I2MsgEncoder

Released for reference and historical purposes only. This code no longer works.

This is the original I2MsgEncoder, created in 2019 as the first program to send data to an Intellistar 2. It uses TWC's deprecated DSX API, and requires an older software version on the I2 to work.

I am releasing it now under the GPL 3.0 license to use as a reference in making your own projects.

Setup

1. This software requires a separate NIC with an IP address of 10.100.102.10 The I2 has Windows firewall rules in place to only allow UDP traffic in from that IP.
2. Rename config.example.json to config.json and edit your headend id.
3. Place your MachineProductCfg.xml file in the same directory as I2MsgEncoder
