Re: AppleTV Context Menu Access

#238393

Not really an answer to Geoff’s question, but we are working on an update for the ATV module. ?With tvOS 14 it looks like Apple have gone a bit byte-happy with their message payloads which has given us a load of buffer overflows in the decryption. ?At the same time I’m looking to improve feedback and transport control. ?Update should be ready soon.

The Bonjour issue remains, but Crestron engineering have been actively working on that - we even had a zoom call to verify the exact symptoms.

Sorry Geoff - I didn’t mean to take your post OT.

Appreciate the response.? Will play with this a bit tomorrow and hopefully be able to figure it out.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

Don't have much experience with REST API's hoping I can just get a bit of info.

Here is an example command from the API.

I know I will be told to get this done through simpl# however I have never used it so that may be tough.? I was hoping I can write this in SIMPL+.? Just basically looking for a quick rundown, can I use a TCP/IP Client to connect on port 80 or do I need to connect inside the SIMPL+ module?

Also, it has the PUT url, then the header, and then body.? I am not sure how to format this inside simpl+.? Can I simply use a makestring and send the entire thing out at once, or do I need to send the PUT, wait for a response, and then send the rest?? A small breakdown of format would be extremely helpful.

Lastly, does an API typically require commands for every parameter to be sent? Or if I am not adjusting the IP settings can I just leave them out of the code entirely?

Thanks so much in advance.

Update the system-wide settings for the device.

These settings include network settings, name, id and other attributes not related to encode, decode, or media transmission.

Re: AppleTV Context Menu Access

#238391

Has anyone tried USB? I would hook up a keyboard(if it work at all) and try every single key.?

AppleTV Context Menu Access

#238390

Has anyone figured out how to access the context menu (for switching users) on an AppleTV using IR control?? A long press of the Home button on the Siri remote brings up the context menu.

I'm currently using the IR module because I've been having some issues with the Ultamation module losing the connection to the AppleTV and it doesn't appear to be possible.? I have the menu, menu_home, and options commands all configured and none of them bring up the context menu with a short or long press.

Looking at the commands available in the Ultamation module, it looks like they have a context menu command which may do the trick, so perhaps I just need to switch back to the Ultamation module, or use it just for certain commands.

Thanks,

Geoff

Not sure about the 50T specifically but done lots of QEs and they all speak MDC.

I haven't used a QE50T, but it's a commercial model, lists RS232 on the spec sheet, and has a 3.5mm RS232 input that says it supports MDC protocol... seems pretty clear cut to me.

Re: Atlona AT-HDVS-CAM-HDMI

#238385

This camera is a re-branded Minray camera (Chinese). I use the exact same camera branded by another company. I have used hundreds of these. I always Control them with the Vaddio Roboshot module. I use this module with ANY VISCA camera. Works flawlessly.

Tip: if you get the HDBT version of the camera you can connect it directly to a DM input and supply power over HDBT using a Power injector or other POE Power source, or the DM power pack on a DMPS. then you can control the camera over HDBT and only have to ru. One cable to the camera.?
I use them this way everyday.
ping me if you have questions.

Blessings,

Nathan Wells

Hi, I uploaded a Samsung TV IP control using CCD (Crestron certified drivers) example program, hope it helps.

You have to manually load the driver to the processor (Answer ID:?1000527).

You are correct on all counts, I do believe?you need IP reservations in the router for each player as they are only DHCP. I've done 4 of these systems and all but one works very well. The one that doesn't seems to require?a processor?reboot about once a month to keep it working.?

Can you confirm the following?...

At a minimum, It looks like I can set things up with just the MPO, with each player's CRPC signals routed thru the MPO router v4
As long as I 'Fix' the volume on the HEOS player, it will present to the client a similar user interface to an Autonomic MMS experience (less similar to Sonos but sort of also...)

Re: 4 series text console symbol

Thanks.? I emailed IC Realtime and got the newer module 4.0 and it is working.? Still digging into the text console issue I though I found yesterday with another module in my program.

Re: 4 series text console symbol

Edited

We wrote the module.

?

It’s not the symbol, it’s something else we were doing in the module for 2 series, and we’ve set IC Realtime an updated version. Since we wrote it, you can either reach out to us or IC Realtime for the latest version.
