  1. I'm in the same boat, have a few installs coming up with Sky stream, I'm not expecting anyone to come out with a new driver anytime soon though, the best we can hope for is one of the UK based driver creators has a go but I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't even a public APi available for it yet. will have to make an IR driver for it for the time being 

  2. Another option could be to use a Triad one, you would need to still use a little pre amp or get a turntable with one built in but you could plug it in to the triad one and you would have a local amp that played through whatever speakers he wants to use with it plus it could be used as part of the whole home audio system. 

  3. There is also a post on the tech community pages about this issue at the moment with a few people with the same issue, not sure where they are located though, its definitely a known issue but tech support don't know whats causing it yet.

    doing investigation with tech yesterday and we discovered the touchscreens I have wont boot up on an Araknis switch or a cisco switch, I was asked to try poe injector the only one i had with me did poe and poe+ and still none of the screens worked. Tech told me that all the units they have received back with this issue would work when plugged into a pakedge SX switch or a "dumb" poe injector so I should try that. I took them home and tried them on a really cheap 48V POE injector and all three worked straight away. it seems to be an issue with the poe negotiation between the midboxes and certain brands of switches/poe injectors. I was told to keep hold of my faulty units for the moment while they figure out where exactly the issue is and what the fix will be, fingers crossed that doesn't take too long.

    Are you sure you aren't exceeding the overall PoE power budget for your 210?  While every port technically supports 802.3at/af, each Araknis 210 model also has a maximum PoE power budget that you can not exceed over all ports.  If you do, you would see issues like you are describing.  

    AN-210-SW-R-24-POE - 190W
    AN-210-SW-R-16-POE - 130W
    AN-210-SW-R-8-POE - 65W

    The T4 uses ~13W peak (but likely less in most conditions).  With 14 T4's, at peak, that is ~185W.  This is dangerously close to the 190W budget for the 24 port model.

    Appreciate you trying to help but that was the first thing I thought to check. You forgot to mention the 48 port model which has overall budget of 375W. On OVRC it say the switch is using 23% of POE power.

  5. I'm having the same issue, have a project that is using an araknis 210 switch which supposedly has full poe on all ports. Project has around 10 original T4s that have been installed and working for over a year. received 4 new screens last week for the same project and none of them powered up first time, I eventually got two working but could not get the other two working, RMA'd two and the tech said they had received quite a few reports of similar issues. While waiting for the replacements one of the new ones that I managed to get working failed and when I received the two replacements they had the same issue so I'm about to RMA another three, I think its an issue with midbox because the new screens all work fine on the old midboxes but the old screens  and the new screens don't work on the new midboxes.

  6. This can be tricky if the manufacturer hasn't made discrete input select commands. You could try googling for the IR codes for your model of TV, if you find a list see if there is any commands for HDMI1 and HDMI2, if there is you can copy and paste them in to the driver wizard and see if the work. If you can't find the IR codes you'll have to create a macro within the driver to change inputs. When you start creating a driver, near the start of the wizard on the driver properties page it will give you an option to select "discrete input selection" tick this box if you can find the IR codes for the inputs you want, if you can't find them leave that box unchecked and you'll have to configure the macro to change inputs later on in the wizard.

    @Thepritch88 how well does this solution work with your FireTV in your Control4 system? Are you happy with it? 

    It’s been rock solid since I installed it, no lag in commands and because it IR it’s extremely reliable. I would also recommend getting a usb hub with Ethernet, and plugging that in to the OTG cable then plug the flirc into the usb hub, you can then hardwire  your fire stick with Ethernet, and you have spare USB ports on the hub for things portable hard drives if you have content stores that you want to watch through the fire stick
