[FIXED] Help irss + winlirc (1 Viewer)

[mrmojo666]

Hello,

i want to use my PVR_HD2 to get tv from my SKY HD set top box

i have a serial blaster that is able to control the stb using winlirc or also eventghost sending commands to winlirc.

so i think the chain eventghost --> winlirc --> serial blaster ----> is ok

After a while of studying i tried to configure irss to send commands to winlirc

but always when i send a command to winlirc the command seems to not produce anything on winlirc and also irss server crash without errors just closes. I added two log files

i don't know if it is the format of the command sent to winlirc, in my experience winlirc doesn't support authentication so the password i think is useless or at least it have to be "optional"
<IRCommand Password="" RemoteName="XMP" ButtonName="1" Repeats="0" />



also i want to point the attention on the string that eventghost is passing to winlirc is something like this "SEND_ONCE XMP 1 "

Someone can help me on this ? ( i tried both 1.5.0.62 and 1.5.0.80)

I found a solution :

the winlirc plugin have 3 bugs:

1. the field "Password" in ir command file is not a password but it has to be filled with winlirc command "SEND_ONCE"

the command file should like to :


2. In the composition of command there is a bug in the file WinLircCommand.cs
Wrong:

public WinLircCommand(string data) : this()
    {
      string[] dataElements = data.Split(' ');

      _repeats = Int32.Parse(dataElements[1], NumberStyles.HexNumber);
      _button = dataElements[2];
      _remote = dataElements[3];
    }

Correct:

public WinLircCommand(string data) : this()
    {
      string[] dataElements = data.Split(' ');
    
      _remote = dataElements[1];
      _button = dataElements[2];
     _repeats = Int32.Parse(dataElements[3], NumberStyles.HexNumber);
     
    }

3. Also in WinLircServer.cs there is a bug, it doesn't manage the answer "SUCCESS"

Wrong:

 private void ProcessData(string data)
    {
      // Ignore commands we do not need (like the startup message)
      if (data.Equals("BEGIN", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) ||
          data.Equals("END", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) ||
          data.Equals("SIGHUP", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
        return;

Correct:

 private void ProcessData(string data)
    {
      // Ignore commands we do not need (like the startup message)
      if (data.Equals("BEGIN", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) ||
          data.Equals("END", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) ||
          data.Equals("SIGHUP", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) ||
          data.Equals("SUCCESS", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
        return;

i'm going to attach built files and code files
to make irss .62 or .82 working just substitute both dlls
