Developers / Status of previously contributed templates via sqlcvs

« on: June 23, 2009, 10:58:26 am »

Hi,

Hi,

I have contributed and created few templates for LinuxMCE (Marantz SR5600 Receiver, Cybrotech Home Automation system, ESS speaker selector, many changes to generic automation devices, etc....). There was a call to all developers to enter those changes via sqlcvs into 7.10... I took time and did commits for each template and they were registered and put into queue...I checked them on 8th January, 2009 and they were Mantis #4287 to Mantis #4292...

Now I've setup test system in my house with latest 810 alpha and I miss those contributions... I remember that smeone said, that those contributions are not lost and there is maybe some chance that they will be processed and entered into 8.10. Are there any updates on that ?

If not, then I'll probably have to do it again from scratch (for the fourth time :-), but that's a long story from Pluto's times...), but I wonder if everything is fixed now regarding sqlcvs contributions and those templates can be entered in reasonable time in main database to be used also on other systems ? I've found brief description - is this the right one ?
http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=8325.0

I'd also like to brainstorm few changes that are probably required for some more generic devices that are only partly usable (there are questions like  weather is better to have few, more generic devices (lights,temperature,bright sensors, thermostats) or have separate templates for any brand (zwave thermostat, Cybrotech light, etc...). Should I split those questions and brainstorms into separate threads ?

If I remember right my proposals for changes in Climate plugin are already in, and JonDecker also already prepared lighting plugin so it's possible to display dimming state on floorplan, right?

Thanks in advance for your opinions,

regards,

Bulek.

Users / Cannot install Orbiter on N800 Chinook

« on: May 07, 2009, 04:51:51 pm »

Hi,

have problems installing n800 Orbiter for Chinook from http://diapub.com/~michael/.

First problem appeared on adding repositories :
 I corrected them manually from "repostory" to "repository"

Now it seems fine, but another error still appears :
"Unable to download lmce-orbiter_installer. Application package not found"....

Can anyone please advice, what is wrong ?

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Users / Shuffle command to Media Plugin doesn't have any parameters ?

« on: May 06, 2009, 12:48:22 pm »

Hi,

I know Media Plugin can figure out what is the target if you issue Shuffle command from Orbiter. But how can you trigger shuffle of actively playing playlist from outside other sources than Orbiters (for instance from Scenarios or Events handler).

How can I distinguish between more media players to shuffle only particular one ?

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Users / Core vs Hybrid in practice ?

« on: April 17, 2009, 12:19:37 pm »

Hi,

I'm installing LMCE Core/Hybrid into a cabinet and I won't use it as hybrid (no graphic output). I remember reading about that it's absolutely better to install hybrid cause of easier configuration, but I'm curious what is the best way to do this :
- install Core  or
- install Hybrid and later try to start without X  or
- install Hybrid and forget about X that is running .

Any related expreience would help me a lot ...

Thanks in advance,

Users / Can I enhance Firefox and web browsing in Orbiter on touchscreen?

« on: March 28, 2009, 10:30:24 am »

Hi,

in our home we have central touchscreen located in kitchen and we control eveything through UI1.

But since a lot of usefull family stuff is also present on Web, I would like to enhance touchscreen experience when web browsing under on-screen Orbiter.

Are there any alternative browsers, Firefox add-ons, special web-page changing sites or tools for better touchscreen experience (I remember similar featurs on mobile browsers) or anything similar for doing convenient web browsing with touchscreen ?

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Bulek.

Developers / Sometimes I cannot register with DCERouter for text DCE messages ?

« on: March 28, 2009, 10:19:41 am »

Hi,

I'm using my Home automation driver that I wrote my self. It's an external application that connects to DCERouter over two sockets.

To increase stability of the app, I implemented PING-PONG queries to check whether device is still registered with DCERouter (cause for some odd reasons DCERouter disconnects occasionally  - details in another thread in this forum), but sometimes I also spot that DCERouter upon registration responds with scrambled characters - I suspect that it responds with "binary" DCE messages and not text as I want to register.... I've followed closely docs on Wiki, but it seems that something is still missing - or am I the only one using text DCE connection ?

Anyone with similar experience ?

Anyone using text DCE interface ? Is it stable ?

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Bulek.

Developers / Please remove me from adminstrators....

« on: March 27, 2009, 04:13:30 pm »

Hi,

I haven't even started doing anything and I already got flamed by lmce3000 in private message queoted below :

Dude! what's going on? why did you delete Your comments from my thread?
and I quote " Do you always take credit for someone else's backstabbing or are you just trying to be an asshole?"

