hello. i am a new user of control4. not sure if this is the right place to ask this so forgive me if this is the wrong place.
hey so i was wondering if anyone else is using control4 with logitech media server. i know there's no plugin/api here but was wondering if anyone was using control4 to turn their system on to listen to the lms endpoints, how they have it set up. my main issue is that due to no integration, it's really a "dumb" screen.
so i have 7 end points: a transporter and 6 touches via an array of audio matrix's. so in control4, when i am selecting which end point to listen to, the issue i am having is that there's no indication of which end point is already playing and where. so it's a guessing game. i know it would be impossible to show in control4 what actual music is playing, but i would think there is at least a way to see on the page what end point is playing and where it's playing? maybe through custom or experience buttons (just saying this via googling)? maybe there's some sort of script that control4 can send out to the ip addresses of the touches to see if they are actively playing? not sure but thought i would try...
what i would think control 4 could show me is in the screen that i am selecting which audio source, so under "listen," is there a way to change the icon to like an icon with a checkmark to designate which one is "on?" An end user had to press the music source earlier to play from a different room. if something was playing in a room and now that room is off, and no other rooms are on, the safe assumption is that the end point isn't playing... it would also be great if it could tell me which room it's currently playing in. if i am already in a room that music is playing, it shows the source at the bottom which is great. but when you're in a room that isn't playing, it shows nothing. you have to hit the "session" button to see, then remember what is playing where, hit the back button, then chose what to do. that to me seems like a ridiculous workflow.
is there a way to show the session information at the bottom of the screen of any room? and show it relative to what you are trying to do. for example, in a room, if you can only listen to music and not watch apple tv, then just show the current session information of what can be listened to only. also, if a source is not available in that room, no need to show the session information of a source you cannot select...
thanks in advance...
