Destroyer of Worlds

Once in every 90 days or so I get an unresponsive Pandora service on C4. If I select Pandora it loads my stations in the app, and spins and comes back..no Pandora is playing in any room. In Composer HE properties show I'm logged in. I can go to Pandora.com and log in and play locally (e.g. on PC speakers). Solution: 1. In your C4 App see if you can get a different station on Pandora to play (this would be my scenario as I programmed a station to load each morning for a wake-up and it stopped working). 2. If you can get another station, go back and play the station you wanted (mine just worked) 3. You are done. I will say that one time I saw the IDs for the stations changed, so in programming in HE, you might have to re-add the selected station as Pandora does re-created station IDs and that's how C4 stores them. That wasn't the case this time though.

Not a dealer, but a home user and I have access to an NK-1 with 3 AP's (mix of WX and WKs). I really am frustrated by it's continuous issues: 1. Old SSIDs (even if you delete them and their security profile your wifi devices still see them even after reboots) 2. I'm stuck now with guest wifi working, but no main wifi (stays as connected, no internet). 3. My dealer is fairly responsive in general, but during any holidays it's a week or so. So I've done a ton of learning and get how the NK-1 gets it's LAN config, it's AP's associated to it, then security profiles drive the main and guest Wifis. But the above issues and weird connectivity (I'm on 3rd floor office but my phone connects to guest access from 2nd, not 3rd floor AP) are just bugging me. I had much better wifi pre-C4 using mesh router from Google.

Control4 is still too narrow-focused on US. For those of us in the US who have Euro cylinder locks from new home construction, well, C4 is great for rest of house, but for Danalock v3, Nuki2 have bizzarro to no compatibility. I'm therefore not looking for C4 integration with my smartlock. Gonna go with +1 app to control it or use Google hub max for it.

Danalock V3 touts Z-Wave as well as Zigbee btw. https://danalock.com/products/danalock-v3-smart-lock/

Plex also has DLNA if you're using that for your NAS.

I have this issue Pandora only, and I use Android phone app for OS3. Same scenario...it shows "playing now" in the Pandora stations but nothing plays.

Tried this and then needed Pushover on top of this. Complete turn off to be sold on one thing then given a requirement of another license cost.

Doubt it. Dealer had multiple texts from other clients showing same issue (no control in app, website acts like you have no subscription, name, equipment, etc. and in about 30 minutes resolves itself). I don't believe in coincidences that 5-6 people all have firewall issues. Dealer said he feels C4 is doing some things that are causing this to happen.

No, it's C4 connectivity at it again... got it back working in about 25 min so we're looking at ~30 minutes of app being non-responsive and the C4 login spinning because it doesn't connect and even shows it doesn't have your information in your profile or devices. Once the C4 website starts working (e.g., shows your info) again, the app does in about 5 more minutes.

Now having issues with no one's app able to connect to a room. We had music playing and so that continues to play, but cannot control anything. And again, logging into Control4.com just spins. Definitely some intermittent issues happening these days.

Had 3 sessions going and boom...all turned off. Not really, just no audio. Amps still on, internet fine, EA-5 reachable. Music scanning works. Just no source actually plays out music to speakers now. Pinged dealer and waiting...also noted that logging into control4.com just spins.

Getting a lot of latency and/or no connections when using the 3.0 app for my now upgraded 3.0 system. Every time the app is opened, it displays "Waiting for" message for at least 30 seconds. Now, my wife wanted to look for her music stations and it flat out timed out as system unreachable. Anyone else getting this level of latency?

Outside of projector housing (as we intend to have ours on the top of our bulkhead with nice weather, and just take down inside when done), was wondering about conveying a movie's picture to the projector, and sound to the EA5 or audio matrix so it can be directed to the outdoor speakers C4 controls. What are my options over wifi (no ethernet run, just power) for projector, source as local device that can push audio separate or play from networked device (DLNA, Plex), and again picture to projector, audio to C4 room audio.

Got Composer HE 3.0 and it's backward compatible and looks literally the same (no UI changes to Composer, sigh...when will it get out of the 90s!??!?!). As we have a mega party going on this weekend here, I'll defer the EA5 upgrade, but my dealer says good things about it.

Does that mean C4 will work with Google Nest Hub Max? I got the Chowmain IFTTT driver so I'm really hopeful that might work if main integration doesn't as the Alexa devices are just not doing it for me lately and GNHM has some promise.

I like this as SnapAV makes a lot of components that are in typical C4 rack builds like switches, rack itself, etc and this could lead to some better supported security products like cameras.

On 2.10.6 and problem keeps occurring as 'Scan Now' does nothing (aka Director Status: Idle). Used Space for Media Graphics: 240 / 1000 MB Total Used Space: 2481 / 5920 Files to Scan: Devices: Networked File Storage (checked); Extensions: MP3 (Audio), FLAC (Audio). [CIFs share from FreeNAS to IP of the controller has always worked and we can play music just fine from music library] Checked 1st and 4th options (Use Online Media Lookup... and Update media database.... I was trying to add some mediation music for bedtime and though it's in the audio share I've always used, Control4 Composer 2.10.6 does not scan.

I'm using Plex on my Sony TV with the Plex server on FreeNAS. I used DLNA from Plex but it lacks search (Plex's DLNA client doesn't allow searching) so when in C4 I want to use DLNA I can select songs to play in a room, but cannot search. I was told to get Plex Full but for $200 and the thought that Plex 'could' add search in DLNA it doesn't seem justified.

And I wonder if the # of directories is large (mine has 8.8k) does that factor? Meaning should I reduce directories from Lossless/Artist/Album/.mp3 to Lossless/*.mp3 and do away with artist and album folders?

And where exactly is this mm.db file as my scanning stopped yet again and the buttons are useless (both the Scan and the custom one I did for scanning in Director).

Uh oh, there goes ? and the Mysterians

Interesting. Front of my Wattbox says WB-600-FP in upper right, but the back in upper right says WB-700-IPV-12. I got this box in November, 2017 so doubt it's going to be an issue in any case.

I'm going with Simplisafe in their 2018 line. Rationale is I really don't need it integrated with C4 (which would be defeated if they cut the internet) and in 2018 the whole scheme was redone for encryption so no more PIN intercepts and firmware upgrades so patches can be applied.
