i have, direct serial control with the coloronix unit being the only thing in the chain. i will contact john, thanks for the tip

so, it's not the driver, it has to be some incompatibility with the light and the engine. i connected serial to the box directly and gave commands, and the thing is crazy. however, if i set all channels to 100% (F000@255:000) then the light works, but flickers with the white LED on. as soon as i change any channel down from 255, then the light goes bonkers :/

hey @jackstone, your recommendations and solutions, not to mention the driver(s), have been working wonderfully so far! however, i have finally run into an issue i'm confused by for reference, i'm using the response box (which now comes with both an XLR-3 and an XLR-5 output, and they have told me they're outputting the same commands to both XLR outputs. i have recently purchased some recessed indoor lighting (fwiw, coloronix 3" rgbw downlights). initially, i added on the decoder on the coloronix unit (built in) as the last daisy chain on my existing PX24500 decoder chain. there was no function. then, i connected the coloronix decoder to the existing XLR-5 output i'm using with the same cable, and getting a weird issue. when i try and use your dimmer drivers, the light just flickers and is seemingly random, for hours. when i go to the RS232 DMX Engine driver and choose "all channels on" it works just fine. i have verified the light works as the decoder has a built in autonomous dmx engine that you can engage via various dip switch settings, and all function perfectly as well. additionally, i have installed a dmx terminator (home-made, 1/4w 120ohm resistor, tested on a calibrated fluke to 124ohm, shorting pins 1/2 on the RJ45 connector). i'm using high quality XLR to RJ45 cable, and it works just fine with the px24500 decoders on my outdoor lighting. do you have any ideas or suggestions? these coloronix units are very high quality, and i've yet to contact the mfg (as it's saturday, and the light seems to work as it's supposed to, the hiccup is the driver). thanks in advance

that's awesome! when's the c4forums party at your place?

hey @jackstone, what do you think about DMX512-4DP (http://www.amazon.com/Channel-Digital-Display-Decoder-Controller/dp/B00WG3HV4W). looks like the same product but supports 4ch. i'm doing a decent outdoor install with all RGBW LED lights, i think this would work better. what are your thoughts?

interesting, i will check into the API. right now, if you go to a show, it will list all of the seasons, then there's a shuffle button, where it will shuffle all episodes in all seasons. --edit, this is present in roku plex client, from what im finding out, this isn't present in all clients (and i can't verify amazon player, so i ordered one ha).

hey @alanchow this is an awesome driver, really makes the c4 media experience better! (and makes my T3s much more usable haha) one question/comment/suggestion, it doesnt look like there's a way to shuffle a show. normally, when we turn on a show, we go to roku > plex > the show > shuffle. would there be a way to invoke this in your driver?
