I'm looking for a plugin for my Yamaha RXV1500 reviever (RS-232 interface).
It is listed under plugins, and the URL goes to www.girderplugins.com/...
That server is unavailable and has been for a long time now. Is it an old
adress that someone has forgotten to change or what?

Here is a link (http://www.promixis.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3646) to the thread where the RXV stuff was developed and debugged. You might send a PM to one or more of the people who worked on the final version. I wish they had uploaded to this site or Sourceforge. :(

Ok, I found the gml and ini file for RXV1000. There are no instructions/readmes at all though. Do you think those files will work with an RXV1500 too? Do you have any hints on how to get this to work?

Thanks a million! The readme in that zip file gave me just the hints I needed! The only thing I need now is more serial ports. Never thought I'd run out of those!

All the configuration for the serial plugin I need is in that .ini file right? I was unsure about those...

Thanks!

Yes, you have to import the ini file into the serial plugin.

Take a look at the INSIDE OUT NETWORKS EDGEPORT/8 EDGEPORT 8 (http://search.ebay.com/INSIDE-OUT-NETWORKS-EDGEPORT-8-EDGEPORT-8_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8QQsatitleZINSIDEQ20OUTQ20NETWO RKSQ20EDGEPORTQ2f8Q20EDGEPORTQ208)s on ebay. Cheap and reliable.

Woohoo, it works now! (on a com port borrowed from the irda).
What I want to know now is how to interpret the signals that the receiver sends to the pc, for OSD messages of various kinds (as my HTPC and projector video signals never pass the receiver).
I have read the RS-232 docs from Yamaha, and I don't get it at all. The payloads from the serial plugin doesn't look anything like the codes I expect...
I don't know how the send strings in the gml files work either, but the "center" bytes in the strings are to be found in the docs anyway, to that is kind easier...

Any hints?
