Nevion Sublime router input not detected

Open J-FB opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Hi there, I'm testing a Nevion router (Sublime 32x32) and found that TVplay cannot control it. The Nevion router (modular) you tested has a controller (MULTICON), while this is not available on the SUBLIME router range. The Protocol available on the SUBLIME range is only a subset of the MULTICON (Modular) protocol. Yet, it is still the Nevion MRP protocol. "inlist" and "si" commands are not available with the SUBLIME range, however, "sspi" and "sl" are implemented.

1- Would replacing the "si" commands by "sl" (that gives full level crosspoint status, instead of a range only) work? I noticed that there's an IF statement in NevionCummonicator.cs that should filter out the non-required outputports :line 253 lineParams[3] == _router.OutputPorts[0].ToString() . "sl" command takes only 1 parameter : level, e.g. "sl l1"

2- Could "inlist" be replaced by "sspi"?, Although Inputs ports' names won't be available, sspi will still list down all the available input ports. This may require to replace (line 70) lineParams[3] with a string (such as "Out", or Output"), since sspi will return the status of the port as 4th parameter.

I have no competences in C#, I would appreciate your help on this

Good job, @J-FB. Can you participate on testing the plugin with the router? I don't have access to any router of Sublime family. I'm in process of redesigning the plugin stuff with configuration user interfaces, so it can take a week or two. If not, I'll try to borrow one from local distributor, they should have a demo. Thanks, Jurek

Hi Jurek, for sure I can test it. Thanks a lot for your very good job. Jean-Francois

We managed to compile the DLL with the changes described earlier and it seems working fine. We'll start some more intensive testings
