Am I mussing something somewhere? I have added the weather module into SB but I don't get any pages. I click on the info for the module and it states This module works in conjunction with the "Crestron Weather Touch Panel Interface." Where do I find this interface? I have looked all over the crestron site as well as re-built and added tp to the program with still no luck.
Thanks

Ok, so has anyone tried the new SB release since yesterday...
I just added the new Crestron Weather device to my AMP-AIP system at home to test the intended functionality and translate it to a SIMPL system I'm currently programming.
When I read the release notes, I was skeptical at best....
My average build time for my home system was about 12 minutes.
I just added another MLX-2 to the program as well as the weather module and a few other small changes.
Interface build time - about the same Program generation - 2:33!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Compile time - about the same
On the Finish tab, there are not options to simply "update system" which according to the release notes can update portions of the program without rebuilding in it's entirety.
This is revolutionary.... all my complaining was worth it LOL!

Re: Crestron Mobile Pro G - Designing in Landscape
I wish Crestron would come out with an update to designing for iPad in VTPROe... I feel like it's not even worth messing with until I can start my design in landscape mode. I don't really trust or want to get involved with CommandFusion, although I hear it works well.
To make me happy all they would need to do is let me chose to make pages in landscape, portrait, or both, and lock the orientation if I'm only using one of them.

Re: TV One Option connection
My application is to cross scale between analog rgbhv and SDI inputs to analog rgbhv and SDI outputs. I pulled the products and hooked them up this morning (controlling via tcp/ip). The switching worked just fine, the S2 and C2 product switches automatically.
I'll post back about the quality when the project is complete.

This is incredibly helpful. Moving forward I'll be tying each program to a MAC address, and of course updating my contract. I also like the idea of a support/modification retainer, which I hadn't considered. I'll keep you posted with developments. Thanks everybody.

What bothers me is when a sales guy tells me a client is asking for their code and doesn't even ask why and expects me to just send it. We always do, but at least ask. If a client is asking for code to replicate a system with another vendor, maybe its better they're gone anyway.

I would view the replication of the system as falling outside of the license. Whether or not A) I'd ever find out and B) be in a position to and/or want to do anything about it is another matter.

Gentlemen
I recently began working with a commercial dealer programming small conference rooms (Picture an MPS-M5, DVD, PC input, and display - very small). They took my advice and used a cookie cutter approach for future conference rooms.soon one room turned into sixteen, and it looks like there may eventually end up being over a hundred implementations.
It has always been my policy (a policy held by many of you) that after final payment, the code belongs to the dealer. I've just never had a dealer plan to use one small piece of code in possibly hundreds of instances. I've sold modules on a per use basis, but (alas) none have been so wildly successful as to warrant a licensing policy. Thusly: Do any of you license on a per use basis? One well worded sentence added to my contract could mean a ridiculous difference in income from this dealer. That is, if I can get my head around the ethical issues (if there are any).

Secondly, I know about anchors but all that gives me is the protrait size on a landscape page so I have unused space all over the place.
From what I am hearing it looks like I am boned and need to develop it in portrait and have excess space on the sides....

A bad dynamic graphic serial path. I was doing a project with an Axis Video server. On one page of my iPad I used the internal IP address of the Axis and I was able to view the MJPEG stream. However on a second page I used the WAN address and port with a supposedly proper port forwarded router but the app crashed right away. It stayed open but no button presses worked. Had to close the app and relaunch and avoid that page.
I called TB with some general iPad questions at the time and mentioned this and the resident iPad guru acknowledged the behavior saying it was the bad dynamic graphic serial path. TMI? Anyway, HTH/

So this is the first iPad I've used and until today everything was going great. I've been working with this control system for a couple days and everything was fine. I was only making minor changes and little things that were missed so nothing really changed. Now Mobile Pro G seems to keep locking up.
Sometimes as soon as the flash page loads its already locked and nothing happens. The time at the top of the screen doesnt change or anything. When it doesnt lock up from the start, it always locks up when you press the 3rd item on a list control from the main page. Once that is pressed it becomes unresponsive, server one disconnects, than a minute or two later it connects to server 2. The panel than flashes with the right sub pages and immedietly goes to "Updating". You can see the updates sent from the processor in the debugger and 2 seconds later server 2 disconnects...the panel gets stuck on "Updating" and eventually connects to server 1 a few minutes later back and forth until you quit the app and restart the program.
I tried deleting the list control and making a new one. It worked for a few minutes after the new upload but now the same problem is occuring. Any help would be appreciated! It's extremely frustrating because it was working fine the last few days and now that I'm 99% done it's all going to hell.
Thanks, Jacob
