[App] libLogChannel B/D/E/F/H

[zoelechat]

This lib extracts and logs some infos about current TV state (source, channel, program, volume, resolution).
Can be useful if you'd like to retrieve/parse such "real-time" infos remotely.

• Get latest samyGOso from there and copy/overwrite samyGOso file (not folder) to /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/bin
• Set permissions if needed (usually not if overwritten)

  Code: Select all

  chmod +x /mnt/opt/privateer/usr/bin/samyGOso

One question... what is the number 57 in brackets in the Source line ?

[zoelechat]

Thanks report

One question... what is the number 57 in brackets in the Source line ?

Source "ID" reported by TV, I first wanted to use it to detect source in use, but it seems to be different depending on TV (HDMI1 is 67 on mine, 59 on sectroyer's...). So I've ended in detecting only HDMIx using another trick for now, other external sources being "undefined (*random number*)" . TV will always be "TV (0)" though
The same way but with accurate values this time, TV mode is: air=0, cable=1 and sat=3

[oldman]

Understood!

Do you planning to prepare a version of libLogChannel with output to the console instead of a file? It might be more convenient and faster for parsing e.g. for rc.

[zoelechat]

Just asked to "the master" , it's obviously not easily possible to output anything to stdout when injecting a lib, so nothing better at once than:

Code: Select all

samyGOso -A -B -l /mtd_rwcommon/libLogChannel.so ; sleep 0.5 ; cat /dtv/LogChannel.log

[oldman]

There is too much unnecessary chars, but it looks much better. Thanks

Code: Select all

root@tv:/mnt $ samyGOso -A -B -l /mtd_rwcommon/libLogChannel.so ; sleep 0.5 ; ca
t /dtv/LogChannel.log
samyGOso v1.2.4 (c) bugficks 2013, sectroyer 2014
Injecting '/mtd_rwcommon/libLogChannel.so' resident: '0'
Succeeded.

I've especially inserted

for you to parse more easily

[oldman]

Code: Select all

Better!

Yes, '>>> <<<' separator is a good idea. What about compatibility for C series?

[zoelechat]

For now I'm nearly beginner and I've absolutely no idea on how to develop for C nor Dmips (Dmips must not be too different, but AFAIK C is), and I'm not sure it will interest me one day, too outdated.
So, in state and since you already do a firmware/TV series check, I guess it means no real-time infos on C/Dmips

[oldman]

Clear. Suporting mentioned series is not so important to me, but I'm already thinking about how to implement libLogChannel.so to WinSamyGOrc. Forget it. You've already done a great job.
