Re: Interlaid alternative

Re: Crestron Certified Drivers - Fire TV 4K CEC - no control
I also switched from a FireTV to a Roku Ultra after changes killed the really nice module from the files section for the FireTV.?? The Crestron certified module works great.? It is fast and reliable.? I couldn't say the same for the Roku modules I tried from the file section.? That being said I am using one of the modules from the file section with the Crestron certified module for direct app selection so, for example, a single button press can navigate to Youtube.?? I remember that there was talk of the Crestron certified module being updated to support app selection but, since what I'm doing is working perfectly, I haven't kept up to see if there is a newer version. Hope this helps Jay

Subject: Re: [crestron] Crestron Certified Drivers - Fire TV 4K CEC - no control If you simply unplugged and plugged the HDMI back into the original FireTV it also may have worked because it should renegotiate the CEC handshake.? I used a FireTV 4K at home from when it was released, until a few weeks ago when I replaced it with a Roku Ultra, and it made me realize how slow and buggy the FireTV products are.? I didn't bother integrating it with Crestron at home, because I don't have DM, and it still had to be rebooted pretty often.? The device isn't even powerful enough to stream HD videos from remote Plex servers. |

Re: Crestron Certified Drivers - Fire TV 4K CEC - no control
Well, the FTV is fine for me for some basic stuff mostly for the kids. Content is included in Amazon Prime and the device is cheap. Never had an issue with lock-ups (also 1st gen FTV). So no need to switch for me. And as long as there are customers who would like to integrate it, it will be a topic to be discussed.

Re: Crestron Certified Drivers - Fire TV 4K CEC - no control
Jnardone_PDX +1 for me as the 4K FireTV stick has been working great over CEC with my 8x8, and I have the same occasional problem with it locking up and needing to be rebooted. Searching the internet, it looks like FireTV's are known to occasionally stop responding over CEC for some reason. I wasn't sold on it being a FireTV issue thinking it might be a Crestron issue but I wound up? confirming its the FireTV by waiting until mine locked up and then moving the HDMI cable over to a 2nd FireTV and Crestron controlled the other unit just fine, which proved it was the FireTV.

Re: Crestron Certified Drivers - Fire TV 4K CEC - no control
CEC control of Fire TV 4K sticks using the "Crestron Certified Drivers Video Server CED v1.1"? has been rock solid for me.? In one configuration I have the FireTV 4K installed in a DMC-4KZ-HD in a DM-MD8x8 and another directly in a DM-MD6x4.? ?I have noticed that if FireTV 4K does stop responding, you need to power cycle the FireTV 4K stick to get it to respond.? I use up, down, left, right, select, exit, home, and menu.

Re: StarLeaf 5250 GTm Codec interfacing
Did you ever get this figured out? We just recently did a deployment of 3 GTm 5250 codecs and are finding that in one room, the module works perfectly and allows the user to place audio and video calls using Teams. In the other 2 rooms, it allows you to make a call, but then immediately hangs up. The code for the other two rooms is identical to that of the first that is 100% working.? |

DM is not always available. But in case it is, that?s could be a good option, thanks.

Re: Videostorm IRUSB
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIf all you¡¯re doing is sending keystrokes why not just use the USB HID port on the DM endpoint? That is one of the few things the port is truly useful for and doesn¡¯t require any extra hardware (save for, of course, the USB cable) ? -- Lincoln King-Cliby, CTS, DMC-E-4K/T/D ?

Re: NVX Basic Config
#crestron
Like Jeremy said, you just send analog values to the NVX Rx's that represent the transmitter index in the subscription list.? The index is similar to an input # on a normal DM at this point.? When I did this not long ago, I made all the subscription lists on the Rx's match, so all the transmitters were the same order, so you can treat the whole NVX system like a normal DM switcher, and the input numbers match across all the Rx's (which they don't have to, but logically, it's easier that way).
The subscription lists are created on the NVX itself, using the web setup interface.? IIRC, you can create the list on the first Rx, and then export that list, and import to other Rx's so you don't have to create them? from scratch on each Rx.? The subscription list was stupid easy to make, as the Rx already detects all the Tx's in the network, and shows them in a list, so all you have to do is add/remove them from the list and setup the order you want them in. -- Jason Mussetter Control Systems Designer Mussetter Programming Services |
