Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] IR Blaster - Source Selection?
Hi I know this is late, but you can add a number of button presses to the power on event. I.e. it can turn the power on and then switch input. Just press the + to add more commands on the power on event on the settings page.

IIRC, IR Blaster provides CLI commands for sending IR codes, so I'd suggest something like an SBS plugin that provides a Jive/Controller/Squeezeplay interface for changing sources. Select a source from this new menu on Controller and your new plugin would execute IR Blaster CLI commands to send commands to the HK. You could also write this as an applet running on Controller, using Lua code on Controller to send the IR Blaster CLI command via Comet. I think a plugin makes more sense (an applet by default would show the choice even if you were using MySqueezebox.com, in which case it wouldn't work), but the biggest issue is probably whether you'd rather write Perl or Lua code. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79254 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] IR Blaster - Source Selection?
Have IRBlaster working OK SB3 to Harman Kardon (HK) 240 AVR with a direct link... powering the amp on and off with the on/off of SB3. I am not able, however to accomplish what I'd hoped for... maybe I'm missing something? I need to be able to change the source input on the HK, but not as mentioned above, as part of the on/off or vol+/- actions. The source cmds to the HK do work (I used them as an added command to the on/off action for testing) but I need to change the input source on the HK without turning the HK on/off or changing volume. Scenario: Source inputs to HK amp are SB3 and another AVR. HK is driving speakers at an outdoor hottub. The hottub is outdoors with a picture window looking into the FamilyRm that has a large flatpanel on wall (so can watch TV from the hottub). Want to use Duet Controller from the hottub to switch hottub speakers between SB3 music source and AVR/TV audio so can hear TV audio instead of SB3 audio when watching TV from the hottub. Is there a way to get IRBlaster to react to another Duet Controller button? e.g. the Home button is not essential for duet control (like on/off and vol+/- are) and could be used to trigger SB3 to send the HK DVD/CD IRcmd that toggles between the HK DVD and CD source inputs (that will have SB3 and AVR as feeds). If it matters, I could give up the Vol +/- buttons to add the Home button and stay within the GUI page limit of four buttons. -- Jayhawk Jayhawk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17810 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79254 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

For instance when I power my SB3 on,it turns the AVR off, pauses 0.5s, toggles power on, switches b-speakers on, switches source to CD. SB3 Power off switches source to DVD, switches B-speakers off and turns the AVR off. IR Blaster does this out of the box. What it doesn't do is allow more than the four commands to be issued with a GUI. I;d love to be able to have full control of my AVR, through iPeng plus IR Blaster but don't have the required skills to code it myself. -- TechHome TechHome's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2340 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79254 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

You may need to unpack the source (the .par file is basically a .zip file) and modify it. In lib/Plugins/IRBlaster/Settings.pm there's this line Code: my $gMaxItemsPerAction = 5;# IR commands per action (on/off/volup/voldown) in webinterface I think I changed that years ago when first setting up IR Blaster and needing to send more commands, and it did the trick. I'm pretty sure IR Blaster is happy to send any commands that are in the LIRC files. Alternately, you can probably shut down SBS and edit prefs/plugin/irblaster.prefs by hand (the _command, _remote, _count, and _delay values). Once you have things set up, you can probably switch back to the official IR Blaster release. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79254 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] IR Blaster - Source Selection?
Using duet controller and SB3 receiver. From what I've read, it appears that IR Blaster is intended to send only power on/off and vol up/dwn commands. I need to send a source selection cmd to the AVR. 1. Is it possible to have IR Blaster provide a way to send more commands than the 4 commands indicated? 2. If not, would it be possible to "trick" IR Blaster to send a source selection IR cmd instead of one of the 4... e.g. have the Vol Down selection send AVR IR to select source 1 instead of AVR IR for vol down? I'd be willing to sacrifice AVR volume control to get source selection instead. -- Jayhawk Jayhawk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17810 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79254 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
