Re: Prowl for Crestron 3 Series is posted!

 

That's a good question for Andrew, but I think it's flexible and can be used many ways. I think at masters, they said the entire program "could" be done in SIMPL#, but that may have changed...

Just FYI. Andrew Culver was nice enough to post a SIMPL# module on github to show this working. I spent a few hours testing his module, expanding it and writing a help file. No knowledge of SIMPL# is required to make this work, so no fear! The module is small and easy to use.

Go to and follow the directions. You'll be pushing notifications to any app at in no time.

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.

Correct. There is (are?) some element(s) required by the 3-series flavor of Windows OS that only exists in 2008, if I recall correctly...

Circular D-pad? Non-Core3

jmacd2918
 

I'm trying to figure out the best way to use a circular d-pad in a non-core3 system. Think something like what's on a Roku remote:


I can build the graphics no problem, it's a matter of layout in Vision Tools.

This is being done for both aesthetics and to fit better on the page, so the issue of button overlap is really what I'm trying to overcome, especially since it's a curved graphic (button to the user) in a rectangular button (non-existent from the user point of view).

Is there a good way to do this?
Use blank buttons or borders to mask areas where there is overlap? Seems like a major kludge, but it should work. I'm hoping I'm just overlooking a better way to do this.

Thanks for any input.

Re: Series 3 processors

Hardest part is making sure you don't mistakenly try using the same com port or IPID between two programs. (With the obvious exception that 127.0.0.2 EISCs *must* share the same IPID if you're trying to pass signals between two programs)

Re: Another samsung ex-link question

 

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.

Thanks to Chip, BTW, who got me started with a protocol doc and suggestions when they were hard to come by!!

HTH,

Re: New iOS App?

 

I have a simple scrolling list test program that has one list that is programatically populated and It seems to work as well as the C3-xPanel, which is the fastest C3 device. In a related note this simple test shows that the 9L and the 4SMD panels CANNOT run C3UI - You can load it but no one will want to use it...

My quick test with the APP did bring up one issue that I haven't had time to T/S yet - I set the project for Landscape, It looks right in VTPro, the Preview showed it as landscape, BUT when I actually launched it, it was in Portrait mode (and truncated as you'd expect).

Anyone seen this?

--- In Crestron@..., John Pavlik <jpavlik@...> wrote:

Scrolling lists are *agonizingly* slow and clunky, on a par if not worse than the lag on TSW's
I'm surprised to hear that - in general the performance I thought was much better. Perhaps if you wouldn't mind sending me a project to exhibit this. Is this a general consensus on this group?

You're locked into one orientation when you create the project, portrait or landscape, no dual orientation mode currently
Rotation is coming this summer.

The built-in demo is laughable
Actually, we had a much nicer demo but due to some "guidelines" we had to swap it out. A better demo will be added next week.

On the pricing, the Microsoft comparison is a good one. They were dumbfounded when I told them we didn't charge for firmware updates or development tools! I do wish we had better options to get a version out to those of you actually developing the interfaces but the App Store can be quite limiting.

Re: The extended ASCII codes in 3-series

Kool-Aid Drinker
 

If you look at the full headers or "source" of a 2-series email,
you'll see a Content-type: header with a specific char set.

Compare 3-series.

With no char set designated, a 3-series email is at the mercy of email
reading program, OS internationalization, etc. Results WILL vary.

Complain to True Blue. As the basis of the email sender, they used a
free C# library that was known to have issues, but didn't apply any of
the readily available fixes.

Re: Mobile Pro on iPhone 5

Andy
 

The graphics on Crestron's page for the new app appear (I haven't measured) to be the aspect of an iPhone 5. Plus the demo pages in the app fit my iPhone 5 whereas the demo on the old app does not. There's also a link to the GUI resource center that implies graphics available that don't seem to exist. With all of this one would be led to believe that they are at least thinking about it. But, who knows??
