Re: OneDrive and Crestron Software/projects
I've been using OneDrive for my Crestron projects (as well as most files) for the last several years and haven't had an issue yet, even working the project and compiling live, however YMMV. Only issue I have is like above: close up too fast without allowing enough time to sync. But I normally open up my laptop once back in the office so it normally syncs up before I need to access it again anyways.

Re: OneDrive and Crestron Software/projects
I use OneDrive without pausing it and haven't had compiler issues in SIMPL, SIMPL+, VTP, VS 2008 and VS2002 for more than 2 years now.
?
I use folder symbolic links to reference the working SMW, VTP, etc. files. (with the /D and /J option). The folder link will look like a shortcut but it's not.
This also lets me work around the path file length limits.
This also lets me work without transferring back and forth between a workspace folder and a OneDrive folder.
The only program that doesn't work with symbolic links correctly is Construct, as somewhere in the compiler it will find the actual path (probably some kind of webpack compiler thing). But Construct works on long path names so it's not so much an issue aside from the quirks that are Construct.
?
So if the OneDrive folder is C:\user\OneDrive\...\Projects\...\ProjectName
I have a symbolic link that shortens it to C:\Projects\...\ProjectName
?
I would then open the SMW files using the shortened path.
This lets OneDrive passively work in the background instead of scanning active applications and file changes. It's a slower sync but works nicely for user libs as well.
I've set my UsrSplus, UsrMacro, and UsrDb folders SIMPL uses as symbolic links pointing to OneDrive folders so that my libs are also sync'ed.
?
My current setup for Simpl folder is
C:\usrsplus
C:\usrmacro
C:\usrdb
?
Here's a link and more info on symbolic links

Touch Activity, Screen Saver or Sleep/Wake Manager
Is it possible to get feedback on the sleep/wake state of the panel, force Touch Activity_fb high or know if the screensaver is running?
This is an old "issue" for me, but when I use the Touch Activity_Fb to lock a panel it gets out of sync if I use the same IPID with another panel.
For example, when you do a local run as panel with the same ID for testing or troubleshooting.
?
I was hoping I could either force activity in the panel or get feedback from the panel but I haven't found a way to do either.
?
Thank you.

Please tell how you got this to work with the posted module??
?
Thanks,?

I cannot get this to work either. The module 'EventSchduler 2 v1.2.0(cm)' has no MSP related to file path serial input so the S+ tries to open a path called '*'.?
I opened the CMC module and exposed the 'Read_Error' and 'Write_Error' S+ outputs. Also added the aforementioned MSP.??
?
Can now get the file to read without error. However, the 6 events are not actually read.?
I did add the \x0d\x0a to the end of each line in the text file since the S+ is using that as end of line delimiter. (I know, I should? not need to do this. Just grabbing at straws since every part of this has failed)?
?
Looks like the file operation will start but the file data is not actually read into the scheduler.?
My schedule.dat contains the following:?
?
1,Wake Up,0,450,-XXXXX-,XXXXXXXXXXXX,0\x0D\x0A
2,Goodnight,1,660,-XXXXX-,XXXXXXXXXXXX,0\x0D\x0A
3,Sprinklers On,3,240,-X-X-X-,---XXXXXX---,0\x0D\x0A
4,Sprinklers Off,3,280,-X-X-X-,---XXXXXX---,0\x0D\x0A
5,Vacation,1,360,XXXXXXX,XXXXXXXXXXXX,1,R\x0D\x0A
6,Maintenance,0,180,------X,XXXXXXXXXXXX,0,H\x0D\x0A
?
?
Has anyone been able to get this to work? I am behind the 8 ball and do not have time to write a scheduler from scratch.?
?
Thanks for any insight on this.?

Does 2 Series even support AV Framework?? I thought that was a 3 Series and later thing.

