ziocan Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Hello, do you know whether it's possible to configure composer pro (2.x) not to use an SSL connection when connecting to controller? I remember that earlier releases (2.5) tried SSL first then falled back to non SSL if the first failed. Is there a configuration option to tell composer to directly use the non SSL port (5020)? This is for a troubleshooting of course. Thanks in advance Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Of course it's just troubleshooting. And no. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziocan Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hey guys don't need your lecture, I'm using Control4 since 4 years now, write drivers for it, etc I would like to understand why I can't open my 3.1 project with Composer 2.9 and I believe the openssl version installed on the controller has disabled weak SSL ciphers that are used by pre-3.0 composers. I already have enabled port 5020 on controller to be accessed from network but only 2.5.3 connects, not later versions... So perfectly legit question isn't it. Thanks for your time Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Not really. Control4 has increased security and there are major changes in how is 3 and os 2 work. So it's never gonna happen.You are basically asking why I can't run win 10 programs on XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziocan Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 I do know it is not supported but the upgrade to 3.1 had left my cover art behind so I was trying to open the project with a previous version of composer. From controller log I see that when I connect with 2.9 to the 3.1 controller there is an SSL cipher mismatch error and I think that's the only issue we have when trying to use a pre-3.0 composer (as you said it's due to the new openssl library that refuses weak ciphers). So I wanted to try and avoid SSL but it seems all recent releases of composer do not try to use the non-secure port anymore. I recovered the cover art in the meanitime by unpacking the project file manually, extracting the images and uploading them to the controller. But still the curiosity remained.

Cyknight Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 So in 4 years you haven't figured out that you can simply export the media library in composer from a back-up and load it in again? Or you don't have a back-up? Or to simply ask how to recover what you need and you would have gotten the above answers?

ziocan Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 In 4 years I have seen countless bugs in various versions of composer pro, that's what I have seen , my dear. Including the latest: cover art gone MIA while upgrading. I first tried to open the project in virtual director on 3.1.0 and got this: So: I tried Composer pro 2.9.1 (the OS I was running before upgrading to 3.1.0) but when I try to launch the virtual director it crashes: Then I tried 2.10.1 and the virtual director did not crash, but when loading the project still: So, I could not open the pre-upgrade version of the project because no version of composer pro virtual director would open it. I do have a spare HC-800 and probably I could have installed that with 2.9.1 and then could have exported from there, but unpacking the project file was faster and easier than the "official" process. FYI I have backups of after every minor change I did to the project. Oldest is from mid 2018. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
