EventGhost

Here is a script for testing the "Active Speaker"

You need to set your IPADDRESS in the script near the top.

# stand alone yamaha sender receiver to do testing.
# this one is checking the "Active Speakers" in "System" Get_Info
from xml.dom import minidom
import httplib
import socket

#Manual ...

I am unsure at this time as to why you are getting the error.

As for checking if Zone B is ON, you should have a Zone B category and check the power info. If you don't have a Zone B or Zone 2 then the auto population of available functions of the receiver is not getting the information. This might ...

The code if you used the macros would be:

eg.plugins.YamahaRX.GetInfo('Input Selection', 'Main Zone')
eg.plugins.EventGhost.DumpResult()

if putting it in a script do something like:

VarInput = eg.plugins.YamahaRX.GetInfo('Input Selection', 'Main Zone')
if VarInput == "":
#do whatever
else ...

objects.append(["Input Selection", "Main Zone"])

Is what you need for source.

For figuring out any others you can make a new macro of the "Get Info"

Then afterwords right click and do copy as python.

In any text editor or script paste it.

Example:
eg.plugins.YamahaRX.GetInfo('Input Selection ...

I have been looking and have discovered answers on both for the scene information and digital audio signal input.

For the scene information I never did implement any code for it. I found my old notes on why I didn't finish, and it is because the scene presets are just a set of variables that are to ...

objects.append(["Input Selection", "Main Zone"])
is what you want for the input. I tested this and it works.

objects.append(["Scene", "Main Zone"])
The scene part is not working with the get info on mine, I might have never checked if that worked on the newer models. I will be checking on that ...

There are lots of examples out there that use the PyWin32 wrapper. I use it to monitor a few specific events. Like was said earlier, this needs to be put in a thread. The other issue that I have run into is permissions. In the Windows Logs I can access System and Application, but not Security. I ...

So for the second time I have lost valuable data to my Windows 10 computer deciding to update and restart on the concept of "Active Hours". If you don't know what I am talking about, just look it up. This is my solution to the computer randomly restarting on me.

Just change the registry keys for ...

jachin99,

As far as I know there is no way of checking if there is an active video signal on a particular input. Likewise I don't think there is a way to know if there is an active audio on a particular input.

For the HDMI CEC it is up to the manufacturer of either side of the connection to ...

I guess I am not sure what you want. If you want the worker thread to output the the information and THEN have the other script pick it up and tell you the individual speakers (subwoofers) are and put them in to you variables. This can be done in something like this.

the script:
speakers ...

Mastiff,

I just updated the plugin on github, this will resolve the intermittent connection issues without causing errors on external scripts.

In your script the PreOut level of sub_1 is variable eg.globals.Subwoofer15

Call the whole string to check what it is.
Ex. print eg.globals.Subwoofer15

I added the PreOut Levels and worked fine.

import threading
import time
#eg.TriggerEvent(suffix, payload,prefix)
#could call this from the start of eg.
#should delay as to make sure the plugin was started.

#class worker(threading.Thread):

def worker(element, zone, kill=False):
#setup ...

So the error occurred in the plugin when the script was calling it. The plugin did not get a proper response from the receiver. It either timed out (which I thought the plugin would not throw the error if that happened), or got back a garbage response and could not parse it. If you keep getting this ...

I just got a chance to finish the scripts. This is a little closer and in some ways easier than what I had years ago. First script allows you to add as many "objects" you want to monitor. The second script kills them all.

import threading
import time
#eg.TriggerEvent(suffix, payload,prefix)
#could ...

Here is a very crude example using the built in Get Info action.

import threading
import time
#eg.TriggerEvent(suffix, payload,prefix)
#could call this from the start of eg.
#should delay as to make sure the plugin was started.

def worker(element, zone, PreviousVar="", kill=False):
if ...
