Hi,

There are not many (if any) Dianemo users with X10 installations so its possible that the CM15A device has a problem that's not been noticed. We'll look at this asap if you make sure Remote Assistance is on.

All the best

some progress on the ago control side. We've settled onto a MVC approach via ember js and jquery. It also supports templates and other nice things. Gumby is used for the appearance. Communication is done viai JSON-RPC. Getting the inventory (aka device list and stuff™), sending commands and receiving live status updates works fine so far. Still a lot of work to do but hey this is brand new, very hot, and will receive a lot love over the next weeks and months.

Hari - did the bug Uplink reported that caused Ago to crash when a device was placed in a 'room' get fixed?

Andrew

Is the dianemo website down? I'm unable to access. Thanks.

Yes it is - apologies for the downtime. We're working on it.

Andrew

Didn't someone announce this kickstarter elsewhere here? atmolight is working with TV playback for VDR users already.

Yep here ;-)

Yes it only applies to audio. Video still uses UpdateMedia.

Hi,

I'm not sure to what extent this also applies for LMCE, but I'm having a lot of problems under Dianemo S that currently switched to Logitech Media Server as internal music system...

First of all, the main problem is that my collection is not properly tagged and I'm waiting for option to use it via Folder structure... But that's another story... I'm trying to tag my collection as much as possible correctly, but have problems...

I've tagged few folders with mp3, wav and flac files. Then I tried to use LMS to rescan library and encountered following problems :
1. LMS behaves strange when you do only "scan for new and changed" media files. It finds all files, but when it should end scan it waits there forever... I have to abort scan. What I've learned is that it's recomendable to do full rescan each time...

2. if I scan only specific folder then all tag data seem to appear correctly on LMS (I'm not doing anything on Dianemo yet)... But when I do rescan of whole library (all folders) then my data from specific folder don't appear anymore... There are few errors about incorrect tag values on some files, but I guess this shouldn't interfere with files that are correctly tagged... But obviously something is wrong...

Anyone with same or similar problems ? Any advice ?

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Bulek.

All audio library scanning of meta data is now done by LMS. Most users are using iTunes alongside LMS to purchase or rip audio tracks - but in fact you can use anything that correctly adds the id3 data to your audio tracks. Feedback to date seems very positive to date.

It could be that your id3 tag data is causing this problem - can you send us (Uplink or myself) some id3 data from a few tracks for us to look at?

All the best

I have been pleasantly surprised by the prices as well.  I am definitely going with the buried induction sensor.  It seems to be the only device that will not be interfered with by snow and other weather events. 

Thanks guys.

J.

Induction sensors are definitely the way to go on this as any other method can be accidentally triggered and cause false positives.

We have released an update today that adds a new page to Web Admin that will list the details of all the UPnP devices that are detectable on your Dianemo systems LAN. This means that you can discover, identify and configure UPnP devices now without requiring any external UPnP discovery tools. All that's required now is a Web Browser and Web Admin.

You can find the UPnP Devices page in Web Admin here;

Advanced->Configuration->UPnP Devices

There is also an enhanced and updated Wiki section here to help you use UPnP Devices to configure devices on your system here;

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Dianemo_S#Adding_a_UPnP_Device_To_Your_System

As usual please run your Updater script to update your system with the latest Dianemo & Ubuntu updates.

All the best

We have released an updated ZWave device binary this evening.

Today we discovered a bug in the ZWave device. A very old bug that's been there for a long time. This bug caused commands sent to multiple sleeping devices to be dispatched when a sleeping device woke up, even if the messages weren't meant for it. Those extraneous messages would time out, obviously, and get lost, so their intended target never received them. If three of these timeouts happened in a row then the ZWave DCE device would think that the USB dongle had a problem, so it would soft-reset it. This would cause all pending undelivered messages to get lost.

As usual pleased run the updater script to download and install this update on your System.

All the best

Andrew

I think I know what the problem is;

You did not virtualise your sound card before using it. I'll virtualise one of your cards for you and re-test it...

Right I've virtualised one of your USB soundcards (see your Web admin for my changes that follow the Dianemo wiki section on virtualising soundcards). OK now tested and now your Squeezeslave does not die and looks to be working in LMS.

All the best

Andrew

Your Sound cards are detected and listed ok and everything looks to be configured ok too. aplay -l outputs;

Code:

dcerouter_31437:~# aplay -l

But as soon as a squeezeslave starts up it dies. Which makes me think Squeezeslave is not happy with your USB sound card. Have you had these sound cards working before? Do you have a different card to use as a test of that theory?

All the best

Andrew

Hi Coley,
Thanks for the help with that, starting to make much more sense.
I used the Dianemo S wiki page [http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Dianemo_S#Adding_SqueezeSlave_Devices] i just reviewed the Linuxmce Squeezelave page and there are many more steps than what i have taken following the Dianemo page.  Particularly in relation to editing /etc/rc.local Without knowing the differences between Dianemo and Linuxmce in this instance, is it necessary to modify rc.local?

aplay -l returned no sound cards found

Thanks

We've automated much more of the process so thats why setup of Squeezeslaves is simpler in Dianemo. Sounds like you've missed a step out somewhere. After adding the Squeezeslave devices and filling in the device data did you do a reload and then run;

Code:

sudo /usr/pluto/bin/Start_SqueezeBox_Slaves.sh

If your still stuck...PM or email me with your installation ID and I will use Remote Assistance to take a quick look at your system.

All the best

Andrew

As known, Dianemo still uses FreePBX/Asterisk for the phone system. However for me, configuring any form of phone line through the web interface (pluto-admin) fails to create Trunks,outgoing and ingoing routes. Does anyone know what I could do to manually add a Phoneline. The product in question is a SPA3102. I have no problem creating a phone line using LMCE 10.04,8.10.

Thanks for your time.

Hmm... can you confirm that you have updated your system recently?

All the best

Andrew

I personally love the concept of using JSON/JSON-RPC for doing this as I've been doing web development for more years than I care to admit. It is ridiculously simple to implement clients for it and I can make my own integration services based upon any number of technologies. This is excellent. However, I've seen interfaces done wrong more than once and that made dealing with it a living hell.

My only problem at this point with LinuxMCE development has been getting a full development environment up and running to work on a small piece of code. I don't have the time to devote to getting a full dev environment going but I can contribute small things here and there like supporting new devices, etc. So, how would I quickly set up something to work with this project?

Your welcome to get involved at the Core/NC end if you'd like to or at the client end of things using your Web development skills. Post to this thread if you have ideas or questions etc.

All the best

Andrew

Sometimes you may have a need to manage your IP cameras on a separate machine instead of your NC. This is usually driven by performance issues on a heavily loaded NC. We have added a section to the Dianemo Wiki that explains the steps required and have pushed out a companion Update that adds scripts to support this type of configuration;

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Dianemo_S#Adding_a_Standalone_Kmotion_based_Camera_Server_to_your_System

As usual please make sure you run the updater script to update your Dianemo installation before you do the above steps in the Wiki.

All the best

Andrew
