  1. Hear hear! Strongly recommend OS3 and it is simple enough to switch between properties in one app.
  2. Thanks! I m using a USB stick and have tried rebooting the controller (hosting the stick). No luck. What is weird is that the date screensaver is also not working on the T4s. Nor is a custom screensaver using album artwork (and that is Tidal streaming) so basically whenever one of the T4s goes into screensaver mode, it goes to a blank screen. And yet the T3s work perfectly. Quite bizarre!
  3. I’m seeing a few issues on the screensaver agent on the latest OS. Anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions. At both my residences, I can’t view the photos in the Media tab for the Screensaver. I get an invalid location message. Which is nonsense as I can in fact add photos (via the media tab) and they get added to the screensavers and I see them appearing on my touchscreen. Much more seriously, at my Beach house, I have both T3s and T4s and following the first hard reboot after the latest OS update from a few weeks ago, the T4s have stopped showing any screensavers. When a screensaver is present (be it photos, custom with album artwork or date and time), the T4s simply show a blank screen. I have tried the obvious things (rebooting the T4s, a complete rack reboot and refreshing navigators) - none of these work. I also checked an EA controller OSD and the screensaver is working fine there. As I have more than one T4 in the setup, it can’t / shouldn’t be hardware. I haven’t checked the other AA and core controllers but assume they all work fine. Would really appreciate any suggestions as I did the reboot this morning and I already have family members moaning about the “digital photo frames” not working. One doesn’t realise how cool it is until it vanishes. As I’ve not had this problem at my main residence (which also has T4s in the setup), I have to assume that something about my Beach House project is unique and creating the issue in OS3.4.1. The only thing I can think of is the fact that I have T3s and T4s. I don’t have any T3s at my main residence. Either that or some software patch was pushed in the last few days and broke my T4s and I will find the same issue when I go back to my main residence if I do a reboot… TIA
  4. Mine seems to auto update but it may also be my dealer dialling in and updating it fairly regularly
  5. The colour buttons are programmed at room level (choosing the room on the left hand side of composer) and then there is a drop down menu (“command”, from memory) and you choose “red” or “blue” etc. in this drop down menu.
  6. Yes - or at least there used to be one available on the C4 web-site. I must confess to not having looked at it for 7 or 8 years.
  7. Why not set the driver to auto update? I’m pretty sure that the DS2 driver is one of the C4 database drivers that supports this feature? Not that I am necessarily an advocate of this…
  8. I have a custom button that reboots my DS2 using programming. It works perfectly. I am not at home right now to check how the programming works but there is no external hardware involved so it is either a reboot command on the DS2 driver itself or one of these controller reboot drivers (everyone had them at one stage - HouseLogix, Annex4 via their Link driver, Driver Central via its cloud driver etc.) using the IP address to reboot it. I will check when I can.
  9. With Tidal merging its 2 paid for tiers, will users who were on the lower tier and will now gain access to high definition audio have to change anything on the Control4 side of things or will the improved audio simply be heard from 10 April onwards?
  10. This! There are now 4 or 5 responses posted that make so sense as the original post is totally different from what it used to be.
  11. Nope. Didn’t worry me until I saw this post and then it was more of a challenge to see if I could get it working right on my setup
  12. A couple of thoughts: 1. Make sure you don’t have a default volume set for the room if you are using the AVRs default volume. 2. Similarly make sure you don’t have a default volume set via a room control driver. 3. Try changing the default volume on the AVR. I had a similar problem to you where (for some reason), using a default starting volume of 50 on my Denon AVR, it was displaying as 49.5 and it was always 0.5 out from Control4. This has never really bothered me. But I fiddled today and seem to have fixed it. I changed the AVR default starting volume to 60 (I also enabled max volume at 80 - which I had not done previously). Everything worked perfectly thereafter. I suspect that the issue and I may be totally wrong relates to the AVR range being 0-98 and not 0-100 and the AVR does som funny calculation when setting the default starting volume and occasionally gets the rounding wrong. I am not sure if that is on what it sends to C4 or what it displays but I actually suspect the latter as I was seeing 49.5 , 50.5 etc. now I see 60, 61 etc and can go all the way up or down without a problem.
  13. In fact, doing that, may well create a loop that sends your volume rapidly up to maximum volume which could create chaos… Something is very wrong and I would remove that line of code before things become much worse.
  14. I had a few similar issues after updating to the second release of 3.4.1 but got rid of them by doing a hard reboot of all secondary controllers. I still have one media related issue (documented elsewhere) but don’t think it is related to your problem in anyway. I also experienced a corruption (impacting digital media) on one of my secondary controllers following the update to the first release of OS 3.4.1 and my dealer had to reflash the OS on that controller.
