Curday.dat and Nxtday.dat Breakdowns...This is a Work in Progress and will be cleaned up soon...

The header information

The general pattern of Channel information for DREV 5:

1 Hex Character - Value is the Julian Day - in our example '['

5 digits for Channel number (string of data - no more than 5 characters)

6 null characters

6 character Source ID (if the Source ID is less than 6 characters, null characters will fill the rest of the space)

1 null character

6 character Call Letters (if the Call Letters are less than 6 characters, null characters will fill the rest of the space)

2 null characters

1 Hex Character 1st Flag of information (None, HiliteSrc, SumbySrc, VideoTagDisable, CAF_PPVSRC, Ditto, AltHiliteSrc, Stereo)

6 Hex character Timeslot Mask (in our example showing 6 ""ÿ"" characters)

6 Hex character Blackout Mask (in our example showing 6 null characters)

1 Hex Character for Flag #2 (still working on what thie one does, possibly flags the channel for Sports and Movie Summaries)

2 Hex Characters for Background Color (colors available are determined by Gradient.ini - in our example ÿÿ)

2 Characters for Brush ID (unknown format yet - possibly string - in our example 00)

2 Null Characters

1 Hex Character for 3rd Flag of information (Grid, MR, DNICHE, DMPLEX, and CF2_DPPV - possibly 3 additional flags as well)

6 Character Source ID again

Then the listings follows after this...

Notes:

The first character (in this case of the untouched listings - '[') is the character that corresponds to the HEX code for the Julian Date. All characters are good and will reset after FF to 00. This character changes daily.


Flag #1

IMPORTANT: For channels showing None and Stereo, there is a hidden HEX Code 81 (decimal 129) at the beginning (listings that appears to be 17 digits in the code) - The HEX 81 does not print on-screen and is only visible in a HEX editor.


Timeslot Mask - Each character in this block turns the listings on or off for channels that go off-air.

ÿÿÿÿÿÿ block is for times the grid will show specific channel / message

>>>>>
Position 15:00am to 8:59am
Position 29:00am to 12:59pm
Position 31:00pm to 4:59pm
Position 45:00pm to 8:59pm
Position 59:00pm to 12:59am
Position 61:00am to 4:59am

NUL Char will drop the listing from the list ü char will show the listing for the times that have ÿ ETX will show the off-air message. À will hide the listing

Flag #2

(Hex character 09 must be changed in a Hex editor only) 0-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60,61-70, 71-80, 81-90, 91-100, 101-110

Color Flags:

flag1 = 0x%02X, flag2 = 0x%04X, BgColor = 0x%02X, FgColor = 0x%02X, BrushId = %s
         ‚                                 ÿ             ÿ              00<nul><nul> 

                                   HEX 03 Yellow    HEX03 Yellow

HEX 06 Gray HEX anything else is white

Colors are determined in Gradient.ini file - any color listed can be used for background...

Foreground Text is either Yellow (HEX03) or White (any other HEX value)

Flag #3

Last Character before the last Source ID- Flag #3


For the Listings Themselves

<NUL> TimeSlot <NUL> Program Flags <NUL> Program Type <NUL> Movie Category <NUL> unknown type <NUL>

TimeSlot - between 0 and 49

Program Flags - in decimal form 0 to 255

Program Type - 1 for Movie, 5 for Sports, 19 for Children, 22 for News, 34 for General, etc. This is in decimal form

Movie Category (1 for Adult, 4-Comedy, 5, 7, 10-Musical 18(SciFi?), etc) This is in decimal form

unknown type: Last number appears to be 0 only, still trying to determine - could be carry over to Win NT Guide
