    Default Can't Get Denon Plugin to Show Up in Girder

    I am switching over from FTD's Denon Serial Plugin to rah99's plugin and am having trouble getting the new .lua file to show up in the Girder pulldown menu in order to assign it to COM1.
    I have taken rah99's "DenonReceiver.lua", changed the DefaultModel to 3806,renamed the file to "Denon 3806.lua", and placed it in the directory girder/plugins/serial. I then restarted Girder and went to File/Settings/Plugin Settings/Serial Tab, selected COM1 and clicked Change Device.
    The Denon device doesn't show up in the pulldown menu as a selectable device. If I go ahead and put FTD's plugin back into the girder/plugins/serial folder then it does show up as a selectable device in Girder.
    I have restarted Girder and the PC several times.
    Any thoughts onm why rah99's Denon Plugin won't show up?

    Thanks

    Try putting the file back to the original name, then it may show up.

    I restored the filename and it still did not appear in the serial devices pulldown menu.

    Are any errors shown in the Lua console?

    When I first boot up Girder, the console returns:

    Serial Error (RunScript, C:\Program Files\Promixis\Girder\/plugins/serial/DenonReceiver.lua, 2): ...es\Promixis\Girder\/plugins/serial/DenonReceiver.lua:185: attempt to index local `Super' (a nil value)

    What version of Girder is this? I suspect you'll either need a later version or will have to replace your plugins\serial\init.lua with this one :-

    I am running Girder 4.0.5.2 (362).
    I replaced the init.lua and now the console shows:

    Loading Denon AVR
    NR Loaded
    Welcome to Promixis Girder 4.0!

    however the Denon device still does not show as selectable in the pulldown menu.

    Really? Can you check again just to be sure? It should be there, bear in mind that the list is not sorted.

    And can you clear the console and copy and paste this line to the box at the bottom

    Code:
    for name in pairs(serial.devices) do print(name) end
    Then paste the output here.

    Yes. The only devices that show up now are:
    IRMan
    W800RF32
    PowerLinc Serial
    Panasonic Plasma
    NetCallID

    One or two others disappeared when I used the new init.lau

    Here is the output (which I now see is what I listed above):
    IRMan
    W800RF32
    PowerLinc Serial
    Panasonic Plasma
    NetCallerID

    Hmm... that means that there was a problem loading one of the devices - can you remove all the files from the plugins\serial folder except for init.lua and Denon.lua for the moment and ensure that the Denon is loaded. Then you can put back the ones that loaded previously, and add the others one at a time.

    It really should be reporting a loading error for those that fail to load, but something is clearly not working properly.
