Re: Kodi Commands

#220037

Just sent this from debugger and it worked. Found the command on remote central to try in a browser. I inserted it into what I had from the Simple commands from the Roku I did. POST and \x0D\x0A\x0D\x0A. I still don't know how to gather this from the API documentation but it works so I'll go from here.

POST /jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Input.Right","id":1}\x0D\x0A\x0D\x0A

Kodi Commands

#220036

Hi All,

I am, as a learning experience, messing around with IP control. I recently got control of my Roku to control and direct launch etc... Now I'm working with my Raspberry Pi with Kodi installed and I just want to start with basic transport controls as I'm currently using CEC through my TV. I'm getting a bit lost in the JSON API and what the structure will look like coming from Crestron. I'm just looking at using a TCP Client in simpl and using a SIO to send commands if that works. That's how I did it with the Roku. I can connect succesfully using HTTP port or TCP port and I get responses from Kodi with Bad Request via TCP and a 401 via HTTP when I attempt control.

I've downloaded the free module out there and it works but since it's all in Simpl+ I'm having a hard time putting to string together as to what it is when it sends and it not something I can follow in debugger since it's all contained.

I would appreciate a single example to put in the SIO like for select or a directional command (up, down.....) and I can go from there. Sorry if this is out there already but I'm stuck.

Thanks

FYI I have noticed that TSW panels seem to like the H.264H High Profile vs H.264 Standard Profile as well.

We have Ubiquiti Unifi system that works well. But it sometimes exhibits the same delays. It does not do mjpeg.

I have mine set to h264 and 15fps via rest. 640x360

I don't know if you've looked in the help section of Crestrons website yet but, if you search for "streaming" it should bring up some documents that show the best rtsp/mjpeg settings to use for specific brands/models. I'm not sure if hikvisiin is in there, but it would be worth a look for sure

IMO, though, you are better off using mjpeg with the Crestron app. I have 8 cams in my system and the 7 that don't support rtsp take about a second or two to start streaming. The one that uses rtsp used to take about 5-6 seconds to load but has been taking a good 12-15 seconds to load lately.

Just curious what their UPLOAD side is.? Just checked my clients settings.? Sub stream is D1 (704x480) 15 FPS 1280 Bit Rate.? H.264H.? Takes 2 Seconds to pop up.? My clients updside is 25M

?

Make sure your bit rate down too.?

?

I have another client that live in the middle of nowhere with a bonded dsl to get 12M down and his up is let than 1M.? His cameras are setup exactly the same except for the frame rate is 400.? His cameras only take about 5 seconds to show.

Polycom Group Skye for Business Cloud/O365 integration

#220032

We're apparently among the first 'publicly' to attempt to register a Polycom Group series to O365 (cloud-based Skype for Business). This feature isn't even supported by MS yet, only through a special program run by Polycom.

We found out the hard way that MS requires the Polycom RealPresence Touch to be paired in order to register the endpoint to the S4B cloud SIP registrar. Apparently MS is forcing Polycom (and likely others, including Crsetron) to only use their approved UI when using endpoints with S4B online. Confirmed by our regional Polycom tech sales guy. (thanks for not telling us before we made the decision, but that's another story)

He claims that even if we buy their TP, all or part of the API is restricted so that it isn't possible to join a calendar skype meeting over the API.

Obviously our goal is to not put two touchpanels in front of the user, and in a large divisible space that would be a challenge anyway.

Anyone tried to register a Group to O365 and tried the API? I'm tempted to just buy one and try myself, but I'm thinking that will just confirm an undesirable result.

I'm tempted to yank the Polycom and just use RL2, but that has its own issues, not the least of which is having to 'adapt' HDMI output from DM switch for the camera, and somehow tie it in to a BSS DSP.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Re: Sharp LC60LE661U volume ramp issue.

#220031

Using the volume in these things can be done but I would echo some of the other comments. Modify the module and if you need. Do you need 100 true steps or increment of say 2, 3.? Sharp has newer firmware that helps with the lock up issue but sometimes a hard power cycle is needed when using volume. Look at the polling. Do you really need all of it...

Hello all, just updating everyone here.

I've chosen a few people to test out the module they've received it and when I have feedback I will let users know where to get the module.

If theres anyone out there that could potentially help me with one issue I cant seem to solve that would be great. One user requested the ability to set a lights colour via RGB. I have successfully been able to convert the RGB values to xy but I am having a difficult time convert xy to RGB. Does anyone have a formula that works? I've tried a few and cant seem to make it work.?

Perhaps they had leftover RS232 chipsets from their old projectors that were notorious for having full buffers.? Anybody else remember that?

Yes the polling is the problem of the com port on the tv locking up. Modify the polling rate in the module or make your own. Sharps do not like getting hit with a lot of commands in a short period and get rather pissy about it. As for the tv fully locking up, I can't say I have experienced that one and I have controlled hundreds maybe even thousands of sharps. On a side note, I only poll sharps for power state at about a 3 second rate and I make sure to stop polling when a command is sent and block polling for 2 seconds after the last command is sent.

Thanks Steve and Logantv,

? Logantv, are you using a canned module with polling for settings or are you just sending commands? Do you think it would make any difference if you were only sending commands? Steve, are you seeing the same issue?

Thank you guys.

It's disappointing since this is the last usable non-PNL Sharp but it's happened to every one we installed and nothing has fixed any of them, including RMA replacement. I hope you have better luck, but we've stopped using Sharp for anything but interactives.

Sounds like your stream resolution is to high. I wrote a module mainly for ICR that will call for the secondary stream when panel indicates that it is remote as well as allowing for different port call when remote.?

For those who don't know, there already IS a slack group with a good crew of people there helping each other out. we have around 141 members currently after starting it up around July of 2016. You can sign up at??. i try and not spam this yahoo group with the link as i want to respect the fact that this is a great active community and don't want to tear it down in any way.

Eric is also very correct in that the reddit group is pretty active and is another good source of help and you should check that out if the yahoo group is frustrating

The unfortunate fact of the yahoo group is its legacy. Its been around for 18 years, there are 11,345 members, countless threads and files of people helping each other out. The yahoo groups format isnt' the greatest but has the advantage of easy file sharing, and chats that come to your email without having to go to an application or dedicated web page.?

I truly hope that yahoo doesn't kill groups but if it does, hopefully we can archive the files and maybe chats into an AWS S3 storage so that we don't lose so many years of little fixes that only are found through experience.
