Re: FireTV Control

 

Thanks guys. I will try CEC.


Re: Looking for RS-232 Commands for TV LG OLED C8: Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.

 

Thanks @dblpnt; I will give this a shot.Can I simply install the older version 'on top' of the newer or is an uninstall of the newer one needed first?


Re: FireTV Control

 

I 2nd the vote for CEC in DM environments.? I have found FireTV CEC control solid after some earlier challenges? over the past few yearswith hangs with multiple commands being sent too often.


Re: Q-Sys Gain Block Metadata

 

If I had to guess, those modules probably use the position value to generate feedback. That will always be 0.0-1.0 regardless of what the actual gain range is set to. I'm not aware of a way to get the min/max values on the standard gain block. If I have a scripting license, I have a custom gain block I use for this that has min/max controls available at run time in the block. They can be assigned named controls and read that way if needed.

QR code to open XPanel

 

With the campus on the verge of starting to re-open after being closed for the pandemic, we were thinking of ways to keep people safe.? Touch panels in the classrooms will be a major issue.

So, I was wondering, is there a way to create a QR code for each individual classroom that will open an XPanel on an individual's person device to control the classroom?? We have about 250 smart classrooms.

I'm assuming this is doable, but is it realistic. I'm a solid middle of the road Crestron programmer.??

+1 olivier_robert for the status
Also, a quick fix for NetFlix is: "Home" then "Right Arrow".? For Prime: "Home" then "Right Arrow" then "Right Arrow".? This works for my B8.

Thanks a lot @nathan

Can you please elaborate on having "variable lists and buttons"??

My main concern is that there's very intricate logic driving the Room Selection subpages and whatnot, so we wouldn't want users experiencing changes in their app being triggered by other users.

Thanks @johnmax

That's what first ocurred to me, having several instances of the Crestron App being driven by separate logic for each one.


Re: FireTV Control

 

There are a few different IR receivers that work with it, I use this one at home,



I have a driver for it, no need to buy the remote, let me know if you need it.

I have a FireTV stick in the back of a DM 8x8. I control it using the Crestron "Generic CEC Source Control" module.

It took a bit of trial and error to get the Address parameter correct. For me it was "8 - Playback Device 2".

Best practices for managing multiple users using Crestron App #s #bestpractices #crestron #crestronapp

 

Good morning guys, I hope you are keeping safe!

I'm currently working a project that has a very intricate GUI design (Crestron App) being driven by SIMPL Windows logic. But it just occurred to me that all of the users using that same Crestron App would have their GUI change pages and subpages based on other people's actions (if being used at the same time of course).

So what's the best practice there? have 1 Crestron App declared on SIMPL Windows for each Crestron App user and have separate logic driving that? What's the proper solution to this?

How many Web Pages projects can a 3 series processor handle? What about the small ones like the RMC3?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Q-Sys Gain Block Metadata

 

Does anyone know how the Appllication Market Q-Sys modules are able to scale volume feedback based on the max & min levels set in Q-Sys Designer?
I don't get any response when requesting metadata (cgm). Q-Sys tech support says there is no metadata for the gain block, which surprises me. Is there
a way to get the max & min levels?


Re: Looking for RS-232 Commands for TV LG OLED C8: Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.

 

Hello,

I can't help you for Netflix and other high level services. Maybe you can try??there are extra commands listed and one of those may work, as there is a Netflix direct access touch on new LG remotes.
For RS232 control, you can get more in term of feedback:
- the acknowledgement gives you the real value in the data fiels;
- you can ask for status, for most of the commands, by using FF as data in the command. this is explained on page 3 in your documentation "Transmit 'FF' data to read status of command", you get the feedback in the DATA field of the acknowledgement.

Dear Dean,

Thank you. The module working perfectly. The same functionality I was looking for.
