^Thanks again Cyk. You are always helpful. And C4rVA. I'll investigate the suggestions further.. Cheers.

One of the major flaws in Control4 programming, or the way it can be set up is the inflexibility of always having to pick a single end point for audio. I'm probably not making sense here because I don't fully understand the intricacies of why this can't be done (even though my dealer has done a great job explaining).. so I'll use some examples Example one. The Linn/C4 and Sonos/C4 driver. When combining the Linn audio source with say a Sonos source in the one room, in programming, the dealer is forced to chose one volume control over the other.. This then remans fixed and can't be selected and swapped on the fly by the end user.. Example two. When using the Recluse Oppo driver, the composer pro programmer is forced to chose one output for audio into the receiver: either multichannel *or* HDMI. Again this is fixed within programming. The end user then can't swap say multichannel for music vs PCM for movie audio... This becomes a real practical issue for the end user. In example one. Sonos volume control becomes important when using Sonos as the source. So there is a need to be able to switch to this in programming when Sonos is selected as the source.. It seems this can't be done. In example two. For music, multichannel analog audio from the Oppo is way better than PCM. But when forced to remain on multichannel analog for movies, lipsync becomes a problem with the Oppo. There is a different delay for discs vs say Netflix streams.. Again it's inflexible in programming if you can't associate independent audio endpoints. Am I making any sense? This is darn annoying and the only way I have been told to get around this is to set up two "virtual" rooms within the one actual physical room... So what gives? And is it possible to fix this in Control4 software with a firmware upgrade? Or is this a permanent constraint?

As always, with all these movie database solutions. Doesn't matter what they are MyMovies, JRiver, XBMC, Plex whatever... nobody ever announces the *one* big omission. Apple DRM. So from the lack of anything said in the OP, I am assuming you clever lads's at EV, haven't managed a workaround on this (yet). I don't suppose you could somehow integrate your excellent AppleTV1 "solution" and get a C4<>MM media library populating coverart and directing movie streaming from that? :cool:

Whilst I think this is awesome and I have spent hundreds with you guy's on several of your other drivers, on this one, I support DD. I use *their* terrific Dune driver. I'm a loyal bastard. James has helped me out several times before, so count me out on this one

That's a bit cheeky.. Funny how your MM management driver only works with the corresponding EV player's driver and not the DD ones.. Have you "locked" this down?.. or is there more to this?

Sorry to keep you up so late. But you're definitely d'man Better send an app request to that iphone coffee machine

No. (But I have one of those as well)... mainly how to integrate my three hardwired HVAC systems see: http://www.c4forums.com/viewtopic.php?id=12330

c4UG, care to shine some light on my bringing all my TStat's into C4 thread. I'd appreciate your input. Thanks

Hey Neil. Congrats on offering this ! That's fantastic

Ryan. 1/ What is the role of the usb port? 2/ Aren't the audio outs of these controllers RCA analogue? ie I thought the HC200 has a DAC within, so you can connect it up to an amp and play music from say the C4 ipod doc, or another audio source like a cable TV box as long as it is connected into one of the C4 controllers on the network? Is this correct. (P.S) I understand they don't do the same video steaming....
