Trying to use LG ethernet module (LG 2018 Ethernet v1.3) but getting Newtonsoft.json error


 

I downloaded this module tonight because I need to use controls that aren't part of the Crestron Connected Display signal list.? I got a compile error that says "cannot be used due to a dependency on Newtonsoft.json.compact version 3.5.0.0.? This system is using Newtonsoft.json.compact version 4.0.8.0.

What exactly does this mean?? Since version 4.0.8.0 is NEWER than 3.5.0.0, why is there a problem?? I could see if my system had an older version, but if what I have is newer, why would that be an issue???

If this module doesn't work, why is it in the Application Market?? I thought all modules were tested before they were uploaded to the App Market?

Is there another way to control LG TVs over IP without using this module?

Thanks,

Patrick Barron


 

You won¡¯t get that to compile. This has been an issue for a while since Crestron broke support for the old Newtonsoft.

However, I¡¯m not aware of any signal present in that old module that isn¡¯t available using the Crestron Certified driver (which I assume is what you meant rather than Crestron Connected Display). What signal are you looking for?

Yeah, the CCD actually works pretty good and seems to have anything on board what you need.

What?s missing?

I've never used a Crestron Certified Driver.? Are those hard to implement?? I typically use the Roomview Connected Display module which does power and input select since that's normally all I need.

I need to have access to the basic menu functions and arrows to navigate through the Smart TV options.

Me personally, I wouldn't...

I would recommend troy Garner's NS update service. its simple, inexpensive and will get you moving forward quickly...


 

Would you be open to using IR commands via TCP/IP?

?

This would allow you to access the menus but you won't likely get much in the way of feed back.

Check the files for LG Signage Monitor and Signage TV control Guide V2.pdf

?

The command option you want is listed as [Key] under the WebOS commands. You can get the corresponding IR codes out of the User guide for your model LG screen.


 

I will load my example for the CCD control.? Nice thing is that the new LGs let you setup IP control without going into the service menu to create the key.? Also, I usually will convert the pkg file to zip and extract the 2 files to load to the processor.? you will notice that call the .dll vs the .pkg file.
