Re: Software house, Istar Pro access control
What are you trying to do with it?
?
I haven¡¯t done anything intelligent with anything from Software House but I have done systems where the access control system provides contact closures to grant
access (e.g. ¡°unlock¡± a touchpanel) either on schedule or card swipe, with the Crestron system returning limited status (panel locked/unlocked, room normal/trouble) likewise via contact closure which the security guys tend to be more on board with/less paranoid
about than letting a random device talk directly to their ecosystem.

Has anyone worked with integrating the IStar Pro access control system into a program??

Re: Broadcasting UDP serial command
Well I stand corrected.? If I turn off IGMP snooping in my switch, put a UDP symbol in my Crestron MC3 with an address or either 239.0.0.200 or 239.0.0.255, and then use Wireshark to capture all the multicast traffic,? the MC3 indeed sends out either 239.0.0.200 or 239,0.0.255 with the correct destination mac address of 01-00-5e-00-00-c8 or 01-00-5e-00-00-ff respectfully.? BUT, Wireshark reports the packet is malform.? If I send a multicast stream from my laptop using ffmpeg, the packets are not malform.? So it appears that at least the MC3 if formatting the packet incorrectly.

Re: cable box LG STB-5500
You have to sign a NDA with LG to get the documents and support isn't really there and their MPI port isn't a 232 port. You will also need their installer remote.?long story, we went with IR.
I know its not very helpful but the time and effort balanced against the LG support made it easy to just go to IR.

Re: Axis GET command formatting
You have to disable HTTPs and Digest Auth and enable Basic Authentication to use in an SIO

We have a commercial project coming up with a few LG cable boxes: LG STB-5500.
Anybody with a past experience on these?? Any words of wisdom?
Thanks,

This actually had me looking a bit more this morning as I have been dealing with some issues with a new deployment of the IntrinsicDev AppleTV module.? After downgrading firmware to 1.53 on our PRO3 we still couldnt get the thing to work so I am just bypassing it altogether.? When I removed their modules, the Data Loss notice went away.
I thought that was a bit curious, so I dropped one back in, commented all the signals out and re-compiled.? The IntrinsicDev AppleTV module is definitely throwing those notices.

In a particular smaller project I traced it down to the Crestron Media Server Router v4 module, when commented out it would clear the notice.? But I am getting the same notice on a different project and commenting the same modules out still generates the notice.? Who knows.

Axis GET command formatting
I need to figure out how to format a browser command for an SIO to enable/disable privacy masking on some Axis cameras.? Below is an example of a command that works when typed into a web browser, but so far I'm having no luck getting it to work with a TCP client and an SIO.? Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,?

Re: Broadcasting UDP serial command
My experience in the past with trying to do broadcast commands with the UDP symbol is it doesn't work.? But it has been a while since I tried so that may have changed. I've only gotten it to work with pointing it to a specific IP address and doing a one to one communication to another device.
Multicast is a whole other story.? When you send a multicast address, the MAC address is also changes. It is that special MAC address that allow the multicast packet to be routed to the right ports.? Now I am not sure if it is the switch that changes the MAC or if the sending device device that does that MAC address translation. But according to , it looks like it is the sending device that generates the multicast MAC address.? If that is the case, I highly doubt the Crestron UDP module will handle that MAC conversion -- instead, it will probably just send out the MAC address of your processor.

Tony,
Let me know if you ever trace down where the below issue is. As I said, I'm also seeing it and just haven't had time to trace it.
Thanks
Jay

Good tip Oliver on dealing with conversion.
I hate to state the obvious here but normally when I have some compile error that doesn't point to a specific module, I usually start commenting out modules in the program until the error goes away.? Of course you will get a lot of other error about unconnected signals but when the LONG_INTEGER message goes away, you found your module causing the problem.

Inconceivable!

MULDIV(...) handles the overflow situation for you by dealing with the
intermediate long int and converting back to a normal 16-bit int for the
result.
what you want here though is LOW_WORD(...) which is effectively like a longint
to int cast.
i may have the function names a bit off here, but they should be close enough!

I get what you are saying, but part of our job is to explain to them that perfect control requires the manufacturer of the device being controlled to provide a way to do what they want.? You could also throw an IR flasher on the TV if that is your only option.? What they want to hear doesn't mean a thing when it is something we cannot provide with the hardware provided.? I also agree with AVMaster...a $100k Crestron system shouldn't be using built in "Smart TV" apps.? It should have a more powerful and suitable device for streaming apps.

Re: Broadcasting UDP serial command
Use the IP address 239.0.0.255 in the device configuration or reconfigure the IP address to the same subnet.

Re: CNXLIR communication issue
Yep, local viewport installed. Power supply is a brand new one anyway, since the unit came with a US plug. I?ll give it a new try when cable and adapter arrives. ? Cheers, Thorsten ? ? Back about 5 to 10 years ago, the power supply on my CNXLIR went bad.? The symptom was it lite up and look normal but I couldn't communicate with it.? The exact symptom you are having.? You might want to try a different power supply.? I wouldn't doubt of all the original power supplies for the CNXLIR are failing now.
When I install DEAL, I always select using a Local copy of VIewport instead of the Centralized Viewport.
Bare in mind that the integration with Crestron's other software and user databases broken a long time ago.? So you can no longer rebuild your user database via DEAL anymore nor search the user or Crestron databases.? You have to manually select the IR driver you want to display via the File/Open drop down menu.? But even with the broken integrations, I still prefer using the CNXLIR when learning a remote then the newer USB IR Learner.? The CNXLIR just has a lot more features to modify your IR drivers.
