Without vs 2008 it doesn't look like you can install the simpl# library. Does this also mean that you can't properly compile a module with simpl# code

SIMPL# only interacts with SIMPL+ as currently designed. I was told this
is because the SIMPL/SIMPL+ bridge is well tested and they didn't want to
disturb it or add more complexity there. SIMPL# Pro will support running C#
code on one entire program slot without SIMPL, which is the biggest reason
for multiple program slots that I've seen so far.

Re: Another samsung ex-link question

 

FYI, we ran across a TV last week (UN46ES7500F) that would only respond to
"off" commands from a 1-way 232 port, not from a full COM port. Maybe
EX-Link expects TTL levels and gets overdriven by standard 232? No idea,
this is the first time I've seen this, but then we usually have these on
1-way 232 ports anyway...

I've been using ex-link with Samsung since the 'A' series and only had
issue with one B-series model with an RF remote that wouldn't respond to
the ON command (everything else worked) and on small, cheap EH panel that
didn't work. Everything else has worked fine
A, B, C, D, EH + ES, and the first 3 F-series that i've done.
I only use one-way from an SIO, as early tests of the FB seemed as
expected - crappy! so I stuck with 1-way and never had an issue.

Re: Crestron Simpl# and VS2008

 

2008 and 2010 will live side by side peacefully. It does need to be the
Professional version of VS2008, which is available through an MSDN
subscription. This requirement is because Microsoft does not support the
Compact Framework in 2010 for unknown reasons. ".NET Compact Framework
application development is supported in Visual Studio 2008, but not in
Visual Studio 2010." from
(v=vs.100).aspx
It's possible Microsoft will release a new version of VS with support for
CF, but it seems likely that it will not be part of the Express/free
versions.

Re: Circular D-pad? Non-Core3

Eric Williams
 

I use an animation with the (6) states. I overlay the 5 transparent buttons onto the animation. Unit an analog value from each button press to drive the animation to the state you want. Then I use a nor from the 5 buttons to drive the animation back to its resting state. Works great and alot easier than lining up buttons.

Re: The extended ASCII codes in 3-series

 

There is a change in character encoding. With a 3-series you can have ASCII and UTF16. If you are using UTF16, you need to put in 2 bytes to represent 1 character.

To make it more 2-series compatible, you can put in the compiler directive:
#ENCODING_ASCII

Or probably put a &#92;x00 in front of your &#92;xB0 (may be behind the &#92;xB0 as well, as Crestron uses UTF16-Little Endian.)

Kind regards,

Sebastiaan

Re: LOVE this Crestron Samsung TV APP

 

We spent a bit of time looking into this for a potential hotel job, and it really wasn't worth it.

Fundamentally it's based around the MLX-3 style UI (i.e. not very configurable) so you can't even brand it for the client. There's no overlay, so you'd have to switch context all the time (which makes it pretty much useless). It staggers me how Crestron even put these things on the table, let alone build them into products in such a half-baked way.

Just for fun - you can "trick" the MC3 and load a full Core3 UI project onto it. It doesn't really work (joins don't work, the aspect/rendering is all off)... but it runs Air just fine, so performance isn't the issue as far as we could tell. Crazy...

Streaming Radio Question

joehostyn
 

I'm trying to figure out a simple fix for what should be a simple problem. I have a client that would like local talk radio in several of their houses that would normally be available on AM radio. At one point it was available on the FM stream from the local cable company, but was killed two years ago when they freed up the bandwidth for other services. I switch to MP3 streams on their Request Media servers.

Sometime over the last 7 months the radio stations seemed to have killed all their MP3 support and now are only Flash. I can get it on Tune-In (a streaming site).

It appears my options to stick with request are to trade in the 4.x series servers for something that supports their new OS at a fairly heft expense (3k plus for each server). If I do I can then get at if from Tune-In and not have to reprogram much.

I was also thinking about using something like Roku which supports Tune-In, but I'm not sure if I can do it easily.

If there are any Roku experts out here, I've installed a Roku box to test, including one of the modules posted here. I can add the tune-in app and create an account plus put the stations in my favourites. What I can see is how I can easily select and play the favorite stations without using the video interface. Is there a way to make each station as simple as a single touch panel button press?

Does anyone have a simpler streaming radio solution for these types of stations? Apple TV and airplay may be a possibility but it seems a bit kludgy.

Also note, they have no AM reception for the area the stations are in.
