Re: NVX black screen

 

Could?it be an HDCP handshake issue?

Hi all,

I am playing with a NVX point to point for my JVC X550R projector at my own home. There is also a Marantz AV7705 preamp in the chain.

I have a NVX-350 feeding a NVX D30 over a maybe 40ft Cat6. The cat6 is feed from port 1 of the 350 and runs to the only cat input of the D30. At 1080p things are fine. But as soon as I try 4k60 I just get a black screen o the projector.

I have updated all firmware for AVP, checked projector is latest. updated both NVX units.

I have bought new HDMI cables that are suppose to be ultra high speed. I can't get the nvm to give my video.

I tried video from Appletv 4k and from Xbox series X. I moved the xbox to below the projector and plugged it in and I had HDR and all (it was dark but I could work with that).


Any ideas? I have tried all kinds of settings on both NVX (bitrate, edid [even got edid from JVC and tried that).

Thank you

Re: Curl formatting

 

I've been using Troy Garner's excellent HTTPS C# module as essentially a TCP/IP client and it has been a lifesaver. ?This may help you too!

Re: Point in the right direction

 

I have several S# modules that pull info in from XML. You can structure an XML file so that it is editable in Excel. It just requires training everyone who will be editing the file on how to properly save as .xml (Excel will want you to save in their format). I'm doing this in S#, but theoretically you could do the same with Simpl+.?


Re: strange behaviour with latest voice modules & MC3 & Home Elements

 

I didn't even know what Home Elements was until I looked on Crestron's Website and saw some vague announcement about it back in 2015 with the link to it being broken.? So I am guessing it is some previous generation of Crestron Wizards.? Since you said you are looking for a guess, my guess is Home Elements is incompatible with newer firmware/software.? At least I have seen this with many older systems (usually programmed by someone else).? For those systems I have to make sure I don't update the Crestron processor firmware and then I have to run a Windows7 VM running the same software as the system was originally programmed with.? I have seen newer Crestron firmware and/or newer Crestron software break many older systems.

So what I would do is downgrade my Crestron processor firmware to a version back in 2015, do and initialize/restore to restore to factory defaults, and then use all the same versions of software that was used when the system was originally compiled.

But it may be that Crestron has updated their cloud servers and it is no longer compatible with Home Elements.? To confirm that, you could make a test SIMPL program and see if Alexa will connect to it.?


Re: Crestron with a Sonos system with both S1 and S2

 

Thanks for the heads up.? At first I thought it was the same issue has everybody else has been having with the Sonos module not working.? That was until I looked in CP3 the error log and discovered the Crestron Sonos module was connecting to the S2 Arc speaker instead.

Re: Wattstopper / Legrand LMDI-100 Module #lighting

 

Thank you.




Does that seem like the correct protocol? Looks pretty straightforward to throw together a S+ Module based on what I'm seeing.?

(For some reason, I thought this was supposedly difficult to get ahold of, but maybe I'm confusing it with Lutron.)


Re: DMPS3-4K-350 FTP STUPID SLOW!!!

 

I used FileZilla and it took 2.5 hrs. I'm going to test? FZ, FileManager, and PS Script from on site windows server (Fusion) to the processor and see which one is the fastest.?

Re: Crestron with a Sonos system with both S1 and S2

 

I have always wondered why sometimes a processor connects to another Sonos unit in the household other than the one that's in the player name parameter in the module in Simpl. I often see in the error log in my showroom that it has connected to a player that does not match the Simpl name, but is part of our CH demo system (at least the control doesn't work when that happens since it is not the right player). Yes they are on the same network, but what is the point of the name parameter when its connecting to a completely different player??

Re: Point in the right direction

I think this will be very difficult. Obviously the Microsoft DLLs that manage Excel are out of the question on a Crestron processor. You could look at open source solutions for reading Excel spreadsheets (there are many) but you will have to convert them to SIMPL# which would be a huge body of work.?

It might be that Neil Colvin has converted something from Mono to SIMPL# that fits the bill. I had a quick look at his download site () but didn¡¯t see anything. [Shout out to Mr Colvin for making this incredible resource available!]

Much simpler to click Save-As and convert the excel sheet to a different format like CSV or XML. Then parse that file.?

Best regards,

Neil

Re: DMPS3-4K-350 FTP STUPID SLOW!!!

 

I used file manager and it took 30 mins plus, so sounds like FileZilla is the way to go from Brians comment.

Thanks a lot, Tony.

That?s basically the mechanism i was about to program in SIMPL+, but i?m always happy to learn how to do things in good-old SIMPL.

Works like a charme. ?

A good SIMPL solution?would be to use an ABUF, SAWPULSE and MSP. Define as many serial strings needed for your display on the abuf in an offset pattern known as a candy cane (see example below) . Each new incoming RS232 string drives the SAWPULSE which triggers the ABUF for 1 logic wave and moves each serial string down 1 position.

?

NEWRS232RX -Ain1 Aout1- DisplayLine1

DisplayLine1 -Ain2?Aout2- DisplayLine2

DisplayLine2 -Ain3 Aout3- DisplayLine3

DisplayLine3 -Ain4 Aout4- DisplayLine4

DisplayLine4 -Ain5 Aout5- DisplayLine5...

I haven't had time to test this, but isn't the Formatted text object just a single line field? i.e. it will only display one line of text???
Just something to look at, and maybe try a different text format/field...


Re: Curl formatting

 

Sorry, I missed this the first time - your cURL request is via HTTPS, that's never going to work from a SIO.? You need SIMPL# in order to make HTTPS requests.

I don't have a module but recently worked with one of these. Behaved just as expected based on the protocol. PM me if you can't get your hands on it.

strange behaviour with latest voice modules & MC3 & Home Elements

 

i had problems with an MC3 so swapped in another back in May
tried to delete the MAC address of the older MC3 from the Crestron website to re-register Alexa - didn't work, so gave up
put older MC3 back in yesterday and was hoping Alexa would just work - Crestron site all checkmarks
'discover devices' would not find any Crestron devices, even tho, registered & online
found newer voice modules - updated code, Alexa still wouldn't find any Crestron devices
however, there was a strange side effect - TP #1 was stuck on the initialze sequence (home elements)
looked in debugger and the TP module never finished initializing for TP #1, TP #2 was working fine
put back the lpz with the original voice modules and TP #1 works fine
the voice modules were the only change
both lpz were compiled yesterday on the same machine
anyone want to guess what is going on?
