Thank you both for the recommendations!

FYI, The new CresDB has the new Sonos device module which provides the following updates:
V. 3.2.0
- Added support for queue replace
- Added join to restart communications
- Added joins to switch sources
- Added support for CEC commands Added support for audio clips
- Fixed bug where the module will not connect to Sonos systems with special characters
- Added support for favorites lists containing 30 or more items

I have not started testing it yet, but am very happy to *Finally* see the restart communications trigger

I'll report any issues that I find and would appreciate any feedback from others as needed...
TIA!

Received & confirmed 1 report of problematic behavior in Program View.

Specifically re: typing into the status bar to add symbols/subfolders/etc to Logic folder.
When hitting Enter the text isn't cleared. Have to backspace it out, or click away and back.
(Assume this may be related to the newly added CTRL+Enter behavior that adds multiple instances.)

The issue was reported to the SIMPL team, and they noted it'll be fixed in the next release.

Hi All,
For those who've updated to the latest SMW (June 6), have you found any problems, issues or deal-breakers with it?
Though I can't remember specifically what waas wrong with it, I had updated to the previous release and had issues and downgraded back to the one previous to that...

TIA!

Have you tried opening the .pkg in Toolbox Device Learner and changing it to Pulse Only?
?

(Then remove all instances of the current driver in CH, reboot, and load/add the new Pulse Only one.)

Hi,

When I use the native Crestron HR24 IR Driver with DirectTV Stream devices, I get a ton of key bounce.? ?Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you resolve it?

Thx

If someone doesn't respond with a link you can use I would suggest contacting NASA directly with your question.? Over the years I have had to contact government agencies about data they provide, protocols, etc. for various drivers I've written.? Each time I've found the people at the agency I've contacted very friendly and willing to help.?

I found this information on the NASA web site:

or you can submit a question to Contact NASA -

Hope this helps

I am looking for RTSP streams from NASA for a touch panel layout designed to resemble Star Trek computers.? I want to put a live video feed of the planet, etc in the middle using the Video Player object but am having trouble finding addresses.? All of the streams are either through YouTube or other apps, not just straight RTSP streams I can use.

Any links or URLs would be really helpful.?

Hello All,

BBC is moving (has moved) from Shoutcast to an HLS stream to provide their broadcast content. More can be read about that here:?

On eSeries MMS players, this will only affect systems in the UK. Everywhere else in the world, BBC is available through our native TuneIn integration and I have confirmed that is still functional.

For systems in the UK, we have supported BBC via Stream URL's. This has been working fine with the Shoutcast streams up until this week. Concurrently we have been developing a solution to support the new HLS streams in anticipation of this switchover. This functionality will be publicly released next week in a hotfix.

This morning we loaded this hotfix on some of our partner systems, physically located in the UK, and we have confirmed that the HLS functionality works. The HLS stream URL's we've documented are functional and customers can continue to listen to BBC via an MMS in the UK once updating their unit and entering the new URL's. We will continue to test this release over the weekend.

In a future update, we will likely add these stations to units in the UK by default, so this configuration is not required. For now, the documentation to add these URLs is here:?

As mentioned, this hotfix is not publicly released, but I can push it manually if you email me the MMS's MAC address.?MichaelJ@...

So if a reboot does not take care of it, it is probably RMA time.

I wouldn't say that at all.
Worth checking REPORTCRESNET and/or NetDevTree to ensure it's reporting, and at the correct CNET ID (didn't change to default ID, etc).
May need to review and troubleshoot the CNET topology & connections if it isn't.
Otherwise, ensure the program is still running on the processor (didn't stop due to runtime issues, etc - refer to logs if needed).

My mistake, they are in there. I would pretend they are not though.

I think most if not all of the streaming services have been removed. I remember them locking up pretty frequently when being used with a tethered iPod 24/7. There are better options for Airplay these days. Sonos Port does it well. Pretty sure you can get basic airplay info to media player object as well. (at least in simpl)

They do appear in the list.

But I'm worried about functionality given the age of the devices.

you should be aware those cen-nsp-1's are terrible
also I dont see them on the list of supported audio devices either, so looks like they dont work with home

Hello guys,

We need to update an old install featuring an AV3 and multiple SWAMPs with a Crestron Home processor. Are there any limitations we need to be made aware of when using an old SWAMP system (with 2 expanders and 3 CEN-NSP-1 players) with a Crestron Home processor?

Thanks.

I'll just throw in my $.02 since I've done a lot of work with integrating the Hubitat Elevation Hub with a Crestron processor in the SimplWindows world.? I've had email conversations with WIlliam, the principal at NC Systrems.? I'm not sure he is part of this group so I'll just say he is using the same approach as I have for integration and while he only supports a few device types right now, he has told me he plans on adding more support to his CH driver over time.

Personally, I use a lot of devices integrated with my Crestron system through the Hubitat in my own home.? I have found it to be a very stable and reliable platform.? The integration has been rock solid.? The Hubitat, like a Crestron processor, executes everything locally on the hub so it isn't reliant on a cloud service or active Internet connection.?

That being said, when I wrote the article on Crestron-Hubitat integration for Residential Tech Today a few years ago, I found that if you send commands too fast to the Hubitat you can overload that pathway.? So, for example, an all off command that sends 20 individual commands to turn off lights is going to be a problem.? There is an easy work around for this.? The Hubitat allows you to create a light group that combines any number of lights into a single entity.? So, a single command to turn on/off the group will turn on/off all lights in the group.? I haven't tested this recently on the latest C-8 Hubitat hub. However, I expect that while the faster C-8 will handle things better, there will still be limitations.?

I have over 70 devices connected to my Hubitat.? Probably about 1/3 of these are not true devices but are virtual that only exist in software.? I use virtual devices to trigger Alexa routines from my Crestron processor and to integrate with devices whose only integration is through IFTTT (without a port forward on the router).? For example, a sensor in my mailbox is triggered when the mail is delivered and then an announcement is made on all the Alexa devices in my home that the mail has arrived.?

The article is very long and detailed but if you want to learn more about Crestron-Hubitat integration the article is located here:

For those still working in the SimplWindows world my Crestron-Hubitat SimplWindows driver can be found here:

Hope this helps

Very interesting.

Will definitely email them to see if there are any limitations or restrictions I need to be aware of.

Thanks again mate.

BBC Services used to be available on TuneIn.
Now they are acting like complete dicks and it got switched off a while back. Real bummer for those of us using MMS?
