ch5 + Contract Editor suddenly broken?
15
I've been working on ch5 for a while. I had a number of pages and widgets working with my control system using the Contract Editor. Everything was fine up until Saturday 1st March. Deployment was on Crestron One app on iPads. Yesterday (Thursday 6th) I returned to the work and NONE of the links to the control system are working. Yet I've made zero changes. I've spent the last 24 hours chasing my tail trying to recover it, or at least get it back to functioning. No luck. I also tried restoring some previous (much simpler) sandbox ch5 loads and they aren't working either. Original build was on a CP3 but I've today tried it on a new CP4 as well, same result (or lack of result!) Have 'restored' both processors so even though the mobility license is not required, the trial period 60 days has been reset anyway. Have tried different iPads too. Now I think I'm going mad. it was *definitely* working before!! It seems to me the contract, as the link between the control system and the UI, is broken. Yet I see no warnings or errors when I build on Visual Studio Code. Has anybody else noticed their ch5 projects collapse like this in the past few days?

NVX Firmware upgrade
4
Hi, I recently picked up a bunch of DM-NVX-351's with the goal of replacing an aging DM-16x16 system at home. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't get any of the units I've tried to update to the latest firmware .00084. I've tried using DM NVX tool and directly from the Web UI and both fail in different ways. The Web UI loads the update file and then just fails. The DM NVX tool appears to work but when I rescan the devices after a reboot they are still at the older firmware level. I've connected via SSH but don't see anything obvious to allow an update via the command line. Any help would be appreciated as always! Karl

NVX Flickering (Rare) - How to Prove it is a Network Problem?
6
Are there any mechanism to prove flickering was caused by network issue? Something in a error log of decoder, debug mode etc? I have a site where we have rare and random, could be a whole days with zero issues, so it is hard to catch/Wireshark etc. Impossible to replicate so far, and since there are dozen other possibilities, I am looking for a way to log it somehow.

File /SSH Interface v1.8.1.zip uploaded
4
#file-notice
The following items have been added to the Files area of the [email protected] group. /SSH Interface v1.8.1.zip By: josh@LiquidPixel <jwinn@...> Description: This is a LiquidPixel bug fix to the stock module in the SIMPL database. That module has a connection retry time set to every 0.05s, which will bring down a CP4 if you try to connect to the console with the wrong credentials (or load a program to a different CP4 for testing, like I did). This version has a retry time of 30s, with a console message that tells you the connection wasn't successful. I also added a "reconnect" input, which just disconnects and reconnects. Help file included.

Shade ENET Power Supply with Cresnet Slaves
3
Am I missing something? Is the cheap, 2-page start doc on the resources page for this power supply the only documentation for this product?? So I have an ENET Shade power supply with two cresnet slaves ('Slave' ENETs). In SMW, I can add 'Slave' ENET units to either the Master or the Local subSlots (I know that they should be on the Master) but they don't expand to allow shade motors to be added to the slaves where they are actually connected... What am I missing?? TIA!

File /LiquidPixel NVX Control Suite v2.zip uploaded
#file-notice
The following items have been added to the Files area of the [email protected] group. /LiquidPixel NVX Control Suite v2.zip By: josh@LiquidPixel <jwinn@...> Description: Multicast Address Generator, NVX Router, NVX USB Router, NVX AES67 Router. Control via analog values that trigger stream addresses (not subscriptions). Includes a complete SIMPL demo, and detailed help files. VERSION 2 INCLUDES: a bug fix (USB routes have to be cleared to 0.0.0.0 to un-pair, rather than "") and multicast addresses are now spaced by 8 (configurable in module parameters just in case). Other routing modules have better error handling (attempting to route an out-of-range value now produces a console error message).

Difference in UDP in 3er and 4th
2
Good day I faced a strange issue with UDP listener between 3 and 4 series processor. I need to listen mDNS stream for a specific address (in my case 192.xxx.xxx.036). I made a test program on RMC4 - everything works perfectly. In case of using 224.0.0.251:5353, as UDP IP, I get all mDNS stream, when I put 192.xxx.036, I receive an mDNS records just from the device i need. BUT !!! When upload this program to CP3N (or RMC3) the situation becomes the following: when using 224.0.0.251 - I'm still getting full stream from all mDNS devices in my net, But when I put any definite IP instead of 224... nothing comes. Actually I tried two CPs (RMC3 and RMC4) with the same program in two debugger windows. When using 224.0.0.251 the behavior is similar But, when changing the address to 192.xxx.xxx, RMC4 still works perfectly, RMC3 has no RX traffic at all. Tried both SIMPL and SIMPL+ modules Meanwhile, There is a way to get the result on 3er, but only filtering the RX in SIMPL+ module with IF ... SenderIPAddress = Param IP e.t.c.. Thanks

Cant get Crestron Go to connect to processor
25
CP4 Processor. I have programmed logic in simpl using both the Crestron Go symbol (ID03) and Crestron App symbol (ID04). GUI programmed as Crestron App in VTProe and uploaded to the processor. User and password setup on processor in Connect group On my iPhone, I have both the Crestron Go App and the Crestron App (Grey Icon). I have entered site detalis in the LAN box, have enabled SSL, and entered the user name and password. I can connect and load the GUI project using the Crestron App configured with either of the IP IDs, and the GUI is fully functional. I cannot connect using the Crestron Go app using the same credentials at either IP ID. I have removed and reinstalled the Go App. I have deleted and added the site in the Go App, and thoroughly checked the settings. Still no joy. I have checked the processor for blocked users or IPs, but none were found. Don't know what to do next, and I can't hand it over to the client as they have the Go App installed and I can't get it to work! Any suggestions as to what to try next?

