New Device Template instructions with PNP for LG LCD TV

[rwilson131]

I have just finished posting instructions for adding LG LCD TV device template along with a pnp script if anyone is interested.

Rob--

Thanks for this excellent wiki entry.  I'm using it to develop an Olevia template.

Great!

We need more TV Templates.  Now we just have to have a clear method of syncing these new templates.

Thanks and have fun,

Rob

Gang--

I'm having an issue I was hoping you could help me with.  I've got the template for my Olevia TV complete.  I'm working on getting the PNP script working correctly. I've created the script and added it to the PNP section of my device template and in the /usr/pluto/pnp directory.

This TV is similar to Rob's in that I'm using Power Status to detect it, and so I need to turn it on first before sending the status command query.

I believe I've gotten the Script working correctly.  When I call it from the command line (giving dummy arguments for $1, $2, and $4, and the correct port for $3) it turns on the TV and correctly identifies the TV (I can tell by the echo'd string).  However, I am not able to have LMCE auto-detect this TV.  I started the wizard and clicked on the 'TV' button, which I thought would try the detect scripts, but after leaving it running overnight, the TV was still off, indicating to me that the script was never called.  I do see the TV listed on the TV setup page as one of the direct control TVs.  Any ideas on what to do next?  I thought the PNP scripts were called on a regular basis by one of the plugins.  Is this correct?

Thanks,

PeteK,

Nice to see you back!

Without seeing the Template, it's hard to diagnose..
I assume you put the script in the pnp section of the template..
And that the script is calling the correct Device Template at the back..

When you added the script & Template, I assume you rebooted..

I thought the only time those scripts were called were on a config change detected through HAL..

Since the serial port still exists, there wouldn't be a change in HAL..

Try rebooting with the TV plugged in.. I don't think a router reload is enough.

I'm kinda shootin in the dark here..  Good Luck!

All the best,

Dan

Thanks Dan, but unfortunately no luck on the reboot.  The PNP script name is in the template and the scrip is in what I think is the correct place /usr/pluto/pnp/  for where I have the TV (on the host).  Running the script at the command line returns correct.  Here's the contents of the script, but again, I just don't think it's being executed at all.
