Box. Choose your type of Set Top Box from the
zeecode database, or create your own component
by learning your Set Top Box's remote, and give
your component a unique name. You may want to
enter "Dish", "Comcast", "Time Warner" or something
similar here.
Later on, you will use this same name to identify
your Set Top Box in EyeTV.
Leave the ZephIR application running after you've
configured your component and have verified that
ZephIR can change channels. Also, to ensure that
unattended recordings in EyeTV work even when
EyeTV starts up your Mac, add ZephIR to your Login
items (System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items.)
Configuring iRed and IRTrans with EyeTV
Once you have installed iRed 1.8.2 or later and
IRTrans, you will need to create a virtual iRed tuner
that is able to change channels on your set top box.
Use iRed's Tuner Assistant feature and give your
virtual iRed tuner a unique name. You may want to
enter "Dish", "Comcast", "Time Warner" or something
similar here.
Later on, you will use the same name to identify
your set top box in EyeTV. Leave the iRed
application running after you've configured your
virtual tuner and have verified that iRed can change
channels.
You'll also need to enable iRed to listen for EyeTV
Channel Changes by checking the box in iRed's
Notification preferences:
Also, to ensure that unattended recordings in EyeTV
work even when EyeTV starts up your Mac, add
iRed to your Login items (System
Preferences>Accounts>Login Items.)
For Developers of Infrared Hardware and Software
When the channel is changed in EyeTV, and at
certain other times (e.g. opening the live window,
starting or ending a recording), EyeTV posts a
notification to the CFDistributedNotificationCenter.
For more information about how to post and listen to
notifications, consult Apple's documentation.
The notification name is
CFSTR("com.elgato.ExternalChannelChange") The
notification is accompanied by a dictionary with
three members:
1. key="channelNumber", value = CFNumberRef, the
number, generally 1 through 99999.
2. key="subChannelNumber", value = CFNumberRef,
currently always 0.
3. key= "setTopBoxName", value = CFStringRef. This
is the name from "Name" field of the Configure Set
Top Box dialog. This name should match the name
of the virtual tuner you make in iRed. So, if you set
up a DirecTV box, you should call the Set Top Box in
EyeTV "DirecTV", and the iRed virtual tuner
"DirecTV". Currently, however, iRed ignores the
name field.
If you are a developer and see a need for any other
information in the notification, please contact us at
stb-feedback@elgato.com
