How goes Harmony Hub implementations?

I just release an update to the Harmony driver.
Notable Changes:
1) Polling will now also check for Authenticated and well as Connected. If not connected it will try to reconnect and authenticate. If it is not authenticated it will close the session and then attempt to reconnect and authenticate.

2) For users with multiple Harmony hubs it is possible to have the same activity and device names on each hub. The old version of the driver did not properly handle the duplicate names and would not create activation macros for any duplicates. Today's driver and server update will correct for this issue.

Finally if you are having connectivity issues turn on verbose event logging in the Harmony driver and let it run until you experience your next Harmony disconnect.  I then want to remote into your system to review the server logs so I can see what the Harmony has been doing.

I only have access to one test Harmony hub so seeing event logs from a live system will be helpful.

Please be aware that today's SmartRemote update will activate button repeats on the volume, channel and cursor keys on the remote. Holding down the buttons will force the remote to send commands until they are released.
 

Hi DaveP

I have the latest driver installed and have the system unresponsive. I did set Verbose logging on the Harmony driver.
I had restarted myServer, restarted SmartRemote and then selected the AppleTV Activity. My AV system came to life, switched inputs correctly and I was able to cursor around. The system is pretty "laggy" (I know it's come up before). I went to increase the Volume and the system froze.
Not even Power Off works.

Is it ok for me to post my Teamviewer ID here?

HI David, In reading this thread - I have a question about this statement:

updated Linux, updated smartremote template. You had downloaded the current, but hadn't changed it's name to "smartremote" so it wasn't being put into practice.

I did download the update smartremote-sample template. What is the best way to "update" to the newer template?

 

I also was wondering how I update my existing smartremote template after I download a new sample template.

Also, should we have the Moonlight templates for phones and tablets?  I don't see them anywhere.

The easiest way to update the folder name of a project folder is to use the myServer controller's HDMI monitor / USB keyboard and mouse and to edit in File Manager.  You can also from a networked PC go to \\192.168.1.X\myServer and edit in the wwwroot directory the file names.  Just copy the downloaded -sample and then delete the suffix -sample if you haven't customized any webpages or add images (both).

the YouTube tutorials for myDesigner also show how you can edit the project folder names using myDesigner.

I've noticed they've disappeared as well. Although not directly useable I'm sure they would have been a good source of inspiration.

The Moonlight tablet and smartphone templates are being updated to match the variable name / techniques / commands that the SmartRemote template provides. So, configure one, all are configured. The are undergoing testing now and will be reposted once complete.
