I used the LILIN NVR/DVR IP driver from 5/2015

 

 

Hi @Cartnj

So were you able to navigate the on screen menu of the NVR? were you able to navigate it using the remote? were you able to play recorded videos?

Please refer to the attached image. I cannot add the device to assign an IP for the driver LILIN NVR/DVR IP from 5/2015.

Do you know the reason?

Please help if you can. Thanks! 

Hi @Crustyloafer

Yes.

I have entered default credentials. I used the driver you provided and I tried with the driver given in LILIN website. Yes I have read, and according to the documentation the Model im using (NVR3216) is not mentioned.

Please refer to the attached images.

So that means we cannot play what's recorded?

Hi @Crustyloafer

Thanks for the driver. I'm getting the video output on the screen but i cannot navigate the NVR using the remote. What could be the issue?

Hi @Cartnj

Did you find a control4 driver for this (NVR3216) ?

Hi @msgreenf,

Will you be able to help?

Thank You.

The discovered tab of composer pro indicates that the driver for LILIN NVR3216 is available. But when i try to add it i get an error message saying that the driver is not available. Please refer to the attached image. Please can someone help?

Are you just using the AVR as a HDMI switch then?

What soundbar is it and how are you planning to control it?

Hi @Crustyloafer

Yes, for the moment I'm using it as a HDMI switch. Still I have not planned the way of controlling the Soundbar. Can You please suggest ideas of controlling it?

Thank You.

1. Glad to hear it.

2. Where are the speakers that are connected to the AVR, are they in a different room to the TV with the soundbar? 

Hi @Crustyloafer

For the moment, I have not connected speakers to the AVR. I'm using a 8-Zone Audio Matrix Switch with a 8-Zone Power Amplifier for Audio purposes. For the moment I'm not using the AVR Speaker outputs. I guess i can connect the optical audio output (TV)  of receiver to the Sound bar directly ? Then I'll be able to control the volume of the sound bar ?

Thank You.

Hi @Crustyloafer

1) Thank You so much for replying. I did some experiments and realized that the remote gets disconnected when the Apple TV is restarted or if the power cable is disconnected. Once Apple restarts the AirPlay note will appear and when the 'guide' button of control4 remote is pressed, the control4 remote gets connected. So now it works.

2) I changed the options in the receiver and managed to get the audio output working. The reason to get the audio out of speakers is because the TV audio out is connected to a sound bar which provides excellent quality sound. The only issue now I'm facing is that I cant control the volume of the sound bar using the control4 remote. 

Thank You !

The setup connections are given below.

• EA-5 HDMI Output -> Denon Receiver HDMI Input (CBL/SAT)
•  Apple TV HDMI Output -> Denon Receiver HDMI Input (DVD)
• Denon Receiver HDMI Output -> Samsung One Connect HDMI Input 3
• All devices are connected to the same network via a switch

1) Issue 1

I'm using a 4K Apple TV and i used the Apple TV (Gen 4 and 4K) [IP] driver in my project. I followed the documentation provided under Apple Bridge and managed to enable Apple TV in control4 mobile app. I was able to control Apple TV using the control4 remote. But when i restarted Apple TV i lost the control of Apple TV using control4 remote. Then I deleted the system in my mobile app and recreated the system with my login details and was able to get control of it making sure the Apple TV selector is selected under driver properties. 

Is there a way to continuously keep the control4 remote connected to control Apple TV?

2) Issue 2

I can't get the sound output from Apple TV via the TV speakers. Hope the audio signal travels along the HDMI connection from Apple TV to the Denon Receiver and from there to the TV (Samsung One Connect)

Please someone help...

Thank You.
