    Spotify constantly repeating 1 song

    in Driver Discussion

    Posted

    I have Spotify up running fine. After a few days I gets a bug where it will repeat 1 song forever. 

    I start a playlist from either my phone or the saved preset. It plays this song fine but then it plays next a single song forever. In this case it's always big energy. 

    No matter what I do it's the same. If the driver is removed and put on it runs fine for a few days but then it finally settles on a song and it will never play anything else.

    Control4 and MQTT?

    Hi, does the driver work with the newest Shelly2 driver 1.9.6? I have been having trouble with lights cutting out and the latest driver seems to have fixed it. 

    I can get all the status of the lights from within the drive but no control. The hub can control them fine just not C4.

    Hi

    Its a pb4ksha (https://www.bunnings.com.au/arlec-grid-connect-smart-4-outlet-powerboard_p0161023) which reading cannot be currently be flashed using Tuya-Convert

    It can only be used with Tuya Smart which there is a plugin for Homebridge for 

    TuyaWebPlatform

    @milo526/homebridge-tuya-web v0.7.1

     

    So now you say its a MQTT Broker the property "MQTT Server" should be that of the Hub as I have been running an independent instance of Mosquitto?

    Awesome thanks, I now have it running. With the hub is the IOT_Gateway driver supposed to see all items in the hub or only select ones? I have some powerboards that have to use Tuya as they cannot be flashed with Tasmota. They are working via the hub but do not seem to be discovered in the gateway.

    I have put the hub pin into the "Assist Pin Code" property. 

    Thanks

    Hi 

    Are there any instructions to install the hub? I am trying to link to home assistant. 

    I have set up a new Ubuntu 18.04 VM and put the ip and credentials into the actions menu but don't seem to see anything else happening. I think I am missing sometheing

    Thanks

    @alanchow is the issue you described causing multiple pushover messages to be sent? 

    My IFTTT has been flawless for over a year until about 1 week ago.

    I have an event triggered in IFTTT when I leave home to send a Pushover notification to C4 to trigger an event back to IFTTT to send a notificaiton to my phone telling me if the garage door is closed and the alarm is on. 

    I can see in IFTTT the single event being triggered leaving home 2 days ago but C4 recieved the pushover 6 times over 2 days causing several notifications to my phone. 

    I also had an event from google assistant to open the garage door and it recieved 2 pushover notification in the middle of the night to open the door the other night. Needless to say I have disabled all pushover comands in the mean time.

    Not sure why it was in the screenshot but FPS isn't 25 but can confirm it is 30.

    I am running the audio from a Kodi box into a Yamaha amp and then into the encoder.  My Yamaha amp can do 500ms delay but Kodi can also force a delay. I am seeing if the Yamaha delay is ok (as it should be 600ms) or the Kodi delay.  I am doing this as I have 5.1 in this particular room. All other rooms I am using spare Cat5 cables to send the audio back to a C4 8x8 matrix amp therefore the delay is imposed from the video signal.

    I tried disabling RTSP but I am still getting close to a 900ms delay in audio and especially when navigating Kodi is painful

    Hi

    Just to confirm I have tired the RTSP and yes have the issues with not starting the stream. I switched to TS but get a 1 second lag which is beyond the audio delay of my audio controller. The RTSP was about 0.6s

    @videostorm Can you confirm the below HTTP you mean the TS in the image of the setup page below

    I've used URay several times before, their RTSP streams have problems, so use the TS stream if going this route.

    I have just set up my system with a couple Uray encoders. I have initially set up using RTSP and only about a day in, what are the problems you have had? Is there any differences with using TS? ie lag or quality? 

    Vera Security sensors

    Hi, sorry to dredge up an old topic but but I have a question about the virtual switches for @sonic30101.

     

    My Motion sensors when bound to a contact sensor also don't work in C4. I see them tripping when I look at the debug log in Composer but the bind to the contact sensor doesn't work. So I looked into the virtual switch you mentioned above . I have installed the app that is called Virtual Switch, I have it working form a scene but when I try add the virtual switch into C4 via the relay driver I get the error "Device is not a switch" when I try set the room and device name.

    I have tried playing with the Params in Vera for the Virtual Switch with no luck.

    Can you confirm the virtual switch you used and any settings to make it recognized in C4.

     

    Thanks

    Videostorm & ARC

    in Third Party Hardware

    Hi

    I am planning on converting my HDBaset matrix to a Videostorm Netplay system. I have a couple questions hopefully other C4 users might be able to help with around ARC.

    Very simply my system is a living room with a centralized 5.1 amp, media room with a centralized 5.1 amp, 2 other rooms with TVs and 2 channel ceiling speakers run by a C4 AMP and then various rooms with speakers only in the same C4 AMP.

    I plan on connecting TV's using Amazon Fires. Can someone confirm how this would work with audio return. From what I understand the Netplay app runs in the background? Does it pick up the ARC channel from the HDMI and cast it into the manager as needed? Also what if the TV doesn't have ARC over HDMI, are there options?

    For example when watching standard over the air TV I want to cast the audio back to a 5.1 channel AMP in my distribution rack. With Videostorm I assume I would need a decoder for each amp in my rack.

    Based on the above I have 2 dedicated amps which makes sense to get 2 HDMI decoders but then I also have a 8x8 C4-16AMP3-B matrix for various room speakers. Can I modify the C4 matrix to work or am I better to scrap it and upgrade to a videostorm amp matrix.

    Thanks
