Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron
Same here, would be happy to help beta test. I use both shield versions all the time and have tried a few options.

Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron
Hi Richard,
would be interested too. I have a Shield 2019 Pro and 2017 in my system. At the moment I am using
CEC from NVX, but of course with no feedback and limited control.
thanks and regards

Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron
Hi, ? please add me to the list. ? Would be great to get rid of the hard dongles. ? Cheers, Thorsten ? ? We (Chowmain Software) have just released a Crestron Home driver which doesn't require any hardware, connects immediately and provides controls for pretty much every app and has a list of apps (with app launching, favourites, etc).
When it came out we were asked for a SIMPL version as well, which we now how in the pipeline. The module itself isn't too hard, but I still have to write licencing code so I don't have an ETA just yet. If anyone wants to help us beta test though I'd love to get some help. Just let me know and I'll add you to the list.

Re: Mobile Pro G app on iPad - archive download error
Are you hosting the iPad file on processor or locally on iPad?

Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron
Another beta tester interest here. I have 2017 and 2019 Pro versions

Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron
I too would like to test for personal use at home.?
Please let me know. - Tray
I'd be very interested to help beta test.
For whatever it's worth, I would only be testing on my system at home; my employer never integrates these things (not very applicable to our clientele). I, on the other hand, use my Shield every day, normally controlled via my Crestron system.?

You can easily use WebAPI or something similar to mock one up. --

I've never seen the need for a Content-Length on a GET requests because it isn't really standard to have a message body in GET requests. Think about what happens when you type a URL in your browser. ? --

Re: HttpsClient => Content-Length issue
When you send a "GET" request, there should be no Content.
I have never needed to add content length myself in the header for Crestron http or https.
Cheers,

The problem seems to be that Crestron https fails to include the Content-Length in the header, and if I try to add it myself, it will cause the https client to fail (becomes unresponsive, with nothing on the error log that I can tell).
Important to note that this is not a matter of making a mistake when adding the header: I tested this by adding some other custom headers and they work just fine. But as soon as I try to add a Content-Length header it will freeze without any clues as to why (which is something I shouldn't have to do to begin with).

Here is a more simplified version of the code with a functional example demonstrating both the pass/fail scenarios. It can be loaded in a 3-series and tested from the console.

Erik: I gave it a shot using your way as well but the problem persisted. The issue seems deeper than the just the code-base we are using.

Based on some reading I did, Content-Length is one of those things that is optional or mandatory depending on the HTTP version, and I can't really sniff anything meaningful with Wireshark because its all encrypted.
I'm starting to think if this has anything to do with what HTTP Version Crestron is using... I might open a case with crestron, will keep trying...?

What is everyone using as a test server that SimplWindows, S+ and C# can all connect to and retrieve data. Trying not to need to purchase an actual server but more virtual.
Currently trying to get Chrome Web Server to function. Works in browser but not able to get C# to connect and retrieve and files. I've heard that this can be done with Dropbox.
For instance: I created an XML (probably need to convert to JSON) that has all my channel lineups. Includes channel# and logo URL. Is there a virtual server that I can save this document and reference in C# to retrieve file so I can use the data?
Chrome Web Server points to a folder on your local laptop and I can view this document in a browser using??IP:8080/data/myLineup.xml?

Mobile Pro G app on iPad - archive download error
Hello,
?
My Crestron installation is 10 years old and working perfectly. However, an older iPad (version 9.0) is still being used for the Crestron Mobile Pro G app (V2.00). We tried to install the Mobile Pro G app on a newer iPad
(iPadAir2).
Got it to connect to the server and all but as it loads the archive file, it stops at the 29th of 136 manifest file and then displays the dreaded ¡°Archive Error¡± message¡ and then suggests that the best man
to contact is your friendly installer¡
?
Don¡¯t see why it still works fine on the old iPad but can only load part of the manifest files on the new iPad.? Has anyone had the same or similar problem? - Ingrid

THANK YOU very much for this.? The ZeeVee supplied modules certainly do leave a lot to be desired.? The information you provided has been a huge help!

Hi,
Lincoln that worked for me...
Thank you so much for your help, i really appreciate it.?
I thought I would have needed Substrings and Gathers to pull the information but your suggestion has worked a charm.

Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron
Hi, ? i?m using Videostrom IRUSB. It says IR in it?s name, but the IR-part is not being used for this purpose: it creates a direct IP-control connection. It works pretty well. The only drawback is that it takes a couple of minutes after booting the Shield until the control connection is established. Plus it creates an annoying splash screen that looks pretty confusing to people. ? I?m also into Control4 ¨C so if I can do anything to support you writing a Crestron module based on that, give me a shout. ? Cheers, Thorsten ? ? I use a homebrew solution to control mine at home which is, unfortunately, not licensed for commercial use.
I always tell people this, but beware of solutions that emulate USB keyboards such as the Flirc. Keyboard support is solid in Android TV OS, but most TV app developers don't expect you to use a keyboard, and some common apps (I'm lookin at you, HULU) don't support keyboard input at all.
I know they released an official Control4 TCP/IP driver a few months back. Been waiting to see if it's possible to write a S+ module that can use the same method as the Control4 driver. I know nothing about Control4, though.?

Re: Who likes a troubleshooting mystery?
The fact that one of the panels gives a completely different format for it's ping reply makes me wonder if Crestron's beloved Auto-update updated firmware on some of the panels. Check your firmware revs.
?
Another possibility might be some sort of multicast blocking on the switches.
