Didn't read through entire thread, so stop me if someone has done this... I'm creating a vbscript to automate the process of assigning a users MAC to the addons.ini file in iVue. It will have a popup box for the user to enter the raw encoded mac address string from their addons.ini file (following the original tutorial method for copying it from this thread) and a pop up to enter YOUR mac address. It will do the rest: convert the raw string, tack on the 6 digits from your mac address, re-encode, and replace all instances with it in your addons.ini file. About half way done..., but I have a question...
Should this tack on the first 6 or last 6 from a users MAC?
So if my raw decoded string looks like this: mac": "00:1A:79:BB:BB:BB", "
and cleaned up string looks like this: 00:1A:79:BB:BB:BB
...and MY mac address looks like this: AB:CD:EF:00:01:02
Should the final MAC look like this? 00:1A:79:00:01:02
or this? 00:1A:79:AB:CD:EF
Also, I've read about some users using 00:1A:78 (not always 79). Not clear if this is determined in original iVue addons.ini file or not. If it's something the user needs to specify, I could just make another pop box for the user to enter 78 or 79. I welcome any other ideas...
Also, would be a windows only tool...
thx
