Hey guys,

Has anyone else seen the issue where if the CBUS driver is loaded onto an xp8/xp6 then it effects the CBUS system when you try to ramp a channel off over a period of time.

example...
When a scene in a DLT is triggered that ramps a selection of lights OFF over a 30 second period the lights will distinguish after a short period of time (approx 5 seconds) but the DLT will show the status of the Group address to be still ramping off.??

If the driver is removed from the XP8 then this phenomenon is not experienced.  Any ideas or fixes to this problem??

Your first request shouldn't be a problem.

I wil get back to you on hte protocol stuff.

Cheers

Still waiting in anticipation for plugin ?

I'm still torn on this driver.  There are a bunch of variants out there (like boxee, plex etc for example) that use the old web interface for control.  I had been implementing the new JSON interface for the real XBMC.  I'm concerned if I continue, the moment i release it there's going to be the usual crowd complaining it doesn't work with Boxee etc.

Good point Matt. I use cf and rti with xbmc for simple control with use of event ghost to listen for ip commands.

Just started to use a boxed box and pretty impressed with the playback of files in full 1080. Be pretty interested in being able to control it with rti...

Matt,

Just downloaded v1.2 I'm finding that the timeout stops working after a certain amount of time after re-sending the file to the xp8.

this was also present in the original release.  I use the timeout in co-ordination with an event to automatically turn on/off the amplifier once the zp90 starts/stops playing.

Yep you can simply select the line-in input via a single driver call.

Matt Sonos driver is great!  A real break through and a very useful driver.

In regards to line input I think it is missing the functionality to add the line input of a different zone.  Eg.  Play the line-in of zone 1 through zone 4 speakers.  (can be done with controller).

Last night I easily setup a CBUS DLT to control sonos...  play/pause/volume/next/previous by triggering a cbus driver event that runs the associated sonos macro driver command...

Any idea of when official release date is?... reseting xp8 every day
