They need to find a way to test us on advanced concepts without spending 90 days while holding down a full time job.

fully agree...

Maybe I'm weird, but I thought the flex pod thing was fun.


FYI - VTP update to *Fix* Weather App...Again...

 



Should I do a poll to determine if this will finally *Fix* the weather app issues???...

I'm also not sure why they won't give you a syllabus or something similar that gives you the concepts you might be able to study before you start the time.? It's entirely pointless to keep that stuff secret.


Re: Masters Exam 22/23

 

Honestly, I don't know what you guys are whining about...These tests built for real-world projects.
But for those of you who still don't understand the obvious fundamental applications that are clearly defined in these tests, I asked a friend to make a short video to help you all see the application in working form...

What do you mean?? Since one of my programmers attempted the Masters entry level certification test last year, we've had at least a dozen clients come up and ask us to program a dynamic floor plan seating layout on an airplane that has the ability to play blackjack between the different zones.? You're telling me you haven't?

Until they revamp the tests to be indicative of real world scenarios, I will remain at my current level. Which is Cubic Zirconia?

WOL port is arbitrary in most cases, but UDP :9 is most common for the broadcast.
(That's also what I used in the "UDP WOL" SIMPL example program's UDP/IP Communications definition in my previous post.)

Re: REST API for Crestron Virtual Control #simplsharppro

 

The example shown in the API docs is a POST request with multipart form data, so I would start with that:?

I don't see an example of actually uploading a file though, just pointing to an existing one.

[Edited Message Follows]

G'day all,

Has anyone successfully added or modified a program file on a VC4?
I've tried but have been unable to make it work.

I can query the existing programs using the following;
curl -k -X GET "" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: [#####]"

I can't work out how to send the program file. When I try to send the following;
curl -k -X PUT "" -d {"ProgramId":23,"AppFile":"D:\CrestronCode\Code\bin\Debug\test.cpz"} -H "accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: [#####]"

I receive the following message.
{
"Actions": [

"Operation": "set partial",
"Results": [
{
"path": "Device.Programs.ProgramLibrary",
"object": "NULL",
"StatusInfo": "ProgramId: Missing required parameter in the JSON body or the post body or the query string",
"StatusId": 6
}
],
"TargetObject": "ProgramLibrary",

?
Thanks in advance.


Re: LG 43UR640S IP Control

 

Thank you for all your comments and advice. On this particular installation most displays will use Crestron Connected, however, some are utilising a Kramer keypad so I was trying to get my head around the whole WOL thing, and using a platform I am more familiar with seemed the best idea. @?Dave H - Crestron TS?Thank you for your link, I will follow it up. Can anyone confirm the port number I should be using please?

Thanks.
Gary.


Re: AUTH and SSL on 3 Series

 

One of the issues I have seen is only partial downgrades on the processors with control subnet. Pay attention to the puf results chart. In some cases, I have had success downgrading all components by puf-ing twice (same puf file).?


Re: Masters Exam 22/23

 

Where exactly do you see it?


Re: AUTH and SSL on 3 Series

 

Nope, not true, the INIT/RESTORE process forces it in newer firmware¡­even if it had been off since day one.

And the behavior was confirmed by Crestron:

¡±?But I am seeing the same as you're reporting.

After updating FW from v1.503 to v1.8001, FORCED_AUTH_MODE is enabled and AUTH+SSL auto-reenabled w/ the creds that were applied prior to v1.503 AUTH+SSL OFF.¡±


Masters Exam 22/23

 

Has anyone else looked at the new exam?
I am curious if it's the same style/difficulty as the previous 3.
I have the new one sitting in the dashboard and I want to plan my time accordingly.

Last exam I took 3 years ago took me over a couple hundred hours.
Hoping the time commitment toned down a bit!


Re: AUTH and SSL on 3 Series

 

I think technically if you don't add AUTH to the processors, you'll be fine. But...


Re: CP4 with TPS-4L on Windows 11

 

I'm sure that you can still config/compile in VTP.? I never use the transfer box directly in VTP or SMW (Just prefer using TBx...sort of...)
Are the 4L's communicating with Cresnet or Network? if Cresnet, I wonder if it might just be that the 4-series doesn't like loading Cresnet TPs directly??
If you can go IP, I'm sure that would still work...
