Currently trying to get Chrome Web Server to function. Works in browser but not able to get C# to connect and retrieve and files. I've heard that this can be done with Dropbox.
For instance: I created an XML (probably need to convert to JSON) that has all my channel lineups. Includes channel# and logo URL. Is there a virtual server that I can save this document and reference in C# to retrieve file so I can use the data?
Chrome Web Server points to a folder on your local laptop and I can view this document in a browser using??IP:8080/data/myLineup.xml?

Re: HttpsClient => Content-Length issue
Hi there,
"Now on to the next hurdle: POST request. Based on my tests here, looks like Crestron only sends POST messages with Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded. It seems to be ignoring the fact that I am trying to send data as?Content-Type:?application/json"
You can specify the content type in request header, example code:
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? HttpsClientRequest request = new HttpsClientRequest(); ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? request.RequestType = RequestType.Post; ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? request.Url.Parse(fullUrlString); ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? request.Header.AddHeader(this.credHeader);
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? request.Header.AddHeader(new HttpsHeader("Content-Type", "application/json"));
Cheers,

Hi Troy and MasterHe,

Good points indeed. What you said makes?sense:? a GET request should have no body (if we are to follow the standard).
One of the things that threw me off is the inconsistency on the crestron libraries between http and https. Got me into a rabbit hole.
?
The Http library does add a content-length on a GET request, even though it shouldn't (its a bug! not a feature!)
The Https library does not add a content-length on a GET (It's a feature! Not a bug!) and will even freeze if you try to add one (ok so this one might be a bug! not a feature.)

I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious.

I updated the sample program (on github)? in case you would like to see what I am referring to.

Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron
Same here to beta test¡have shield pro 2019 and 2015 connect to DM¡
We (Chowmain Software) have just released a Crestron Home driver which doesn't require any hardware, connects immediately and provides controls for pretty much every app and has a list of apps (with app launching, favourites, etc).
When it came out we were asked for a SIMPL version as well, which we now how in the pipeline. The module itself isn't too hard, but I still have to write licencing code so I don't have an ETA just yet. If anyone wants to help us beta test though I'd love to get some help. Just let me know and I'll add you to the list.

Re: Mobile Pro G app on iPad - archive download error
Thank you dblpnt. That helps a lot. I didn't know about this bug and it's very possible that special characters are the problem given that this is a french installation which means possible accented letters. Thanks.

Crestron CLW-DIMEX-P questions
Hello,
? ?I have a two-fold question. I have a single button CLW-DIMEX-P installed and my MC3 does see it.
1) How do I raise and lower the light levels using an analog initialize which has a 0% to 100% scale by tens, an analog divmod which takes the result from the analog initialize and makes a quotient (the divisor is set at 1%)
? ? ?I also have an analog equate which takes the quotient from the analog divmod and it makes analog values. I also have a sliding bar under the 0% through 100% buttons.?
2) Or, how can I make lighting presets?
Now, I have to add that my knowlegde of Crestron is limited. I wrote my Crestron program looking at Youtube videos :)?
Thank you for your assistance, dsmith.

Re: Mobile Pro G app on iPad - archive download error
Hi Ingrid,
this sounds like an issue with the layout archive, it's either corrupt or what I've seen in the past also it contains umlauts/special characters in filenames and or page/subpage names which newer versions of the Crestron Mobile Pro app has issues with. The reason why its working on your old iPad is that there the layout was downloaded before this issue was introduced.?
No matter which of the above is true, you need your integrator to have a look at it.

Re: Mobile Pro G app on iPad - archive download error
I'm not sure what you are asking. The app is downloading the files from the server. I don't know how the Mobile Pro G app works but it needs the files on the iPad in order to display the Crestron configuration for the end user. (This is not a cloud server it is a local server.)?
I am hoping I will not have to upgrade the whole back-end just so I can use newer iPads.
The reason they provide the older Mobile Pro G app is supposed to be for the clients which still have older (like 2012) Crestron installation, right?

Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron
Same here, would be happy to help beta test. I use both shield versions all the time and have tried a few options.

Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron
Hi Richard,
would be interested too. I have a Shield 2019 Pro and 2017 in my system. At the moment I am using
CEC from NVX, but of course with no feedback and limited control.
thanks and regards

Are you hosting the iPad file on processor or locally on iPad?

Re: NVidia Shield control from Crestron
I too would like to test for personal use at home.?
Please let me know. - Tray
I'd be very interested to help beta test.
For whatever it's worth, I would only be testing on my system at home; my employer never integrates these things (not very applicable to our clientele). I, on the other hand, use my Shield every day, normally controlled via my Crestron system.?

You can easily use WebAPI or something similar to mock one up. --
