Re: HTML5 and Media Player Object

 
Edited

The VTP MPO uses the CRPC protocol which isn't documented. You technically could create an HTML5 MPO like component, but you would need to reverse engineer the CRPC Protocol. I tried a few years ago to get any type of documentation on it from Crestron and was very annoyed after a few months and gave up.


Re: Multiple projects on TSW panel #tsw

 

I have to use TSW panels. If it was iPad it would be much easier(((

And I agree that the whole idea is very strange... But still.?

As I said I don't think it's good idea to have all these GUIs in one VTPro project. Quite often when I have even two VTPro projects open it unexpectedly closes. I assume because custom themes are heavy.


If I put different .vtz files in /display/? can I specify which one to load?


Re: HTML5 and Media Player Object

 

Hi Nathan,
So does the HTML5 MPO need to be made specific to each device to be controlled vs one MPO that interfaces to whatever device it connects to, that has the proper parameters??
I.e. Can an MPO be built to handle anything that Crestron approves for use with the VTP MPO?
TIA!


Re: Multiple projects on TSW panel #tsw

 

If client is set on using the TSW but have 3 different versions. I'm guessing for different users. You could create an Interface setup page that allowed end-user to select theme and interface configuration. In VTP, I would create a page for each Interface version and have subpages to match. Keep labeling consistent so not to be confusing. Have a Main page (1) for the configuration and based on selection will page flip to appropriate page with associated subpages. It will be confusing unless you stay organized in the VTP and Code. Good luck.


Re: Multiple projects on TSW panel #tsw

 

I think this is a bad idea... but if you really want to you can load projects from console by putting the .vtz file in /display/ then run `projectload`


Re: HTML5 and Media Player Object

 

I've sort of started one, but currently it's only designed for the MMS since that's primarily what I use. It's an open source project and you can view, edit, modify or generally do what ever you'd like with it except blame me ?

Re: Multiple projects on TSW panel #tsw

 

I know you specifically call out using a TSW panel and if you are locked in to that then good luck.

My thought for this application would be to use an Ipad with the CrestronGO app. You simply have all the different projects added in separately and they choose which one they want to use.
Keeps the program side much cleaner and your VT-Pro files all separate.


Re: IR learning issues

 

I usually use simpl to rebuild databases. But sounds like there is a corrupted file in there and is causing toolbox to crash


Re: HTML5 and Media Player Object

 

Yes, I have wondered the same thing.? I think the answer is going to be we have to create our own like we used to do before the media player object.? That's with all the individual joins etc., the major players that I can think of have the individual joins as well as the CRPC.... MMS, Sonos, and Bluesound.? It will be a pain to setup the first time, but if we use the same joins every time we can copy and paste from there.? I'm with you though, we need the MPO

I have some CEN-GW1 in stock and need a CP4-R for a project coming up soon.?

HTML5 and Media Player Object

 

Hi All,
I've been noodling on working with someone to build an HTML5 interface to use instead of VTP.
BUT!!!
For residential (which is the space I live in) the Media Player Object is essentially required.
Obviously we can't count on Crestron's work in any of the HTML5 stuff (as I understand it)
and I haven't heard/seen that anyone has tackled developing an MPO with the SDK.? ?Why is that?
?- Too much work for the ROI?
?- No Confidence in the SDK details or problems/lack of details, etc.
?- No confidence in Crestron maintaining the MPO/SDK

Or something other that I can't think of??
I'm interested in seeing what others' have been thinking about this...
TIA!!


Re: How to monitor multiple applications?

 

Not yet, I've been bugging them for a custom SNMP integration with Crestron...they say they're working on it... Feel free to open a case with Domotz asking for it, the more the merrier!!...:)
You would still need logic to trigger these alerts from Crestron, likely best in an SMW program...

You don't need to go that far, you can return an object that encapsulates the array directly and have a single callback.

Re: IR learning issues

 

Thanks for the reply, Slip.?

my problem is Toolbox shuts down when I rebuild user database. Unfortunately the user database is not ¡°rebuilt¡± thus the new ir device is not seen in my User DB. My User DB has about 200 ir devices.?

Re: How to monitor multiple applications?

 

I¡¯ve been playing with Domotz. It seems like it can give me status of all connected devices which is good, but I don¡¯t think it can give me the current state of each. For instance, it tells me that the garage door opener is ONLINE, but won¡¯t tell me if the garage door is?OPEN or CLOSED.?
Is there a way to get this from Domotz or should I look into something else?

In terms of IP monitoring, I would say Domotz is perfect. some of the devices, if Domotz has specific interface (usually SNMP) will offer even more info.
Also, if you have certain smart PDUs and Switches, Domotz will map things and also give you centralized remote control of ports, etc.
As for Crestron HOME monitoring of scenes, I don't think that you can do this yet, but I know that C + D are working on this for both HOME and SMW


CEN-GW1

 

An extreme long shot I know...I need one of these.??

I have a CP4R (new, in box) that can be part of some sort of trade.

Anyone?


Re: Wake On LAN (WOL) Help!

 
Edited

I've added some example SIMPL programs to the files section too.
/g/crestron/files/WakeOnLAN%20Examples%20-%20UDP%20and%20Crestron%20Certified%20Drivers.zip

Please refer to OLH 4403 - Using Wake On LAN (WOL) to turn on a PC from a Control System.
-----------------
At my house I have a LG 43UK6500AUA with MACADDR A8:23:FE:9B:48:30.
The magic packet for this device would be sent as one full string (via SEND, SIO, etc).
I composed the full string in Notepad and then copy/pasted it into SIMPL.

\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30\xA8\x23\xFE\x9B\x48\x30
-----------------
I've attached 2 SIMPL programs I was using in November 2021 to confirm LG 43UK6500AUA WOL reliability.?

"UDP WOL" utilizes the UDP/IP Communications @ IP ID C4.
Note: Latch <//UDP_ENABLE> high before pulsing <//TV1_WOL_SEND_FULLSTRING> from SIMPL Debugger

"CCD WOL" utilizes Crestron Certified Drivers Display Ethernet v1.18 module and this LG model's driver from .
Note: Pulse <//DriverLoad> before attempting Connect/PowerOn. ?
-----------------
SIMPL UDP WOL was tested on MC3 v1.502.
SIMPL UDP WOL & SIMPL CCD WOL were tested on AV3 v1.8001.
AVF CCD WOL was tested w/ AV Framework v6.15 on DMPS3-4K-150 v1.040.0012.
-----------------
Wireshark should confirm WOL/MagicPacket was successfully sent, as shown here: ?

This is real easy in a SIMPL windows file.
