Http tuning

[SteveD]

I am using c31-700 genie clients with sagetv. I need to get http tuning working. Each client is assigned it own IP address. My question is when editing the DirecTVMultiChg.bat file, what parameters /ip addresses need to be changed to match my c31 -700 directv clients. I am trying to configure two clients to operate via http tuning. Are the USEIP IPs listed dummies and need to be changed to the ips of my clients.

What defines EQU StubDevic set USEIP = what ip goes here?

EQU DSS2 set USEIP=what ip goes here?

EQU DSS3 set USEIP=what ip goes here?



DirecTVMultiChg.bat content below.

Looks like you're using the original method. Have you tried this one? I think that's the one most people are using, myself included. It seems to be much simpler to get working.

Did you get http tuning working with the genie mini clients?

This link http://support.iruleathome.com/custo...nt-c31-control

gives a pretty good explanation of the problem - the ip address is that of your HR34 or HR44 and an additional parameter such as:

http://IPAddress:port/tv/tune?major=206&clientAddr=1

(in this case the clientAddr=1 with a different client Addr for each mini client used - actually the "1" is a placeholder for the MAC address (no colons) of the mini client) needs to be added to the command to change the channel. I doubt that the dll method will work since the dll does not take into account this additional parameter. Perhaps the batch file could be modified to pass the client Addr, but I am not a batch file expert.

thanks

Ok - I am not a batch file expert, but here is an attempt at modifying the file from this post:

Address 0 (Addr=0) is the HR34 or HR44 itself, the other two addresses are MAC addresses for two mini clients which receive their commands through the main genie unit (34 or 44).

EDIT - just tested and it seems to work. Only a bit harder to setup than the DLL version.

I have one of the new boxes (HD44/500 I think) and I can't get the command line to work for http tuning. I set it up for EXEMultiTunerPlugin and have not been able to get it to work. If I try to tune using the http command line I get:

{"status": {
"code": 403,
"commandResult": 1,
"msg": "Forbidden.Command not allowed.",
"query": "/tv/tune?major=0229"
}}

I'm not sure what a "Genie" system is. There are a couple of slave boxes in the house but they aren't on the ethernet network, so they communicate with this box through DirectTV cable or something? Are there some instructions for setting up the new "in home" boxes?
