Hi all,

What is the proper way to get notified of the current service change without using a timer and pooling the information from the session.nav.getcurrentService() ?

I don´t know how to do that in python, a simple shell script does the job too

#!/bin/sh
# service_changed
servicerefold=""
while sleep 1; do
      	servicerefnew=`/usr/bin/wget -O - -q http://127.0.0.1/web/getcurrent | /bin/grep -B 1 "\(<\|</\)e2servicename" | /bin/sed 's/<[^>]*>//g' | /bin/sed 's/^[ \t]*//' | /bin/sed '2d'`
        if [ "$servicerefnew" != "$servicerefold" ]; then
		# echo "service changed"
		/usr/bin/wget -q -O /dev/null "http://127.0.0.1/web/message?text=service%20changed%20!!&type=1&timeout=1"
        fi
        servicerefold="$servicerefnew"
done &

This is so not done...

use the serviceEventTracker and e.g. use the iPlayableService.evStart from there and then get the current service from Navigation.

 

In InfoBarGenerics there are enough examples...

@mervica thank you for the answer, but pooling the state with python timer would be faster i think especially from a pluging context.

 

Thank you @littlsat, the serviceEventTracker used in the infobar dose not effectively help me it needs a screen and i want to watch for service change in the background.

 

i am using a timer to look for channel change every 1 second.

 

But i have not figured out how to get the service ID (sSID)..

    def update_service_info(self):
        service = session.nav.getCurrentService()
        info = service and service.info()
        data = info and info.getInfoObject(iServiceInformation.sTransponderData)
        sref = ServiceReference(self.session.nav.getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference())
        name = sref.getServiceName()
        print sref.toString()

        cur_orbpos = data.get("orbital_position", INVALID_POSITION)
        cur_freq = data.get("frequency", 0)
        service_id = self.getinfo(iServiceInformation.sSID)
        print  cur_orbpos,cur_freq,name, service_id

        service = session.nav.getCurrentService()
        info = service and service.info()
        data = info and info.getInfoObject(iServiceInformation.sTransponderData)
        name = ServiceReference(self.session.nav.getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference()).getServiceName()
        service_id = self.session.nav.getCurrentlyPlayingServiceReference().toString().split(':')[3] # geting service id from service reference string
        sat_pos = str(data.get("orbital_position", INVALID_POSITION))
        frequency = str(data.get("frequency", 0) / 1000)
        print  name,sat_pos,frequency, service_id

This is how i get the information now how i can avoid pooling this information continuously and  update it only on service change ?

Then look further what that tracker is doing

class   Someclass :
  event_callbacks =[]       


 self.session.nav.event.append(Someclass.service_event) # callback shoud be static method 
 Someclass.event_callbacks.append(self.update_service_info)

    @staticmethod
    def service_event(evt):
        if (evt == iPlayableService.evStart):
            print "channel changed....!", evt
            for func in Someclass.event_callbacks:
                print func
                func()

This is how to get notified when some navigation events occur.

Thank you @littlsat for the eventtracker hint.
