Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere and I haven't found it yet. I'm just starting to play with the plugin SDK to see what interesting things I can get my pre-Ethernet home theater components to do and I have a question of basic architecture.
I have several RS232-controlled devices connected to a StarTech NETRS232 ethernet bridge. Is there an accepted convention for abstracting "how to get to a serial port on the NETRS232" from "how to interact with an Oppo DVB-983H via RS232"? It doesn't seem very flexible to write a "DVB-983H connected to a NETRS232" plugin.
Secondary question... was it a dumb decision not to use a GC100?
