Girder 5 Bug Thread

[Rob H]

Looking at it now - does one of the NR clients just freeze up at all? That's certainly happening here.

Well DM stops working..... but I can still control Mediabridge.

Ron could you take a look at this sometime this week?

[Ron]

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks... and also could you look into why this LUA script causes an error. It works and the image is updated but the log shows an error:

local url = "http://image2.weatherbonk.com/servlet/CamImage?id=cam_1170274157745"
url = url.."&abcdef="..tostring(math.random())
NetRemote.SetImageURL("traffic1", url)

Error in log:

Time Date Source Details Payloads
23:44:39:942 5/17/2008 NetRemote Error: Connection Closed sending image variable NRVariable

each time I execute the script. Any ideas?

I just updated G5 to 524 and am finding some minor CustomWeather problems.

The first issue is units. I have Imperial units as my System Units, but the on screen
weather displays use Metric. On NR, the old style (non-DeviceManager) weather
also uses Metric units and shows Weather.Local.CurrentConditions.Metric as being
true. The DeviceManager weather on NR does use Imperial units.

The second issue is with the DeviceManager weather data being passed to NR.
TemperatureDescription and SkyDescription now are listed as Unknown in NR. They were defined
under 523 and they are defined under the old style NR CustomWeather variables in 524 so the
data is available to G5. I have been using TemperatureDescription and SkyDescription in
place of the Description weather variable (which should be a combination of the two)
because Description for some reason is undefined for me from 6 PM to Midnight. The
TemperatureDescription and SkyDescription variables were always defined (at least they
were in 523 and still are in the old style weather variables in 524).

So please have all CustomWeather use System Units and make sure NR DM weather
variable are all getting defined.

Otherwise, I am finding 524 to startup faster than 523 and things have been stable.

Was the build 524B ?

Ron,

What I downloaded says 524b. The G5 About window says Girder 5.0.0 (build 524) Beta.
I just installed it a couple of days ago.

I'll see what I can do.

I have been super busy lately setting up my outside cameras, Zoneminder and then SageTV but was wondering if you made any progress on the Connection Manager and the NetRemote.SetImageURL errors mentioned above.

I see that in 524b, some files are replaced with older files than in 524 ?:

core.lua
voice.lua
activerfidtags.lua
audiomixer.lua
voice manager ui.lua
comserv.xml
licensemanager.xml
voice manager.xml

e.g. I now see stuff like this :

LOG: Component Manager : 5 - Error reading component file C:\Program Files\Promixis\Girder5\luascript\components\Active RFIDTags.lua
LOG: Component Manager : 5 - ...:\Program Files\Promixis\Girder5\luascript\components\Active RFIDTags.lua:289: `then' expected near `cond'
x10manager (2): .\scripts\x10.lua:127: attempt to index global `DeviceDimLevel' (a nil value)

the dimlevel problem can be fixed by installing x10-work.lua (16 dec 2007)

the ActiveRFIDTags problem can be fixed by installed the newer 524 version

still an image is missing :

Time Date Source Details Payloads
20:15:27:933 5/29/2008 DUI Subsystem Could not load requested image: C:\Program Files\Promixis\Girder5\plugins\ui\sharplogo.png

the new denon component only allow selection of a serial port ?
is there no user interface for an ip address ?

(I currently use this :
local Denon = serial.devices["Denon AVR"].New('192.168.1.245:23')
Denon:Open()
)

but I don't know if there is now a better way ?
