCHANNEL,LPARAM(@SC));

but AFAIK there is no way to get the provider name.

 

Attached the source code of a little plugin that I wrote for correcting wrong bits in video/audio/teletext PES headers, in order to make a channel playable in DVBViewer. The function EventMsg shows how to get the tuner record.

thanks a lot.

 

Please add a Simple Form to project to show freq info in Labels.(CurrentTuner.Frequency , CurrentTuner.SymbolRate , CurrentTuner.OrbitalPos)

Label1.Caption := 'Frequency = ' + IntToStr(CurrentTuner.Frequency) ;

Label2.Caption := 'SymbolRate = ' +IntToStr(CurrentTuner.SymbolRate ) ;

Label3.Caption :='OrbitalPos= ' + IntToStr(CurrentTuner.OrbitalPos) ;

 

Also add following procedure to project to show plugin in menu.

 

procedure SetMenuHandle(Menu: HMenu); stdcall;
begin
	//Please Write a some codes for me to learn
end;

procedure MenuItemClick(MenuID: integer); stdcall;
begin
  //Please Write a  some codes for me to learn
end;

 

I'm ashamed to take your time! ?
