In addition to an mDNS repeater, you may also need to implement an IGMP-proxy.?? That is particular the case if you have an iPad on an different subnet then the Sonos.? I would imagine the same is true for the CP3.

You may also need to implement IGMP snooping and Querier on your switches for both VLANs.

I still have an older Onkyo TX-NR575 and it works fine to control that model using the Integra DTR-80.3 IP v1.2 module.? Onkyo is (or at least used to be) the direct to consumer brand for Integra and used the same control protocols.? The only issue is that if, for some reason, the Onkyo loses power the module needs to be reinitialized or it won't control the Onkyo.? I don't have any fancy hardware / code to detect a power outage and do this automatically.? I'll simply press the software reset button on the processor to get things working again.? This is a rare occurrence for me but it is something you / your client should be aware of.

Hope this helps

Hi All,
I have a project coming up with this Onkyo AVR.
I haven't done an Onkyo for 15 years!!
It is an older unit of course so I'm curious what control media and module others would recommend for reliable communications...
TIA!

Have used this combo a few times, volume control is a little slow but haven't heard clients complain.

How did you ensure the mDDNS packets were traversing across VLAN's? I
thought that can't happen.

i see lots of these

This issue was fixed on this week's database.

yes, but phone won't run 32-bit apps - see my other post about app not compatible
crestron app for android is 32-bit
i have asked what the state of Crestron Go (64-bit maybe) for android is, but for some reason i haven't got an answer yet (been a week)

we have a job from 2021, same code, reconnects quickly
this job (compiled with newer libraries) is really slow
this job is iOS

Thanks Brian.? I've never used CEC with NVX or DM.? Typically I hadn't found it to be as reliable and ran the risk of other devices triggering commands back thru (ie Blu-ray turning a display back on), so I just preferred using IR or 232.? From my experience the most reliable.

Anyway I'll look at the Crestron 101.? Some of their little widgets, even after a couple decades I have a hard time finding. Oh well.

Anyone else who has any experience with weird Samsung display control.? Just haven't dealt with one in a while that didn't at least have discrete IR.? (years ago issues with a non-smart version).

Appreciate any feedback, thank-you,
Jonathan??

It shouldn't take nearly that long. Even on "slow" projects, I've never seen it take more than 5 or so seconds to connect. I suspect an issue with the device itself (some type of setting), the network, or possibly the program - of course we know it's not that :-)

Androids have a setting to limit an app's Wi-Fi use when it's running in the background. I can't remember what it's called, but it's enabled on a per-app basis and should definitely be turned off for Crestron.

I think someone else already mentioned turning off the "Check for Updates" option in the app's settings. Although that will prevent future changes from automatically being applied, it will speed-up the connection time by at least a couple seconds. You could also load the file locally, i.e., store it on the device, but I hate doing that and it's even less convenient if future updates are needed.

Can't you just download the .apk file to your device and side-load the app?? That bypasses the Play store.

Good to know!!
Just to clarify, My concern with P+H is not for example the recent ATV OS issue where you need two commands (Press and P+H) on the same button.
My concern is when you need a repeating command on a P+H like volume...
In using the IR module in the suite that CCi built, Are you using the Digital Inputs with string in the parameters, or an SIO/AOS into their serial Input?

TIA!

is there anything i can do from a programming perspective to keep the app alive on the phone?
maybe some sort of keep alive or heartbeat signal
client is really unhappy with how long it takes to wake back up
i let the app go to sleep on my android phone overnight - took 20-30 sec to reconnect on my local RMC4 running his code
not sure how long before it goes to deep sleep

TBH, have done quite a few of these guys and never run into a P&H issue, but it makes sense.? All the projects we have dealt with usually feed TV audio back into distribution so its always just a matter of turning the TV on and a local Apple TV or something.? I'm sure there probably is a project or two where we had to use a P&H though for whatever reason and it has worked fine without even thinking about it.? For all intents and purposes, the IR commands, at least for Samsung and Sony displays have worked exactly like they would from a Crestron driver.

As I think about this also, since the new Apple TV OS update kind of jacked some P&H stuff up.? We have rolled in the throttle on the commands and it has worked just like it has from a standard Crestron IR control.

Jonathan,

We are typically communicating to displays with Crestron products like DM or NVX, so never had any problems there.

However, Crestron makes an HDMI display controller specifically for the purpose that you are looking for.
The HD-CTL-101 can control a display via CEC commands.
It has an 8K HDMI in and out along with IR, com, and relay.
It can be configured to control the display automatically or via a control system.
Of course, the display has to adhere to the CEC standards for all of this to work.

There are other CEC insertion devices, but I don't think that I would trust them in an installation.

Hope this helps,
Brian

I feel a bit stupid asking, but to control a CEC display I need to have a "driver" that allows me to insert control commands onto the HDMI correct?

Is there another port on any displays that can be used to give CEC control commands?? Assuming there aren't serial ports that have CEC commands available right?

BACKGROUND:? A Samsung WA75C Interactive display.? This is considered digital signage.? So Far:
- IR commands: Samsung Discrete?NO. Power Toggle, Volume, Navs work, but no discretes.
- RS232 Port: No responses to EX-LINK or MDC protocols @ 9600 or 19200 (no garbage back either).?
- TCP/IP: Tried a couple Samsung drivers from crestron.drivers.io to no avail yet.

I have a Binary?B-660-MTRX-8X8?that has CEC Display on/off, but not working consistently.? No other way in the protocol for it that I see to insert CEC commands, BUT in the manual it says it works with CEC commands.

Just wondering if anyone has thoughts or experience.? Spent too much time trying to control this thing.? Thanks, Jonathan.

Hi All,
We're doing are first MXnet project (finally!) and we're needing to use it to pass IR to devices.
I'm confident of the process with the v2.x modules. My question is what is the experience with P+H functions like TV volume, or Guide control (P+H the Up button to have it continuously go up...)
I know that I can use an OSC to retrigger the command string...
What are peoples' experience with this, and has anyone found a better way to deal with it?
Most importantly, how is the client experience with it??

TIA!
