Re: Russound RNET Plugin

Bingo! I had forgotten that the IP address has to be updated in two places. Many thanks. Happy camper once again. These plugins have enabled me to gain full control of music throughout my vacation home. :D

Re: Russound RNET Plugin

hi there -

The Russound plugin is looking great except that I'm unable to interact with zone 4 on either my two CAV6.6 units. I can actually send commands to the unit for zone 4, but when the response comes back it's always shown as invalid.

Anyone see this before?

Re: Russound RNET Plugin

Hello NLagaros thanks for taking over the plug-in.
Have you seen the XStream-X5 Zone Media Streamer?
I can get some control using the plug-in on port 9650, but I get a lot of errors.
Do you think you could add this streamer to the plug-in?
Also you might want to add the zip extension (.zip) to the download file.
The download file is a zip file but it shows up as a plug-in

Here is my event log.

Re: Russound RNET Plugin

Unfortunately I am no longer in possession of any Russound equipment so can no longer make any modifications or improvements to the plugin.

Hi nlagaros,

I'm interested in taking on maintenance of the Russound plugin if you've moved away from it.

Let me know.

Hi Allen,

Please feel free to take over the plugin as I no longer have any Russound equipment either.

Thanks

Re: Russound RNET Plugin

Can somebody please take over this plug-in, or just create a new one using an IP address like the Russound application.

Re: Russound RNET Plugin

Not sure if anyone is supporting the plugin any longer. If so, I have been getting an error I never saw before, as follows....

Russound Error Error in plugin execution ExecuteAction:

Re: Russound RNET Plugin

The problem turned out to be the Startech RS232 box failed. I could easily replace it but decided to go with Sonos instead. I am creating a plugin for the Epson 5030e projector. I have very simple ambitions: turn it on or off and select one of two sources. I am wondering if the Russound plugin would be a good template to start from. Any thoughts on this?

Re: Russound RNET Plugin

Hello-- is anyone using the Russound plugin successfully with Indigo 7?

I can get a zone to switch to "ON" but cannot get any sound and I see a bunch of errors in the log (see below). Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Re: Russound RNET Plugin

I have figured out the problem.

Apparently the signature for the readline() python function changed in 2.6 such that it no longer takes an EOL parameter. I have 2.7 installed.

If it is still working for anyone then I guess they are using a prior version of python.

Re: Russound RNET Plugin

Fixed. I've updated the plugin code to correctly retrieve data from the Russound device.

It's working like a charm now and I'm VERY happy!

Does anyone know of a good source for wired speakers?

Add XM Radio to your Russound for FREE

Sirius XM is running a promotion during which you can get a FREE receiver with a home kit to hook to your Russound or other home audio component. (Of course you do need to add a subscription to the service.)

I was going to add the Russound ST2-XM tuner but this option is FREE!

The offer is available to both new and existing customers. Check out the details here https://shop.siriusxm.com/radios/?intcmp=SHOP-HP-PROMO1.

I added the Onyx EZ receiver (shown below) to my Russound CAV 6.6 and it's great. You can also control the Onyx EZ using an IR Blaster from the Russound unit and have complete control from Indigo. (Note that you do need to "teach" the Russound the remote control codes from the Onyx EZ remote.)

If anyone would like further details just let me know and I'll post them.
