How to switch input on slingboxes through phone

[dg10252010-rgb]

How do i switch the input from 1 to 2 or vice versa on any slingbox. I have a proHD and 2 pros.

In your config file set the VideoSourcei .e.
VideoSource=1
;Check the readme for your devices and the appropriate video source

You can make "Slingboxes" for each of the devices and inputs you use in your config file i.e.
[[SLINGBOXES]
sb1=ProHDtuner
sb2=ProHD
sb3=Pro1
sb4=Pro2

[ProHDtuner]
VideoSource=0
...
[ProHD]
VideoSource=3
...
[Pro1]
VideoSource=0
...
[Pro2]
VideoSource=1
...

I just realized thank you

And another question, how do you use the integrated tuner with dtv and is it digital for the prohd?

[GerryDazoo]

The proHD is ATSC. Select the tuner video source and you can tune the channels using "x.y" where x is the channel and y is the sub-channel i.e. 4.1.
I'm assuming the tuner has already been setup for your local channels. We don't have a way to reconfig it but some people have had some success using SlingPlayer desktop.

Okay ill try it and sorry another question, can we use the ir sensor at all anymore or is that feature gone?

And any way to control the channel from my phone?

And im confused on what you mean by x,y because I dont know where to put it

[GerryDazoo]

1. We don't know how to reconfigure the IR blaster so yes we're out of luck. But there are inexpensive 3rd party options like the Broadlink RM4-Mini. Control of this device is now integrated into the latest version of Slinger.
2. Yes, use a browser to connect to slinger's web-based remote control and in channel field put the channel number in the Channel field and press enter
3. See (2) i.e. you would enter 4.1 as the channel number for the proHD.

Have you checked out SlingerPlayer? https://github.com/GerryDazoo/SlingerPlayer

Yes I use slingwrplayer on my phone and it doesent seem to work with the channel option. What does the link look like? Ive got it set up as (ip:port/slingbox/slingboxname/slingboxinput/channel) is this correct?
