Hi all,
I've just installed snapshot 23759 on an Asus AT3n7A-1 , with sound and video thru HDMI to a Sharp Aquos, with a 2302 (prolific) usb/232 converter for control.
On previous installations the 2302 has worked transparently and the tv has been PNP.
Now, the system is picking up the 2303 dongle and asking if I want to use it (yes) but no longer auto detects the tv
if I manually add the tv in web admin the system either freezes when reloading the router or persistently
shows the tv as disabled in web admin.
Has anyone experienced anything similar,? and /or can anyone point me in the right direction,
tia

Hi Tim
many thanks for responding.
I only found the vendorId referenced in EDIT #1754..zwave /triclestar--removed.....removedthe pl2303 as a device and physically ,reloaded then rebooted (reload only didn't work).
Once back into lmce, I re-inserted the pl2303 which the system detected (repeatedly,untill) I assigned the converter as controlled by the core, in web admin
Web admin reports two usb ports in the drop down menu for com port, neither of which bear any resemblance to bus/device id reported in lsusb...........How do I determine which is the correct port? I did try both,expecting the system to pick up the tv, which it didn't.
The same two ports are later reported in the avwizard,which is triggered by me selecting the Aquos template, again which port should be used?
also...if I update/upgrade or update sqlcvs is the problem going to recur ?
sorry for all the questions...bar minor editing of the Aquos template this has always been an automagic
part of the setup
many thanks

Update

RESULT on every occaision - the aquos template shows the device as registered but disabled
Does anyone have any ideas ?

Delete any usb-serial devices in the device tree and do a reload.

Hi tim,
I've just tried your suggestion....the pl2303 is no longer showing in device tree (it hasn't since I removed the tricklestar) and the Aquos is still showing as disabled & not registered , tho the system did run thro numerous detection scripts

EDIT very limited SUCCESS ;D ;D ;D
1/butchered template 1920 even tho it wasn't showing the vendorDevice ID template, 1754 allready had tricklestar pnp info deleted
2/determined by dmesg which ttyUSB being usedfor the pl2303
3/changed the tv template (admin->advanced ->config -> device templates) so com port on pc parameter has /dev/ttyUSB1 entered as default value
4/admin->wizard->devices->av pick template 1856 in my case .... av wizrd kicks in...complete..and yes I have control ;D ;D ;D........after 2 solid days :'(
hope this helps someone else
many thanks Tim
regards

Good for you, that thinks are working for you.
Bad for LinuxMCE that it not auto-detect the LG device. Which should have happened.

template 1920 is PLCBus if I am not mistaken.
Something wrong with the pnp script? Hari?

Hi all
Is this issue to do with ticket #1009 ?
After playing with system for a while, I shut down, rebooted this morning and tv again disabled......after a fresh install and setting up again as above , system works, but I have noticed the following,
1-reloading router disables tv, necessitating deletion / reloading router /reinstalling
2- web admin times out leaving the X,KEYBOARD,and power button....pressing X takes me back to computing menu, with webadmin on Remote button, pressing which takes me straight back to where I was in web admin ....and then repeats this little game after another 2-3 minutes ...
3-tv detection scripts run but don't pick up the tv if it hasn't yet been reinstalled
obviously this has turned the addition of tv control into a nightmare, especially with the regen times the ion achieves, in fact with the prospect of this palaver everytime the router is reloaded it makes any further setup impractical (rant over)
Back to the trac ticket question....should this not be escalated as it will affect any user with usb/serial controlled tv's see http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=11441.msg79077#msg79077

the template should not use the usb id...
