and the log...

I'm glad my version works for you.

Can you tell me if lovelace reports the status (play-pause etc.) and the info of the source being played?

Let me know if there are any delays or bugs.

If everything works I will ask Giovanni to implement the functions in the official plugin.

Thanks

Certainly!

I'll check this, I did see the actual radio station at one point but I don't know in which setup. I'm testing a lot of different setups as the BM5 is supposed

to take a role as  a cd source and the radio replaced by the Core.

I'll revert

Baaz

Back again.

Made some notes;  Radio source will not show unless BM5 already on or link room turned on after M5 activated by default card.

Enclosing log.

All commands work from the the card, no errors.

Radio recognize when I change channel from the remote. CD does not register any commands from the remote, pausing, next / previous track etc and does not show the actual track, no entries in the log.

Hi,

I'm glad the plug is working

Before answering I would like to know with which configuration you tested the plug-in.
Could you tell me which devices you connected.
In the log I saw that you have an audiomaster, a videomaster and a bl3500.
I assume that the audiomaster is a BeoMaster 5 connected with a Beosound5?
Is the cd that of the BeoMaster5?
What VideoMaster do you have? is it a Beovision? I notice strange behavior in the log.
Is the VideoMaster in the same room as the AudioMaster,  how are they configured? (VideoMaster = 0 Audiomaster = 2 ....)
I'm sorry to ask you more questions than to give you the answers, but I would like to understand what audio / video system you have.

In general, we listen to the flow of information that the devices exchange. As you rightly observed if this stream does not exist for the cd source we cannot report anything on the cards. For example: If I listen to a cd on a BS - BM5 with the Beolabs connected, the info will not pass on the ML-bus and we cannot listen to them, the case is different if I have a system in the main room composed of a Beovision with Beolabs and a BeoSound5. In this case the TV and the stereo exchange the info, which we need. For the cd these info are only for the status (play / pause) while for the N.Radio/Radio and for N.Music/A.men we also have the metadata.

Last remark, the plugin does not work well with NL devices, for these devices there is another plug written by Giovanni, which I should try. (@Giovanni ...sorry I haven't installed it yet).

After you describe your system to me, maybe I can understand the notes better.

Hi,

yes it is a BeoMaster 5 with a Beosound 5.

I only have the BM5 in the test configuration (yaml) and on the BLGW:

mlgw:

 host: 192.168.0.50

 username: admin

 password: admin

 use_mllog: true

 default_source: RADIO

 available_sources:

  - RADIO

  - CD

 devices:

  - name: Beomaster 5

    mln: 1

BM5 as audiomaster on option 1.  The other devices are not configured in the test version.

In the original configuration the videomaster is a BLC NL/ML set in that role enabling my NL products

to communicate with my ML products where the BM5 is the CD source, still audiomaster but option 0

as there are no speakers attached, the BLC has the speakers.  They are in the same room but I don't

think that you can choose videomaster options on the BLC. If you want me to test a different configuration

I'm pleased to assist🙂

Hi Baaz

Before asking you to connect other devices, I'd like to know which ones you have. If you have a Beovision and a beolab 3500 available, you could try connecting the BS5 / BM5 (option 0) to the Beovision (option 2) in the main room and the beolab in a secondary room. BS5

sources: Nradio, NMusic, CD ....

BV sources: TV, DTV, ...

In the blgw you should set your favorites, through them the names and icons of the tv channels should appear.

Let's try.

p.s. let me know what your final configuration should be, so if you want, I can help you set it up better.

Hello again,

I've only got audio sources, on the ML side the BS5/BM5, three BL3500 and PowerLink speakers. On the NL side the BLGW, BLC, Beosund 2, Core and a Beoplay M3. You could might have configured the BLC as a "real" videomaster but there are no options to put it in 2-mode, unless I'm missing something.

Hi

Let's try to test the following configuration:

BLGW only the VideoMaster and BL3500 must be configured (in this specific case the AudioMaster is dependent on VideoMaster)

Main room

AudioMaster option 0: Bs5 with the various audio sources (CD, Nradio/Radio, NMusic/A.Mem....)

VideoMaster option 2 (see attached image): BLC with beolab and ir eye connected (it is a specific ir eye for the blc, if you have it it would be better, but maybe it could also work only with the app) Configure the various NL sources as ML video sources.(V.Mem -->TuneIn.....).

(I corrected the post by crossing out a sentence describing something out of standard, you could try it but I don't think it works.)

Login to view image

Secondary room

AudioSlave (option 5 or 6): BL3500.

Once the various tests have been carried out, send me the log in txt format.

Thanks

Lele

p.s. If you need the BLC setup manual, just let me know.

Aha! didn't realize IR option and role option where the same.

So BM5 Audiomaster option 0, BLC videomaster option 2, BL3500 option 6.

Sources CD and RADIO

Start the BLC and channel shows at once, shifting to CD no information about the track.

I can see in the log that the information is there about the song playing. Otherwise all functions work.

There are errors in the log but I think that refers to something else.
