Re: Defaulting XPanel to start as "Always on Top"

 

I don't think it's possible using just VTPro, but I got it working using the Nircmd utility and a batch file. Bit hacky but if you want to know how let me know!!


Re: Teamviewer and SIMPL Debugger

 

The best remote program I have used is Jump Desktop. It allows you to access a PC with user credentials from the machine so that you have admin rights or request access if you¡¯re not an actual user . The only thing it does not have is file transfer but it runs circles around team viewer, especially for lower bandwidth connections.


Re: VC4 test environment suggestions

 

There is also a PAM/Hardening script somewhere on crestron help page for future so you don't have to do all the steps. Just seach PAM VC4 or Authenticate With PAM


Re: Defaulting XPanel to start as "Always on Top"

 

I don¡¯t recall ever seeing an option for this within VT-Pro but it¡¯s possible (only just!) that this could be something you could set within the ¡°compiled¡± XPanel file, although it would probably be overwritten if you recompiled the project. I¡¯ll have a poke around in the morning and let you know if I find a possible solution¡­..


Re: Sonos Soundbar issues

 

I don¡¯t have much experience with Sonos integration but it¡¯s clear from the logs that the Simpl# is having a real problem processing the Json when events are coming in from the Sonos, and it seems mainly down the ¡°great room¡±. It looks like the Simpl# is trying to deserialise a Json array that doesn¡¯t exist (or is malformed) which leads me to believe it may be something to do with the grouping. Can¡¯t really help more than that except to say something is going horribly wrong with the deserialisation when the Sonos sends back events. Sorry not much help really¡­.

Edited

I was not using HTTPS, thank you for the direction. I now have the functionality expected, after using https and then logging in with the credentials. Appreciate it.


Re: Crestron Home (MC4-R) NVX Discovery issue (VLAN)

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

What I had to do on a system was go to the Pair Devices tab ? Ethernet and Wi-Fi ? down the bottom click on the Discoverable Addresses and enter in the Start Address for the VLAN the NVX and whatever other devices you want to control is sitting on.? After that I was able to find all necessary gear.

Subject: [crestron] Crestron Home (MC4-R) NVX Discovery issue (VLAN)

?

I have an existing working Crestron system (non-CH) with NVX on its own VLAN and everything is working on the NVX with control. I am migrating to CH and the MC4-R is located on the core network (Ubiquiti). When trying to discover the NVX, the processor does not discover any of the NVX devices.?

My current processor is also on the same core (Ubiquiti) network and can reach the NVX to control the routing so I know the communications between networks are working.

Any thoughts on how to discover the NVX?

Thanks
Itai

After you hardened the server are you accessing the web gui through https instead of http and it should ask for username and password to login.

My issue now is that My "Add Room" button is greyed out when I access the VC4 via the webgui. The device info screen also shows all fields blank.?

I followed all the steps and then hardened the server so not clear what is going on. It seems to be a licensing issue perhaps but I don't see any steps I need to take as all documentation implies it will just work after install. Anyone know what I am missing here?

MC3 Firmware

 

Just thought this was pretty funny.? Updating firmware on an MC3 (I know, yikes) so went to the mothership site to download the most recent version.

Search:? "MC3".? No results found for MC3.

Okay.? Search:? "MC3" Enter.? Results 234.

Page 6.? Page 6 is where the MC3 is.? Behind 6 pages of lighting keypads and other knick knacks.

They are literally so embarrassed of this product they buried it in the search.? Not that I really blame em.? :D


Defaulting XPanel to start as "Always on Top"

 

Currently upon every launch, you have to go to the menu bar and reselect this option. Is there a way to default to this every time?


Re: Sonos Soundbar issues

 

I found the log files.? I have attached them here for reference.


This program restarts itself every night at midnight.


Sonos Soundbar issues

 

Recently had to upgrade the modules for the Sonos in a program that stopped working completely.
I am using the Sonos System 3.1.1, Sonos Device Module 3.2.0, and the Sonos Grouping Module 3.1.1
I show that the system initializes, but never goes online using debugger.? Is there a better way to see exactly what is going on with the Sonos System Module?
I have enabled debug mode on the Sonos System 3.1.1 module, but the output of debugger does not change, and the help on the module does not say where the?
debug mode writes its log.?


Re: Teamviewer and SIMPL Debugger

 

Might I suggest DWService.net as a suitable replacement?

I've been using it for several years and I'll NEVER go back to TeamViewer or similar.

I'll say that the UI is pretty spartan, by comparison, but it works and works well once you "get it" and there isn't much to "get".

Give it a shot and if you have any questions, give me a shout.


Re: VC4 test environment suggestions

 

you will need to make sure you modify the snmpd.conf file with the root pw of you set up when you installed AlmaLinux.

I run it on a VM. I have a clone of the AlamaLinux VM without VC4 installed then another version where I install VC4 fresh. It is kind of a pain in the ass but when the trial runs out i just delete the VM and clone the clone and do a fresh install. Keeps me sharp on Linux.?

We aren't using VC4 much now since hardware processors are more readily available but I have a few clients who have their one hardware and we have stood up VC4 across their different offices nationwide.


Re: D3 Data files.

 

Holiday lighting schedule issues from clients are killing my weekend.? Trying to figure out who at Crestron I need to send my bill to.
In meantime, my personal X10 system circa 1990 is hitting nice every time.

Hi Mark,

Not sure if you've already tried this but...

A myCrestron.com?DNS registration is required to view the camera outside of the home.

BTW, I'm guessing enough people complained about the new TV interface. They've kept the ability to connect with the traditional method. I'm not sure why people think changing stuff up all the time is a good thing. It's hard enough to get folks familiar with software and feature sets as it is, let alone when you throw a bunch of changes into the mix. Maybe Microsoft could take a hint.
"They need their mommies to be proud of them"...

The final straw in getting rid of TV was that they told me that the old interface will be deprecated in the next 3-6 months or so...we will see...

+1 for splashtop, we ditched TV almost 5 yrs ago and never looked back..