Did you write that? or was it dlewis? Shame on you !!!!!

Please remove me from administrators. I certainly don't want to mess with everything bad going through these forums...
I'll try to contribute to threads but not mess with posters. Some time ago I got flamed few times really badly also, but I holded my breath and didn't respond. Maybe some of you should do the same...

In such situation, I think that Adminstrators should stay away of any actions and let the time to show what is right or wrong. Currently the weather on these forums is too hot..

Regards,

Bulek.

How do you deal with it ?

Thanks in advance,

Users / GSD device suddenly stopped working - ESS GSD device

« on: March 25, 2009, 11:23:04 am »

Hi,

after some time I've again used my speaker selector as GSD deivce (I wrote GSD code), but it doesn't work anymore.

Even more, sending command to it, crashes GSD device and causes restart of winxp Orbiter (probably some other too).

Cause errors in log are a bit cryptic and unfamiliar to me, I'm kindly asking if someone knows better what those messages mean and where to start fixing things :
DCERouter.log :

Developers / Few DCERouter-device socket connections questions

« on: March 20, 2009, 09:59:52 pm »

Hi,

I'd kindly ask if anyone has any more insight into following quoted messages and whether they are harmful and should be debugged what causes them ...

1. Timeout on PING
DCERouter sends PING string and waits for PING_TIMEOUT (that is defined as 5 - what units does this mean) ?

#define PING_TIMEOUT      5

Also: I see that Dcerouter sends many PINGs in short time intervals - intentional ? Why is one response not enough ? Or is maybe my driver taking too much time ro response...

2. Socket::ReceiveString2 ReceiveData failed

01   03/20/09 12:41:41.919      Socket::ReceiveData-a 0xa9935038 failed ret 0 <0x6d4edb90>

05   03/20/09 12:41:41.919      Socket::SendMessage *failed to send* type 9 id 0 from 0 to 501 <0x674e1b90>
05   03/20/09 12:41:41.919      Socket 0xa9935038 failure sending message to device 501 <0x674e1b90>
05   03/20/09 12:41:41.919      Router::RemoveAndDeleteSocket 0xa9935038 501 <0x674e1b90>

What is DCERouter expecting in return.. If I understand right, it can send any data through non-active socket, but maybe it's expecting something in return ?

3. Can false  setting for house mode cause device disconnect ?

I wonder if invalid house mode can cause device disconnection ? Or is last entry cause by any other previous entry (I haven't found anything that could associate with such action) ?

Users / Can I change UI2 to non alpha blending via webadmin ?

« on: February 04, 2009, 04:20:52 pm »

Hi,

I'm trying to change UI2 to non alpha blending state via webadmin (I have not keyboard/mouse attached to that MD). I'm trying to do reverse path from  this :
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Enabling_UIv2

but I cannot uncheck those "Use alpha blended UI" ticks (they are grayed out and cannot be clicked)...

Is this currently possible to do with 710 ?

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Bulek.

Users / timeout to go back from remote control to media playing on UI1 - settable ?

« on: January 14, 2009, 11:21:04 am »

Hi,

I have central touchscreen to control my LMCE based home. I'm running UI1, but sometimes I also play some videos on it. On UI1 when you touch anywhere during the media play, you get remote screen.

But Orbiter goes really fast (after few seconds) back to media playing and I would like to extent that time to have more time for instance to rewind or do fast forward to get to certain point.... if I don't do any press in 2-3 seconds it goes back to media playing and this is not convenient for such use..

Is this timeout some setting somewhere or is hardcoded in Orbiter code ?

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Bulek.

Users / Remote Orbiter doesn't survive on minimize/background on win,N800... ?

« on: January 14, 2009, 11:16:37 am »

Hi,

I'm using my LMCE system for quite some time now with various remote Orbiters... And more and more spot something weird in behaviour....

It goes something like this :
- if Orbiter is minimized or put into task bar (I haven't got exact pattern on this)... But after some time when Orbiter comes back to focus, it just sits there being unresponsive (with black screen) or even won't come up if clicked on taskbar. And then I have to select other Orbiter's window and click on apply and the Orbiter is restarted and shows menu...

On N800 if I go into another programs and come back to Orbiter it's unresponsive and OS recognizes it as unresponsive and asks to stop it...

I've searched for some screensaver settings but there aren't any for remote Orbiters (beside setting seconds before screen saver to 0)...

Do you spot the same ? Is this somekind of setting trick ?


Thanks in advance,

regards,

Bulek.
