OnkyoISCP plugin

[blaher]

Re-install has not fixed it.

But I don't think it will work either. Because, can you explain how the PWR01 will work if the receiver is in standby? For my understanding, if the Onkyo is in standby, all connections are closed and no new can be established until the Onkyo is turned on. correct?

No, even when it's in standby, if you have the remote network part enabled, it will listen for signals. I can turn mine on from with the PWR01 command from standby. Have you tried doing it via the webpage IP of your Onkyo?

[Owel]

I will try it!
I've only entered ip, netmask and gateway in the onkyo setings. Is there another thing i have to configure?

My NR818 has a Network Standby feature... if it is on, Ethernet is always on and listening for commands... thus, when you send any command it automatically turns on the receiver.

[Owel]

Yeah, my 808 hast this network standby feature.
And it was turned off
I suggest that when I had changed network settings (IP had changed), the the network standby feature turned off automatically.

So I turned it on, and now the Plugin works as expected.
With the change I've made, the plugin meets perfectly my needs.

Good to hear!
I'll apply the pull request as soon as I find some time, stay tuned!

[Livin]

love this plugin... working flawlessly for me for a week now.

let me know when you get it to read from the XLS and I'll test it. I'd really like to automate more things for the Onkyo integrating it with my MiCasaVerde Vera to create Scenes but I'm waiting for the XLS integration.

[abraxxa]

There won't be any XLS integration because XLS is a closed-source format with licensing from Microsoft.

There won't be any XLS integration because XLS is a closed-source format with licensing from Microsoft.

if you want to make the interface CSV that would be great since XLS, and all known spreadsheet formats, can be exported to CSV.

BTW... 99+% of all business spreadsheets are in XLS format, the 'format' and interface to XLS/XLSX is published and not closed in any way - hundreds of thousands of applications interface into XLS and have been for many years. The only thing 'closed' is the source code for Excel. Microsoft does not protect or limit anyone use of XLS files in any way.

I worked for Microsoft years ago, very familiar with this subject

just a note:

I have messured the current consumption while network standby feature enabled and disabled.

Result:
network standby feature enabled 50W in standby
network standby feature disabled 0W in standby (0W is not possible, but i think it is ~ 1-2W)

So just for turning the Onkyo on, 50W is quite a lot. I've deactivated that feature.
Controlling the Onkyo when it is on still works...

it varies greatly based on your model. I have an NR818 so the network standby power is so low it does not matter. See the post from a user on AVSforum...

Out of box (Net Off, HDMI RIHD Off):
TX-NR818 Standby 0.0 W
TX-NR818 On 80.0 W (idle, on BD input, nothing playing)
TX-NR609 Standby 0.0 W
TX-NR609 On 112.0 W (idle, on BD input, nothing playing)
HT-RC180 Standby 0.0 W
HT-RC180 On 100.0 W (idle, on BD input, nothing playing) This is basically the same as a TX-NR807

Network Control Enabled:
TX-NR818 Standby 2.2 W
TX-NR609 Standby 29.1 W
HT-RC180 Standby 49.7 W

HDMI RIHD On (enable ARC and pass-thru)
TX-NR818 Standby 7.2 W
TX-NR609 Standby 29.3 W
HT-RC180 Standby 49.9 W

Net and HDMI enabled:
TX-NR818 Standby 8.4 W
TX-NR609 Standby 29.5 W
HT-RC180 Standby 50.1 W

Owel,
I see the below error often. It repeats forever, locking up EG.

Code: Select all

OnkyoISCP: [Errno 10054] An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

here's a large portion of the log right before the repeating error, to give you an idea but I don't see anything that 'should' be causing this other than something in the plugin erroring...

[Owel]

I don't get your point....

of course the error comes from the plugin. The plugin cannot connect to the onkyo...

[Livin]

well it comes with major problems...

it logs thousands of these error very quickly which essentially locks up EG since it is so busy logging your errors it does not respond to other actions. in just a few minutes my log was over 500MB on disk.

[abraxxa]

That's because of your auto-repeat option, not some direct problem of the plugin.
There is nothing I can do in the plugin to prevent you from shooting you in the foot.

Autorepeat has nothing to do with the problem - it is a option in the XBMC plugin and has nothing to do with any other plugin/command/etc

When the problem occurs all human input/activity has stopped and the Onkyo is in standby (network is always alive).

Please look at this with an open mind and lets try to figure out why this is happening. It does not happen all the time but about once every day two. The PC is rebooted every night.

Log when things work as they should...