Watchout Server Not Responding to Power Commands from Crestron
#crestron
#xpanel
#cp4
Hello, I hope this message finds you well. I'm facing an issue where one of my Watchout servers, which recently had a disk failure and was replaced with a cloned disk & new same series watchout media server ,which is not responding to power commands from Crestron through XPanel. However, it powers on manually without any issues, and once powered on, I can control the show load, play, stop, and power off functionalities via XPanel. Could someone please guide me on what might be missing or if there's a specific configuration step that I need to perform post-replacement of the disk? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

DM 16x16 Audio Not Passing Consistently
2
#programming
Hi all, I am having significant issues with a DM chassis that won¡¯t consistently pass audio from windows PCs when swapping applications sending audio. User plugs HDMI into the Dm endpoint and can send audio out of power point, but if the Alt tab to a web browser and try to send audio from a source like YouTube no audio passes out of the Dm chassis. Audio can be restored a few ways, deselecting and reselecting the HDMI embedded audio output on windows, changing the input compensation on the DM input card, changing the DAC level on the output card. This is the same across multiple input/output cards and laptops, unrouting the signal in the DM signal and rerouting it. Here is a concise signal flow. 1x : DM-MD16x16 (v4.102.352400074) Audio path: Source --> DM-TX-4KZ-302-C --> DMC-4KZ-C-DSP --> DMC-4KZ-HDO --> Biamp Tesira I¡¯ve tried both audio breakaway enable and disabled. I¡¯ve tried changing the DAC level by a minute amount consistently but that causes audio cuts. True Blue is not sure what to do at the moment.

Custom scheduling panel display
3
So, we've got a bunch of TSS-770 scheduling panels pulling their schedules from 25Live through Fusion. That's working just fine. The challenge is the folks in one building are upset that the room shows "Available" on the panel when it isn't reserved. It seems people actually want to use the rooms when they're "Available", (imagine that!) but the people in charge don't want them to. They only want the panel to display reservations. I'm not quite sure yet (and they probably aren't either) what they do want the panels to display. Does anybody have any idea how to pull this off? I've got a couple of ideas, but if somebody else has already solved the problem... Idea 1: Get rid of the panels. Unfortunately I don't think that's going to be politically acceptable. Idea 2: Create all-day reservations that will display when there's not a "real" reservation. It looks like the display priority is alphabetical based on the reservation name, so in theory "ZZZ - Not reservable" might show up. Idea 3: (painful) Have someone create individual "Not reservable" reservations for all the times there's no genuine reservation. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul

Strange SiMPL+ behavior
5
Good day Has anybody faced such SIMPL+ bug. 1. You make a module 2. Press compile 3. No errors, the symbol was updated .. .. but actually it was not updated ... SIMPL uses the old version of the module. I could not catch what a trouble, until added PRINT ("time XXXX ") in the Main Function (I added current time or something new before new compilation to chck if it WAS). In result in module in SIMPL+ which was successfully compiled few second ago I can see correct code, but the debuger shows me that the previous version is used. The only alteration can be seen is adding the output or input. In this case the module in SIMPL is updated with new input/output BUT !!! the code itself is still old ... I tried all solution I could Rebuild, reload databases, files e.t.c. , move UserPlus library to other folder e.t.c. The only solution works is: Before compile save as the module with new name, (f.e. module_ver2) than add new module in SIMPL and copy all signals to the new one. This way it works ones ... PS: All that happens in Parallels over MacOS. I used it for a long time and there were no any trouble for years. I'm really tiered with this "games" :-) Thanks in advance for You advices

Script Dynamic Parameters for Hostname, IP-ID, etc

Mediacom Cable TV Box Control (Des Moines IA)

I need to control a cable box from Mediacom in Des Moines IA (do not yet have a model number for the actual box). I looked in the Crestron IR database and the files posted here on groups IO and I do not see anything that references "Mediacom". I would appreciate a clue if anyone has controlled one of these. Thx in advance! MediacomCable - Mediacom | Internet, TV and Phone services

NVX REST-API IR Control
Has anyone done this? The API says Ascii, Hex, Base64, RTF8 with a 128 character limit. All the commands I have are pronto hex. For testing, I'm using known working TV commands for a sharp I have at my house. But if I send { "Device": { "ControlPorts": { "Infrared": { "Port1": { "TransmitData": "0000 006D 0000 0020 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 0679 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 001E 000A 0046 000A 0679", "TransmitDataFormat": "Hex" } } } } } the IR doesn't flash or do anything. If I enter the wrong data (say remove the spaces so it is one long hex string per TB recommendation), then the IR does really long pulses forever until the IR driver experiences a buffer overrun and the NVX crashes and reboots. So I don't know what exactly Crestron is looking for in the TransmitData field.

Older residential system - upgrade
13
I have a friend that purchased a house with an older Crestron System that wants to do a refresh. Currently has the following 1. Cp2e 2. CNX-BiPad8 3. TPS-4L (x3) 4. CNX-PVID8x3 5. Integra surround receiver 6. CEN-TRACK Looking to simplify system by replacing all displays with SmarTV's that will be used with TV remote and as standalone. For house audio to add his existing Sonos to the CNX-BiPad8 along with the existing CEN-TRACK to allow for whole house music. Remove the CNX-PVID8x3 and to replace the CP2e with either a CP4 or RMC4 paired with a CEN-IO-COM-102 for additional serial ports. Updating the programming in each TPS-4L even though they aren't SmartGraphic compatible this will keep cost down. Finally, add a Samsung Tablet or iPad to theater for control and possibly add house music control to his iPhone to allow room source selection and control (as long as the Sonos interface to Crestron works well). 1. Any issue with using an older Sonos integration with Crestron? 2. Thoughts of using Android vs IOS for control? I didn't see Android in Simpl, unless Crestron GO is for either.
