Can DM-NAX-8ZSA Player CRPC be served/emulated for a Smart Graphics Media Player Object

 

It's complicated on why it has to happen this way and I'm limited to my own understanding.
?
Here the scoop, I have taken over someone else's proprietary code that's partially built in Simpl# on a CP3 that uses XML files to specify AV sources. There are custom S+ modules used in SIMPL that connect the SIMPL# controlled touchpanels to hardware AV sources. These original SIMPL programs and S+ modules can't be modified or compiled unless I use SIMPL v4.11. I'm having to replace the home audio source that used to be an Autonomic MMS. The Autonomic provided a TCP/IP server for the Smart Graphics Media Player to directly connect for transport control and meta data. The new audio source is a DM-NAX-8ZSA. The XML files on the Simpl# processor specify the IP address and port of the Autonomic to connect to the Smart Graphics Media Player. I'm not allowed to modify the touchpanels, but I can modify the XML files and original SIMPL Windows programming. I currently and using EIC to reroute source and volume control to a new 4 series processor that is controlling the DM-NAX-8XSA. I just want to be able to get the CRPC data from the NAX to a "server" that this SIMPL# code can talk to. Any help would be appreciated. I very much have learned my lesson of when proprietary template-style code is in use, plan on building it from scratch.
 

If I understand your question correctly, yes, "any" Simpl device symbol that uses the CRPC signals can be connected to the touchpanel's Media Player Application SmartObject, and it should work.

I think I found what I was looking for. For anyone interested the Player Transport Control object for the NAX has a "Direct Connect Info Feedback" output that displays the built-in server and port that I needed for the external CRPC connection. Just couldn't see it after looking at the code all day.
 

Turns out my NAX didn't output any data from the "Direct Connect Info Feedback". However, after performing an open port scan of the DM-NAX-8ZSA I found that TCP ports 50010-50017 appear to be Smart Graphics Media Player direct connect ports and worked for my application. These open ports don't appear to be documented anywhere.

What?? I'm shocked!...
