Installation issues / Re: AV Pipe Settings for Embedded TV Tuner

« Last post by cafedumonde on March 21, 2018, 09:59:12 pm »

I have tried with weborbiter. No luck. It seems that the router might be confused about the arrangement of the pipes. The issue does not occur when the paths of the audio and video pipes are the same. Is anyone else using a configuration like the one in the picture, where the paths are different?

Langston,
This is incredibly exciting news for the project. I have been using Alexa and IFTTT with Vera as a Beta tester and love it. After recently shifting all my zwave back to LMCE I'm excited by the possibility of using Alexa again with my setup.

How could I as an end user do to help you bring this on? Contribute to hosting/ SSL costs??

Awesome work
Garath

I too desire to switch my zwave back to linuxmce from smartthings.
i suppose i could setup some donation process if people wanted to help out with that
right now there is a bit of a technical hurdle to get all the packages needed in place, im working on that.
Unless you know how to get packages in place for linuxmce, its really just admin work that needs to be done to make the needed upgrades on the core.

Users / DCERouter Issue: TV Tuner Channel Control

« Last post by cafedumonde on March 11, 2018, 10:21:09 pm »

Hi. I have put my pipe routing issue on hold for a while and am now trying to get the embedded tuner device on my LG TV to work with my Microsoft MCE remote.

Things generally work. The LMCE controls power over RS232, the AVR switches inputs correctly, and the TV is switched to the digital tuner over RS232. I am using the internal speakers for sound. I can change volume and the number buttons work for tuning. However, I cannot get the channel +/- buttons to respond.

I don't think the device template is the problem. The SendKey function that is used works fine for some functions, just not the channel buttons. The device template is #2126. Also sending the command <$ "ka 01 00\r"$> directly to serial port also works flawlessly. That rules out the serial connection.

The best I can tell, the router is recieving the command from the USBIRT device but is not forwarding it on to the television. Please see the snippet below from DCERouter.log:

In the log, you can see the router recieving the volume commands and forwarding them to the TV. After that, you can see that it is also seeing the channel + commands but is not forwarding them. At least that is how I interepret the log.

Am I correct? Suggestions please.

Thanks,

Been running this for a while now, all seems to be going well.

Going to try and push this week to get it packaged up.

Installation issues / Re: AV Pipe Settings for Embedded TV Tuner

« Last post by cafedumonde on March 04, 2018, 06:07:21 pm »

I have been affected by the massive power outage in the Washington DC area. Power has been out for the last 3 days. I will confirm the behavior with the web orbiter when things are back to normal.

Thanks for the reply.

Installation issues / Re: AV Pipe Settings for Embedded TV Tuner

« Last post by tschak909 on March 04, 2018, 12:19:34 am »

This is probably a bug where the on-screen display is showing the Pause/mute buttons in response to touching the remote. Does this happen on a non-onscreen orbiter too?

If this is the case, then somebody needs to go in with Designer, go to the Non-Pluto PVR remote, 16:9 V2 variation, and remove the goto screen that causes the play/mute butons to show up.

I don't have a designer setup atm.
