LargoSwitch V 1.0 - english short guide
Modul for DVBDream V 1.3 and above.


===== ATTENTION =====
Decoding and watching Premiere-Feeds without a valid subsription and certified 
hardware is illegal!


What is LargoSwitch ?
=====================
LargoSwitch pretty much equals the wellknown 'GreenButton' Plugin for ProgDVB.
It lists the different "Premiere Direkt" Pay-Per-View-Channels, as well as sports and 
erotic for faster and simple selection.
There is an option to create own favorites in the list.

It solely functions with german Pay-TV-Provider Premiere, transmitted via cable-tv 
and satellite on ASTRA 19.2.

This tool doesn't decode ANYTHING, so don't even bother.


Installation
============
For correct function, the according Premiere transponders have to be scanned 
beforehand in DVBDream and should be available in the channel-list.
You don't need to rename 'NameLess'-channels.

Copy the files 'LargoSwitch.ini' and 'LargoSwitch.mod' to the subdirectory 
'Modules' of your DVBDream-installation - that's all.

Restart DVBDream.


Handling
========
Select 'Modules' from DVBDream's main-menu and click 'Largoswitch'.
A Window will open and list the different Premiere Channels and your own 
favourites.

Double-click (left mouse key) a portal or program will display it in DVBDream.
A double-click on a self created group will only work if you entered a NodeSID in 
the ini file (see below)!

A single-right-click will expand or collapse the selected portal.

The list's state and actual position, width and height of the window will be saved 
and restored on next start.

Selecting 'New Scan' from the menu will cause LargoSwitch to reread the 
data-feed and update the lists accordingly.

This can be done automatically when you select 'Timer' in menu 'More'. The entry 
will be checked - Clicking again will uncheck it.

Addtional items on menu 'More':

- Channel-Info
Shows internal DVBDream channel-information of the selcted portal.
Does not work on self created groups.

- Save Buffer
Save raw data of the collected information to a file.
Only for debugging.

- Timer
See above. Value in brackets is the time to repeat update.
Interval is defined in the INI-file.

NOTE:
When LargoSwitch is started it automatically searches for neccessary data.
If DVBDream actually shows a 'non-Premiere-program' (e.g. ARD, RTL, etc), a 
short switch to the next available Premiere-transponder will be made.
Depending on the speed of DVB-hardware this can take several seconds.
As soon as all neccessary data has been read, DVBDream will switch back to the 
perviously watched program automatically.

Hotkeys:
Ctrl + Alt + D, S or E displays / hides the Premiere-protals Direkt, Sports and Erotic 
in the list.


Configuration
=============
Several parameters and self defined groups will be saved in an initialisation file 
(LargoSwitch.ini).
This is an easy to handle text file which normally will be opened with Windosw 
Notedpad editor.

This file holds the several sections:
- [LargoSwitch]
The entries Top, Left, Height and Width define position and size of the window.
You can make manual changes here, but you don't need to.
Just move and resize the window by mouse.

TimerEnabled=0 means that the timer is disabled. '1' activates the automatic 
update.
TimerInterval=60 defines the time in seconds between updates.
You really don't need an interval with less then 60 - 120 seconds.

- [View]
DP, SP and EP describe the corresponding portals: Direkt-, Sports- und Erotic.
"1" will display the according portal, "0" will hide it. You don't have to set them 
here,
just use the shortkeys ctrl-alt (or ctrl-shift) + D, S or E while using LargoSwitch.

Lists= defines the different section-names of PREMIERE portals or self defined 
groups 
E.g. =DP,SP,EP,Prem,Std and have to be comma-separated. The portals and 
groups
will appear in this order in the LargoSwitch treeview. Portals or Groups that are not 
listed
her are not shown in LargoSwitch.
For every self defined group you have to create a separate section with same 
name.

- [Prem] / [Std]
These are sections of self-defined groups. Names have to be identical to 
corresponding entries in "Lists".
Title= defines the node name as shown in LargoSwitch.
NodeSID= defines the so called Service-ID for the node.
List= defines a list of so called Service-ID's - also comma-separated.
Service-ID's are unique numbers, which identify the different channels.

You will find these SID's in DVBDream like this:
1. Select and activate (important!) the desired channel.
2. Right click on the channel-entry and select Channel Properties
3. You will find the SID in the upper right edge of the Window.

Names will be listed in same order as the SID's are placed.

- [Collapse]
Descriptions are the same as in [View].
"0" expands the according group, "1" collapses it.
E.g. "SP=1" collapses Sports, while "EP=0" expands Erotic.
You don't have to change anything here. You can expand and collapse nodes by 
right-clicking
the node.


Have fun!
