Yamaha RX Plugin - a/v receiver control

Apologies for the delayed response.

I am struggling to resolve this issue as I can't replicate it. Unfortunately my speakers aren't much of a help as they are musiccast based.

The error seems to be occurring on listing your receiver.

What is the name of your receiver and what type?

No worry. Thanks for the reply! I was able to fix these issues and sent a pull request on GitHub if you’d like to integrate into your changes. My receiver is the Yamaha Rx-A1080 but the real cause I found when debugging is other devices on the network that are also broadcasting and passing xml possibly without a utf-8 encoding or without one specified. My PR is here in case it helps to locate it. I also fixed a few other issues that I ran into.

Would it be possible for youto download and test out the merged release to make sure that I have merged your changes correctly?

Thanks for your help.

Just tried this here in the US, and unsurprisingly, it does not communicate with my amp, an RX-A1010.

Has this ever worked? Trying to determine if it is a Python 2 > Python 3 conversion issue.

Not entirely sure what you mean by “ever.”

Does the Python 2 version I’ve had for years work? Yes.

Have I ever gotten the P3 version to work? No.

Hi @Different Computers,

Thanks for the answer; which is what I wanted to know.

Your previous statement:

This gives the impression (to me at least) that you didn't expect it to work in the US. I can't see how converting the plugin from Python 2 to Python 3 would cause that type of issue. Hence me questioning if it had ever worked.

What made you think that being in the US would cause it not to work or were you just letting me know where you were trying it out?

I assumed it was for Australian versions of Yamaha amps, since it's labeled AUS.

Doing more investigation and this seems odd:

Undefined?

Also I notice that my amp is not an RX-A1010, which is the only model in the drop down. Mine is a TSR-7850, but it works with the previous plugin.

Can we check we are talking about the same version of the plugin?

There is an Australian version by @Bleasel.

The one I have updated is the original Python 2 plugin and this is the one that will be updated into the Indigo plugin store when confirmed OK, or at least at the state it was under Python 2.

It can be downloaded from here: Python 3 update for Indigo 2022.1+

Apparently not the same version! Sorry for the confusion.

The one you linked seems to work fine!

That's good; pleased it is now working for you.
