[mythtv-users] cidbcast mythudprelay and caller id on my laptop?

[David Won]

Ick. It's a windows program.
I'm on a new track now.
Using netcat I can do this.
netcat listen for UDP on port 6948.

nc -l -u -p 6948
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mythnotify version="1"><container name="notify_cid_info"><textarea
name="notify_cid_line"><value>LINE #1</value></textarea><textarea
name="notify_cid_name"><value>NAME: JOE SCHMOE</value></textarea><textarea
name="notify_cid_num"><value>NUM : (301)
555-1212</value></textarea><textarea name="notify_cid_dt"><value>DATE: 11/3
TIME: 10:8</value></textarea></container></mythnotify>

Spits out the XML that is broadcast. Now all I have to do is strip out the
name and number and send it to osd right. Nope..... It only works for the
first connection. I have to restart netcat after each time.

>From the man page
"*-u* Use UDP instead of TCP. On most platforms, *nc* will behave as if

             a connection is established until it receives an ICMP packet
             indicating that there is no program listening to what it sends."


Now I have to figure out a way for netcat to start listening again.
getting there slowly but surely.
