Meridian Serial and DM Provider Files

[rpalmer68]

As I work my though getting Device Manager support for my system sorted I thought I should share my files with others as it may help other people trying to get things working.

These files are certainly not finished, and I'm sure parts of the device manager (device definitions etc) will change before final release, but at least they work at the moment!

I am providing two files, the serial plugin (Meridian 500 Series Serial.lua)and the Provider file (Meridian500.lua).

These particular files are for serial control of a Meridian 568 (surround processor) and 598 (DVD Player).

I still need to work on doing something with the responses back from the units but that will come a bit later.

A BIG thanks to RobH for all his help as I would never have got to this point without his help.

Files have been updated with various fixes and updates especially in the area of feedback back to the device manager.


Meridian equipment responds with sometjing like "Trifield 55" where "Trifield" is the surround/audio preset loaded and 55 is the current volume setting. So I split these off and then feed them both back to the device manager.

Note: The serial plugin is not using the new Serial Controls just released, that's my next project!
