Re: Onsite HELP with Panasonic AW-HE50SN

 

You have to send to TCP/IP client something like this:

GET /cgi-bin/aw_cam?cmd=HZT&res=1 HTTP/1.1\nHost:
192.168.0.6\n\n

Just read a post from Javier carefully...

Do you need to login to camera when you open the browser first time? If the answer is Yes, you have to add to headers an authorization - it is this part from Javier's headers: "Authorization: Basic YWRtaW4xOnBhbmFzb25pYw==" - of course this authorization string will not work for you.
This is one of the reasons You need to see what exactly is send by your browser to the camera. So it's time to run "Developer Tools" (Chrome) or HTTP HEADERS (Firefox) as has been said.

The TCPIP client is set to the proper address, it is showing connected in debugger. But my commands don't seem to get thru.
Here is a sample command for the camera:

In Firefox you have an HTTP HEADERS extension
In Chrome you have Developer Tools to inspect, under NETWORK, directly the HTTP queries. All you have to do is see what is the "command" sent from your browser to perform the desired action (Ex. Zoom, Pan, etc..) and copy that HTTP HEADER query, full to an SIO connected to the TCP/IP ts$.

If the HTTP HEADER requires more than one line (almost always) just copy all the lines in a single one and add "&#92;n" to each part that needs to be a different line.

For example, to turn on a Projector that has IP capabilities, I used:
"GET /cgi-bin/proj_ctl.cgi?key=video&lang=e&osd=on HTTP/1.1&#92;nHost: 10.1.133.21&#92;nConnection: keep-alive&#92;nAuthorization: Basic YWRtaW4xOnBhbmFzb25pYw==&#92;n&#92;n"

This is a real example, try experimenting with Firefox extensions or Chrome developer tools to capture what string triggers which action.

iPad and Animations and other questions..

 

Hey Guys, Am I missing something or is there not a way to do a page flip animation with the Crestron Mobile - or Mobile Pro? (slide in/out left right, fold in half vertical/horizontal, book page turn, zoom in/out from middle, you know, all the transitions we have come to know and love on the iphone. I have some projects that a bare minimum would look really good with some animations. Or better yet expanded gesture control

My personal cool thought - have a page flip effect like when changing screens on the iphone/ipad (left/Right gesture) that as you flips changes pages/sub pages, and when the user stops on a particular page, it activates/routes the video to the display.

Anyways, if I am missing something, please let me know.

Also, does anyone know if there is a way to access the built in keyboard, rather than having to create one myself. I would love to Skin an P-IpodV Doc search page to look like you were browsing your own iDevice.

Thanks for the help!!

Yes! I actually had an issue after copying some programming from one keypad button to another. After I changed the logic, it would still control the lighting as programmed on the first one, whatever I did (removed the keypad from SB completely and reprogrammed).
What I ended up doing was rebuilding the complete project... for one button. Yeah, I know, I should have backed up, but for one simple copy-paste action?

Stop. Your only choices (at the moment) are to create your programs in SIMPL, or abandon the MC3 and go back to a 2 Series processor.

Re: Controllable Sonos style iTunes media player

 

Autonomic is the best bet and my preferred player as it's self contained.

If you have a PC or Mac that is always on and managing the iTunes, you could use any of the Logitech Squeezeboxes in their varied flavors, it just requires that you have the Squeezebox server running either on a dedicated rig, or a NAS.

Re: Using iTunes Match to sync iPod when docked

 

I wanted to follow-up on this topic and share a little snag I ran into with this approach...

The CEN-IDOC or CEN-ISERVER will not "see" the music as being on the iPod until it has been downloaded.

So, after enabling iTunes Match on a clean iPod you will see the entire library show up on the iPod if you are manipulating it manually, and the songs will all have the download button next to them, as Dustin described. If you dock that iPod into the Crestron dock, and browse for music through the Crestron interface, you will not see any content available.

If you take it off the dock and start a song playing manually, and let that song download to the device, then dock it again, you will see that one song only now through the Crestron interface.

Needless to say, this is not very useful from our point of view.

If you *purchase* new music through iTunes, and have music downloads enabled on the iPod, it should actually download the new content completely and be available through the dock, but I haven't tested this myself.

I also haven't tested what happens when you have a list of songs from an album that is in the process of downloading to the device being displayed on the Crestron interface. Does it shift the lines down to make room for the new songs, or does the Crestron interface now out of sync with what's on the actual device? I guess the same is true if you start messing with playlists in iTunes, will the changes be properly displayed on the Crestron interface, or do you have to go back to the Home menu and drill in again before it sees the updated list of songs/playlists.

Oh, and one more thing I learned the hard way:

If you activate iTunes Match for an iOS device under an iTunes account, that device is locked to that iTunes Match account for 90 days. Even if you wipe the iOS device back to factory defaults, the association between the device and the iTunes Match account exists on Apple's servers still, and it won't let you log into iTunes Match with a different account.

That's the last time I use my own account for testing iTunes Match on a new iPod that was purchased for the client...

--- In Crestron@..., "Dustin" <dustin@...> wrote:

You do not have to trigger the download with the download button. When you select a song that has not yet been downloaded to an iTunes match device, it buffers slightly, then begins playing. It then downloads completely during playback and is saved on the device. Even if you skip the song, once the download starts, it will finish.

The downside of this is that in a large, manually managed music collection, the device can fill up quickly. Also, if there are lots of songs added at one time, the delay in playback and download accumulates if you get going too fast with it. If you skip thru 15 songs that are all new looking for "that one you can't remember the title of", you now have 15 downloads in progress in the background. Each one will take a little longer to start playing because the buffer speed is slower. It'll speed back up as they complete, but in a situation where you can't see the download status, it might seem like it's stuck or broken.

I use the method for myself, but haven't yet deployed it for a customer. I do have issues with match on my computers - frequently prompting me to sign out and sign back in because "match service encountered an error", however the idevices have never missed a beat.

I'm hoping that the iPod will stay "awake" and connected over wifi to be able to have new purchases and playlists pushed automatically from iTunes, instead of relying on Crestron Sync, which is still a multi-step, user-initiated process (and buggy on a Mac).

Is there a way to make it truly automatic so that there aren't any pop-up messages the user has to click "OK" to get past, etc?

Re: Controllable Sonos style iTunes media player

 

Will the MMS-2 see the new content "as soon as they add an audio file in iTunes by any method?" Or do you have to tell the MMS-2 to re-index the library before it will see the new content?

Just as an FYI, you have to re-index the library on the Sonos before it will see the new content as well. This can be triggered manually through the Sonos interface, or can be setup to happen on a fixed schedule.
