Re: TCP/IP Server will not the request open port

 

For the TCP Server, that address actually is a list of all the allowed
devices that can connect to the TCP Server.
Right now, you're only allowing a device at 192.168.0.3 to connect.

Most of the time, you'll want that to be 0.0.0.0

Re: Biamp control quitting after a few days of non-use

 

We had that problem with the 7.2 modules and moved to 7.4 and that
seemed to resolve the issue.

Re: Biamp control quitting after a few days of non-use

 

I second that. I really dislike the Crestron Module. I just write my own S+ module to do what I want it to do for that particular job. Then modify it as needed for future jobs. It's usually just a Dialer, some Fader Levels and Presets. Very easy to control and parse.

Done this with up to 10 Biamp Audio Flex through one serial port, with no issues.
Make one module that senses volume, mute, etc.
Then just modify for mixer blocks etc.

I don't know about the 7.2 modules, but the Command Processor other versions (including 5 and at least some in the 7.x chain) have really bad queue management, in that there is no timeout on a response so they'll send a command and if they don't get a response they'll never send another command again.

You can try teasing it by sending the Biamp a carriage return/line feed in Debugger, and if all is good the Biamp will respond with its own carriage return/line feed and that's enough to wake the module back up.

I've gotten to the point with many projects where I'm adding my own "queue teaser" such that if a command goes in to the processor and we don't see anything leave for some period of time the program does what I described above. It's not perfect (in that there's no real error checking/correcting so it's entirely possible that that one command disappeared into the ether) but it's better than having the thing lock up and 99% of the time any "lost" commands are easy enough to regenerate.

Re: TCP/IP Server will not the request open port

 

Unless you want to restrict connections to a TCP server, you should specify
the address as 0.0.0.0. Any other value will restrict it to only accept
connections from the IP you specify.

Re: EISC offline

 

We had this issue with a Pro2 and CP2E and we worked with Crestron engineers who said it was a firmware bug. They sent us a beta firmware that took care of the issue. Contact TB.

The MC2E hasn't ever had this problem.

Re: Opinions on Media Player Core3/SmartGraphics object?

 

I used the Media Player object for the first time last month, with several TSW
panels, a couple of DGE-2's, and an X-Panel. We used it with an IDOC and
CEN-TRACK (AM, FM, XM, and AUDIONET).

Some of the features were nice, but I REALLY disliked not being able to change
(easily) simple things like object & font sizes, placement, and even button
labels.

It was also VERY SLOW to startup. I don't know if that was because we were
using multiple sources, or if that's just how it is, but it was noticeable and
annoying. Overall I wasn't impressed, and will continue to use "the old way"
for those sources unless someone specifically requests the Media Player, or it
gets a lot better.
