There was a list of these I thought in the wiki, but I can't seem to find it.

Does anyone have it that they would share?

I dug up thispage that ruttmeister created. It has a document that I used to create the MetaData page on the wiki.

If you look at the second page, there is a list of showing bits codes...are these correct?

1 = (CC)
2 = (Stereo)
3 = (CC, Stereo)
4 = (Sub)
5 = (CC, Sub)
6 = (Stereo, Sub)
7 = (CC, Stereo, Sub)
8 = (In Prog)
9 = (CC, In Prog)
10 = (Stereo, In Prog)
11 = (CC, Stereo, In Prog)
12 = (Sub, In Prog)
13 = (CC, Sub, In Prog)
14 = (Stereo, Sub, In Prog)
15 = (CC, Stereo, Sub, In Prog)
16 = (Class)
17 = (CC, Class)
18 = (Stereo, Class)
19 = (CC, Stereo, Class)
20 = (Sub, Class)
21 = (CC, Sub, Class)
22 = (Stereo, Sub, Class)
23 = (CC, Stereo, Sub, Class)
24 = (In Prog, Class)
25 = (CC, In Prog, Class)
26 = (Stereo, In Prog, Class)
27 = (CC, Stereo, In Prog, Class)
28 = (Sub, In Prog, Class)
29 = (CC, Sub, In Prog, Class)
30 = (Stereo, Sub, In Prog, Class)
31 = (CC, Stereo, Sub, In Prog, Class)
32 = (SAP)
33 = (CC, SAP)
34 = (Stereo, SAP)
35 = (CC, Stereo, SAP)
36 = (Sub, SAP)
37 = (CC, Sub, SAP)
38 = (Stereo, Sub, SAP)
39 = (CC, Stereo, Sub, SAP)
40 = (In Prog, SAP)
41 = (CC, In Prog, SAP)
42 = (Stereo, In Prog, SAP)
43 = (CC, Stereo, In Prog, SAP)
44 = (Sub, In Prog, SAP)
45 = (CC, Sub, In Prog, SAP)
46 = (Stereo, Sub, In Prog, SAP)
47 = (CC, Stereo, Sub, In Prog, SAP)
48 = (Class, SAP)
49 = (CC, Class, SAP)
50 = (Stereo, Class, SAP)
51 = (CC, Stereo, Class, SAP)
52 = (Sub, Class, SAP)
53 = (CC, Sub, Class, SAP)

If they are, I would like to put them in an update I am working on...

that list is only showing the bottom 6 bits of the word. You add the bits to get those numbers.

And other bits ARE being used to this day. Example, Intercast.

My list is from Tivo. Just an FYI.

The list I posted is being used to this day. I just don't know what bit they are using for HD. Too bad we can't get into god mode on a tivohd/S3. We could see the bit values for every program under 'Show info' and be able to figure out the HD bit nmber.

From your post HERE, you've already gotten most of the work done, correct ?

What I would like would be to have the list of bits so I can populate a drop down box for the user....

So I need the name, and the value to go with it....

Isn't that exactly what I listed out above ?

ok so for example,

You can form a bitmask by performing a logical OR on all of the desired bit flags from the list above.

So, for an example recording that had CC, SAP, and was letterboxed, you'd have :

0x00000001 (CC)
0x00000020 (SAP)
0x00000400 (Letterbox)
=========
0x00000421

Converting hex 0x421 to decimal would result in a value of 1057.

Yes, exactly.

Each items represents a bit in a computer word. Your 'OR' them together or if using decimal, just add them to obtain the number including all bits.

So if you used checkboxes, for each one checked, just add the appropriate number for it and when done, the number will represent all the items checked.

Like:
tot=0
if checkbox1=true then tot = tot+1
if checkbox2=true then tot=tot+2
if checkbox3=true then tot=tot+4
if checkbox4=true then tot=tot+8

and so forth.

When done, tot contains the bits encoded into decimal

Checkboxes might not be a good idea for this....

Maybe a list box with the Add/Remove for each possible bit...

what do you think?

PaulS · Joined: 04 Jan 2008 Posts: 148

Sounds like having 32 checkboxes would be quite overwhelming.

I like the idea of an Add/Remove. Something like this ?

that's what I think I am going to do.

Of course, there won't be a "Restore Defaults" or a "Move up/down" button there. That's what I was talking about.
