problem solved for sharing same code for winfast 2000XP TV

[arey]

Hi,
I have been following the problems that people using the winfast 2000xp TV are facing with(the remote sharing the same codes for some buttons). I have modified two functions in the source code which resolve the problem. They are as follows:

DWORD GetRemoteData(void) {
//The mask has been changed to reflect the tv tuner card.
DWORD data, mask=0x8f8;

data = g_dTVDriver.memoryReadDWORD(BT848_GPIO_DATA);

// FIXME This is specific of the Winfast TV2000. See lirc_gpio.c of
// the lirc project to see appropriate values of mask and displacement
// for other cards

data = (data & mask);

return data;
}

//Method has been modified to use the standard library function that //converts an integer to hexadecimal format
void SendKey(int key) {
char Buffer[100];
itoa(key, Buffer, 16);

SendString(Buffer);
}


P.S.: Ron, I have tested it and all buttons on the remote generated unique
hex codes. So feel free to make changes to the appropriate source code file(igirder.cpp). For the sake of credits my name is Seshu Parvataneni.
Send me a pm if you want to contact me, Thanks.

ehm,.. you question in the other thread is solved ?

[arey]

yes, Ron. But this is specific to the winfast 2000XP TV remote. The mask has to be changed for each different TV tuner card(as you already know). I think the function, SendKey() can remain unchanged though. TIA.

[Ron]

Could you pack it all up and send me a zip file ? I do not have this hardware nor the time to test it. I'll be more then happy to upload the fixed file.

[arey]

Here is the zipped file containing the source code for the winfast 2000xp TV plugin. The zipped file contains only the source code. Compile it by setting the active configuration(under Build menu option) for the VC++ project to "Win32- Release version".

[arey]

....by the way when compiled the name of the dll that is created is winfast.dll. It is created one directory level above the one where the winfast project files are.

[Ron]

So just to get things straight,.. this is the code for the Winfast 2000 XP. This is a different plugin from the Winfast 2000 ?

[arey]

yes this is different from the winfast plugin. But with very minor changes. The changes were made only to the two functions mentioned in this thread(see previous messages).

Sweet!!! I'm looking forward to this plugin being finalized!! Can I beta test!?

[arey]

yes you can test it. Download the source code from the attachment in one of the previous messages and compile it. Note that you have to set the active configuration of the VC++ project to "Win32 - Release" version. Then copy the winfast.dll to your girder plugins directory. If you have any problems please do let me know.

To save my butt :roll:

I am not responsible for any damages that may have caused to your computer due to this dll file. You should download this file at your own risk.

Well unfortiantly I dont have C++ 6, but instead have visual studio .net. I imported and converted the entire project and when I tried to build it as Win32 release it goes, but with a warning...

Compiling...
main.cpp
igirder.cpp
Linking...
.\src\plugin.def(4) : warning LNK4017: DESCRIPTION statement not supported for the target platform; ignored
Creating library .\Release/winfast.lib and object .\Release/winfast.exp

I doesnt fail, but I dont see any .dll in the release directory....

mind compiling it for me?

[BSOD2600]

Ok, I'm stupid....I was in the top level of the winfast folder! DUH!

Well it seems to be working with girder. For example, my Full screen button use to share the same code as the play/pause. Now fullscreen is code #18 and play/pause is #818.

COOL!

Hi,

I'm not an expert in C++ and I don't have visual studio or something like that. So can somebody be so kind to upload the compiled file?

Thanks

[BSOD2600]

Here is the file compiled under visual studio.net

[knoertploert]

Thanks, It's working for met too.

[Ron]

Arey, what is your name so I can add you to the authors list on the download page.

Here is a version of the plugin compiled with MSVC6,.. so no .net libraries needed.
