This is the driver info. This is the key assignment page. I've assigned the Back command to both the Prev & Back buttons.

Unsure. Once it became clear that I could not solve it myself I got my dealer involved and he figured out what driver to use.

I wanted to provide some follow-up here about what worked for my system, so that if someone else has this issue they have at least one reasonably detailed approach (there may be others). The driver that I had on my system worked for the Roamio, but did not work for the Edge, since it didn't have an assignable Back command, and none of the keys were hard-coded for Back. The driver to use is called "TiVo (2.8.1) Roamio/Model 3+", version 6 with a modified date of 5/18/2016. That version has a Back command that can be assigned to whatever key you want. It didn't work right out of the box - but did work once I assigned it.

And you’re saying that your back arrow works without you needing to do anything special. Okay, it must be something that I’m doing wrong. Thanks.

Not sure what that means - since it doesn't work for the reason that I said. Have you gotten an Edge to work with C4? If not, can someone with a Tivo Edge please let me know how you have gotten it to work?

But the left arrow no longer takes you back to the previous screen. Tivo changed the behavior of that in TE4, which the Edge uses. There is now a special back button. What button should I use to get back to the previous screen in the Edge (or other TE4 machine)?

My Tivo Roamio has gone bad, and I have replaced it with a Tivo Edge. I was able to make the C4 driver work with the Edge by using the IP address, but Tivo has changed the behavior of the back arrow. That no longer takes you back to the previous screen. There is now a Back button that does that. I thought that perhaps the C4 back arrow did the right thing - but it does not. I don't see any way to map a key to the back button in the HE driver options. How are people getting around that for the Edge?

I got it working - wasn't hard once I understood the problem. I'll complete what I did here for others who want to do something similar. As previously mentioned, I added a 1 second of delay for the "Video Selected Changed" trigger before doing any changes - otherwise, my original programming was fine For the initial room power on, I triggered on the room power change variable, waited 15 seconds, then look for power state to be on (based on my setup - your delay might be different), then did the same if/then as before. Everything works great.

That was it, thanks. It was racing. I added a second of delay and it works as expected - at least once the room is already on. I need to find a way to delay more when the room is first turned on. And, yes, I know that this is a hack. Once I have it working the way that I want, I'll have my remote dealer bind things properly. But while I'm waiting for that appt I can use my system with the new gear. Appreciate the quick help.

It is not the fault of the installer. It is working as initially installed. I have made some changes, and I have a remote dealer do the necessary D4 SW changes when required based on any new equipment that I get. Things such as adding new drivers, changing inputs, etc. That works fine. I just want to do some experiments with some new equipment that I am putting in to get around some limitations. So, just so I understand. If I program the TV to a different HDMI input after the initial selection is made, should that not work? If so, I'm unclear why not? All I'm doing is programming a device to do something.

I am doing some research with different approaches to get around various limitations on my equipment (receiver not providing DD out to TV, TV not passing through DTS, Beam only accepting DD & DTS). Once I have it working, I can have my remote dealer do what I need within C4 if necessary. It isn't feasible to have the dealer get involved for the experiments, since I am unsure what will work. It's a pretty sad state of affairs that the new gear doesn't all work together - but I believe that I can figure it out. So in this case, I am trying to override the normal C4 programming in the system. It seems to work most of the time - but for whatever reason it is not working in a reliable way for this. I thought that HE was meant to allow me to do this kind of programming. Is there another way to do this that I am not thinking of?

I have a basic question. I am trying to set the HDMI inputs on my TV based on the video selection in a room. I have 3 types: Tivo, Roku, & BluRay. I am using the "Video Selection Changed" event for the room, and the following programming: If Room Selected Video Device is Tivo Set input to HDMI 1 on Room -> Television Stop If Room Selected Video Device is Roku Set input to HDMI 2 on Room -> Television Stop ...etc Sometimes this goes to the proper HDMI input, and sometimes it does not. Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks, Larry

I have a Sonos Beam that is controlled by the TV when it is on. Sometimes I want to use the Beam to stream music, and the TV cannot control the volume. I have an IR remote right now that works, but I'm wondering if there is some way for the Control4 remote to control the Beam volume directly when the TV is off.

Got it. My goal is pretty simple. My receiver defaults to sending audio to the speakers when it turns on, and I want it to send it to the TV so that my soundbar will output the audio. I just need to change the output when the room goes on. I don’t care if it also does the same thing when it powers off - in this case it would be even better if it remembered the setting, but it doesn’t.

Thanks - that helps. When you invoke a power on activity by using the video change event, I assume that the actions happen after it has turned on all of the devices in the room? And since a power off event also invokes a video change, do the additional programmed actions happen before or after it initiates the room power off?
