EventGhost

I converted the serial Onkyo plugin to ethernet and added additional functions.

Since the ISCP protocol only supports one connection at a time I implemented only sending of commands. Otherwise the connection should be hold and no other client could connect to the Receiver.

Hi Everyone,

first post in this forum - with a simple question:

Anyone has any idea about a plugin that does the same as the one in this thread - but for Yamaha Receivers? They're controllable via Ethernet, too, so i think there could be an implementation?

Receiver in question in my case is a Yamaha RX-V1067

Thanks for any response!

Best regards,
Klaas.

Hi,

i would also like to see such a plugin for the Yamaha RX-Vxx67 AVRs.
Sorry for using the wrong thread!

Best regards

THis is nice. Great to have the list of commands with it that loads up. I find it working better than the Onkyo ISCP plugin: that one stops communicating after waking the PC from sleep.

Question: Any thoughts of capability to retrieve replies from the receiver or request status? For example, to determine what mode it is in; method to select between optoins on internet radio, etc.

For those looking for an ethernet yamaha plugin, i wrote one that is compatible with the rx-v867:

Before use, open "rxv867.py" file with a text editor and change the line "IP_ADDRESS = ..." to point to the ip address or host name of your receiver.

If I send a command to my onkyo with this plugin when the onkyo is turned off it freezes evenghost for about 20 seconds which can be pretty problematic until I remember what is happening... Since the plugin is not receiving information from the Onkyo anyway, is there something that could be done to avoid this? If I had some way of knowing whether the Onkyo was on or off I could skip the command when necessary, but currently I don't think there is a reliable method to know this.

Is it possible to set a shorter timeout? It seems safe to assume that if the Onkyo doesn't respond within 1/4 it's not going to. Another option I guess would be to send the request on it's own thread, though this might be a pain to implement. I personally find threads tricky.

If it's not possible or too much trouble don't worry about it. Other than this small issue, the plugin works great and is much appreciated. Thanks for your work.