Re: OneDrive and Crestron Software/projects
I've actually had problems when compiling a SIMPL program while live on OneDrive. I've done a couple of things to avoid any issues (which, btw, I don't fully understand, but accept). To begin with, I used to simply pause syncing while actively working on (and conceivably compiling multiple times). The danger for me is that I don't do Crestron stuff everyday, and it's easy to forget to turn something off when I'm otherwise blissfully unaware that it's on.
?
I came up with another solution; I created a "temporary workspace" folder on my C: drive, which is not a part of what OneDrive syncs. I move my project/program folder to this drive while I'm working on it, then move it back to a sync'd folder when I'm finished. This has an added benefit: I used to get warnings from SIMPL and VTP that my file names were too long - which is not a surprise, considering the levels of folders potentially involved, but by putting programs and VTP projects on the C: drive while working and compiling, the names are significantly shorter.

Re: OneDrive and Crestron Software/projects
Hi Thorsten,
That's great news!
Just to clarify regarding closing your LT 'too fast' when on site, I assume that if you boot up your LT once you get back to your office and let it update, then your DT will have access to the changes, is that correct??
?
I too have a problem with moving too fast!!...haha!

Re: DMPS-300-C Basic Program....
I recommend to use AVF if what you want is something already done and kind of plug and play functionality nico ?

Re: OneDrive and Crestron Software/projects
Hi, i?m doing exactly that with my desktop and my laptop for a couple of years now. I do the main development work on my fast desktop with multiple screens and I use my laptop being on site. All the files are in the OneDrive cloud and replicated locally to both the desktop and laptop. This works fairly well if you allow the time for the update to/from the cloud when files change. The main reason i?m running into issues is when I did updates on-site and then packing up the laptop without letting it do the updates to the cloud and then opening the project at the desktop and wondering what happened to the updates I did¡ ? HTH, Thorsten ? ? I'm setting up a new desktop and laptop, and am planning to reconfigure how I deal with file structure and backup. I'm leaning toward OneDrive, but know that I need to do work on files that are locally sourced vs in the cloud. My thought is that both my DT and LT will have all the files primarily local, and just push changes to the cloud so that the other machine will have any updated files when it needs them. 1. What are your experiences or suggestions regarding this approach with OneDrive 2. Any other non-tweeky solutions that others are using for this

Re: NVX Frame Rate Matching
I don¡¯t think there is any option to disable scaling from my recollection. ?
The ironic thing is that the cheaper decoders eg d30 don¡¯t have a scaler in built and so they output the original without needing any automation to make it match. ?

Re: NVX Frame Rate Matching
Thank you this is very helpful.? I am using Crestron Home for my setup but do have a 3-series processor integrated for some of the issues that arise within home.? I was able to program a solution here that seems to be working well and solving the issue.? Wish I would have posted yesterday as I ran around trying to make sure there weren't EDID issues in the chain/etc...

Re: NVX Frame Rate Matching
As far as I know with the more advanced decoders ( eg the 300 series ) frame rate matching is not done automatically. ? It¡¯s a real pain imho. ?I think that their reasoning is that crestron want the output to be continuous without all the blanking
out that occurs with frame rate changes etc. ?but it leads to terrible jitter so I hate it?
I have setup automation within crestron to active frame rate matching. ?It¡¯s not hard. ?The source always reports its input frame rate. It¡¯s on of the extensions. ?I simply forward that to the framerate setting of the output nvx unit. ?Simple.
?But it does cause a resync of hdmi each time it changes. ??
The other thing that annoys me is that the lack of 23.98 and 59.94 frame rates. So I have to use 24p for 23.98 sources. ?Even the judder on the 23.98 to 24p frame rates conversion annoys me. ? I wish they would include all the fractional frame
rates because so many blu rays etc are 23.98?

Working
with a NVX setup and using Kaleidescape as a source. The encoder is receiving the proper feed whether it be 24P/60P depending on the source. On the decoder side, if I look into the stream being received I can see I am getting the proper frame rate (4K24P as
an example) but it appears everything is converting to 4K60. If I manually choose the output resolution on the web GUI resolution I can get it to 24P as an example, but is there a setting that would make this automatic? Ideally I wouldn¡¯t be converting frame
rates or color space and just passing things directly from the encoder to the decoder but I am not sure how to have that done automatically.? Resolution is currently set to Auto on the output section of the web GUI.
