Yamaha RX-Vxxx (or similar) Ethernet Plugin!

[Dragon470]

If any of you are curious, here is the ync spec sheets from Yamaha for the 2011 models. I have not looked for updated command sheet for newer models.

[Dragon470]

I just updated the plugin allowing a second zone control. A configuration page so you no longer need to edit the .py files. Some more updates to make full multi-zone control support will need to be tested by someone who has a receiver that has more than 2 zones. Some commands for zone 2 are not in yet, as updates will not occur until mid/late July. Updated files will be in MY first post.

Thanks for this update! I haven't been able to test it out fully, but it looks perfect!

Let's say I use the action Basic_Input_Sel to retrieve the input information from the receiver. How then do I send this information via the network event sender plugin?

[Dragon470]

You have the Get Basic Input Sel.

Your next Action is Network Event Sender: Map

in the config screen you type in {eg.result}

This will send only the exact information.

Thanks for the reply! I have this set up but when I execute the macro, the printout of the result is "None". Do you know what I could be doing wrong?

Edit: Whoops! I forgot to use the most up-to-date plugin files on this server. Things are running great!

Hello i have a RX-V1067 and try to get this work with the plugin found in this tread. I did put in the right ip adress of my reciever, but i get the message "aplication is not running!"
Does this plugin not work with my reciever?

[Dragon470]

I did a little looking and the protocols are all the same for the 1067. I have the 671, and I know even newer models work. "application is not running!" is the only information that you get? If you are not getting anything about rxvxxx, then all was installed properly. I then need to ask what action are you executing. A receiving action (getting information from receiver) or a sending action (command to send to receiver)? What action(s) did it fail on?

If everyone with a working model please PM me As I will keep a known working models list.

Thanx for quick reply! I tried to install the the rxvxxx and __init__ file again. Maybe i put in my ip adress as a hardcode first time. Now just in the plugin item setting. And now it works great.

I have recently worked on a newer version of this plugin, with the main focus on user customizeable settings, and cleaning up the clutter when it comes to events (one user defined increase volume function instead of 5 hard coded ones).

Here is the github sources / downloads:

click "Download ZIP" button on bottom right to download

Note:

I have not visited this thread in a while, so i had no idea Dragon470 was working on a new version of this, so none of his changes have been applied to this. When i find time i will go through his code and merge in any important bug fixes he has (or he can do it himself if he wants).

[therealbiglou]

Wow! That's great work! I think for now I'll stick with Dragon470's version as it has additional events that I currently use.

However, I do have a feature request (or a quick end to my ignorance if it exists). Is it possible to have an event to toggle Zone A or Zone B and then check their current on/off status?

[birdapi]

I have merged in some of changes in this thread, including:

Scene change fix (thanks DoXer!)

The following have been merged in from Dragon470's code, and I added a GUI for them:

Cursor Actions (Choose Main Zone / Zone 2):
Up, Down, Left, Right, Enter, Return, Option, Top Menu, Pop Up Menu

NumChar Actions (Choose Main Zone / Zone 2):
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, +10, ENT

Operation Actions (Choose Main Zone / Zone 2):
Play, Stop, Pause, Search-, Search+, Skip-, Skip+, FM, AM

I have also started some work on getting various things to work on Main Zone, Zone 2, Zone 3, or Zone 4. The GUI is there to select them, but most of them don't seem to be fully working at the moment.

Thanks for all the updates! I'd like to suggest one addition. Dragon's code was for a receiver that had 2 "Audio" inputs. My RX-V573 only has a single "Audio" input and neither of his input selections work with it. Is it possible to include this?

Give mine a try. I already included an input called "AUDIO" (based on reading your earlier post in this thread). Not sure if it will work for you or not, but you could always create a new blank config file and try mine out.

My code can be used by adding the "SetSourceInput" action, and double clicking on it will give you a drop down box of items to select. Here are all of the available options i give:

Code: Select all

        inputs = [ 'HDMI1', 'HDMI2', 'HDMI3', 'HDMI4', 'HDMI5', 'HDMI6', 'HDMI7', 'HDMI8', 'HDMI9',
                   'AV1', 'AV2', 'AV3', 'AV4', 'AV5', 'AV6', 'AV7', 'AV8', 'AV9',
                   'V-AUX', 'TUNER', 'AUDIO', 'AUDIO1', 'AUDIO2', 'AUDIO3', 'AUDIO4',
                   'DOCK', 'SIRIUS', 'PC' ]

Thanks, your update works great! The only thing I'm missing is Zone A and Zone B toggles. Unfortunately, Zone 2, 3, or 4 will not toggle Zone B on my RX-V573. Is this something that can be added?
