Well, I need the bulbs to start with whatever  CT they had when turned off,  because I am tracking that on a per-room basis, where a keypad button  allows the user to select between a number of preset temperatures. I only send a "temperature set" command when the user chooses a new one, not at each switch-on because I have many bulbs and sending that to each of them (in addition to the turn on command) would overload the poor hub. Not to mention the unpleasant visual effect it would have.

Thanks

Hey guys,
resurrecting this thread because I have been porting the "now playing" driver to OS 3.1 / T3's and in the process I made it independent from any shared folder whatsoever.
The new version uses announcement agent or (preferred) popups to display the current song information, so no longer tied to screensaver (which was unreliable and appears to not work anymore on T3's anyway)
So basically the driver will display cover art and album/track info from the currently playing CD  on any enabled touchscreen in real time. Track changes, info changes.
Personally I find it very cool although I seem the only one left who runs 777 changers 🙂 
Please do not lecture me again on how CDs could be best stored on hard drives, etc - I'm too old for that, and right because I'm an old dog I love to keep my 777's chumming along! 
 
I also thought to share the driver here in case someone is curious. Hey if you still have CDs on  777 changers you will love this.

I am testing the Zappiti 4k HDR and love the interface, Alan did a great job as usual, but the movie playing / not playing events are unreliable, they fire for no reason, both while watching a movie and when player is idle... so any theather-like automation based on those event is not working properly at this time, until they fix the problem in Zappiti video.

Hi guys,
I have a 777 disc changer attached to the system and I have cover art etc displaying fine on my touch screens and remotes, however the "now playing" screen (which I thought should show artist/song info) shows the changer commands instead (numeric keypad, arrow keys etc) is this normal?
Also the screen saver on the touch screen doesn't show any song information, just "disc changer" when I select the "display media" option.
Now, the information is in there, why it doesn't show up?
 
Thanks in advance...

Here we go....  a custom button that calls an announcement to show what's playing when pressed,
plus an automatic announcement when the track changes with auto dismissal.
The whole information is taken from a variable exported by my driver.
Now looking to integrate the cover art into the announcement.... :-)
