hometheaterguy Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 There is a Lumagen Radiance Pro in this system. This is a high end 4k video processor. The existing driver simply treats this device as an AV switch. It is, however, much more. I have written a new RS232 driver using the closest category (Receiver) and have included all the relevant functions with the intention that a GUI would be created by C4 with the appropriate Arrows-Enter-Menu, etc. However, when I click on the icon, all I get is a blank screen. Is there a way, for a novice, to create a GUI for this product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 You can't create guis. Guis are auto created based on the proxy used. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 No, no real gui for receiver is available. You'd have to re-create using a different proxy such as DVD or cable box I made that old driver - originally for the XD series - and I know their site hosts the 'dvd proxy' companion driver. Using that driver and an IR connection, you can bind it to an unused input and select it and have control over the functions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, all 8 inputs, it's HDMI only), on the Pro are being used. I think I try to create a new 232 driver using the DVD proxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 if you use an sr remote all of the buttons are mapped to the keys if you programmed them, but the touch screen ui is only meant to select sounds modes. and if it has a tuner will give you some basic tuner options when that is selected.

Could still use the old driver, just put a fake 2in 1 out switch in front of one input - that said, not stating you couldn't or shouldn't create a new driver.

hometheaterguy Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Well, I feel pretty stupid. I programmed a new driver, using the DVD proxy, and while it allowed me to set up all the HDMI input/outputs and gave me an acceptable GUI; C4 will not accept it as a switch. All codes and macros work, but C4 will not send the HDMI input switching commands to the Lumagen. I see now why the existing IR driver was tag on to the AV switch driver. Is a full blown A/V processor proxy with switching, and a GUI, a missing link in C4, or is this type of driver beyond my novice capabilities?

Cyknight Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 You'd have to create a receiver driver with a tied in dvd proxy - check for an example the Oppo drivers in the database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I opened up the OppO Gateway driver in Notepad and found the proxy statements. I also found that the OppO 93 driver had one of the tags referenced "5001". I did not find the Netflix or Vudu proxys. To create a similar driver, what driver creation program do I need to use? The "create a new driver" in composer does not appear to have any options to combine proxys.

Cyknight Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 The driver wizard is out dated, limited and not really good for anything but a basic IR driver (serial is also only one-way) - you'll have to dig into the more advanced driver creation using Driver Editor.
