Is their a way to tell the provider it has a -100 0 100 slider scale ie like a balance slider for example which does this already?

If not I will rescale it in the plugin and deal with it that way

Cheers Rick

Hmm... that's odd - I thought I'd posted the fix for this - here's a replacement for luascript\DeviceManager\Devices\AudioVisual.lua

[rickd]

Thanks Rob that workd ...how do I turn a -ve number positive in lua?

eg if it equals -1 how do I make it +1 ie remove the negitive values?

[Rob H]

You can use math.abs() to do that.

I have added a Dolby Digital compression command dropdown but it does not work cannot see what I am missing here is provider code

Controls = {
                             Presets = {Class = 'Dropdown', ID = 'Presets', Values = PresetValues, 
							 Command = function(value) self.Plugin['Mode'..value](self.Plugin) end},
							 StepVolume = {Class = 'Dropdown', ID = 'StepVolume', Values = {"VolUp", "VolDown"}, 
							 Command = function(value) self.Plugin[value](self.Plugin) end},
							 DDCompression = {Class = 'Dropdown', ID = 'DDCompression', Values = {"On", "Off"}, 
							 Command = function(value) self.Plugin[value](self.Plugin) end},
							 DDialogNorm = {Class = 'Dropdown', ID = 'DDialogNorm', Values = {"Analog", "Digital"}, 
							 Command = function(value) self.Plugin[value](self.Plugin) end},
							Balance = {Class = 'Balance', ID = 'Balance', 
							Command = function(value) 
								print('Casablanca Provider Received Balance Value '..value)
								if tonumber(value) then
                                            self.Plugin:SetPercentBalance(tonumber(value))
							else
								print('Casablanca Provider Received Unknown Balance Command')
								end
							end},

errors as follows when event fcomes from NR:

Assuming that this code is at line 71

Command = function(value) self.Plugin[value](self.Plugin) end},

I'd want to know what the value of the parameter 'value' is - I'd expect it to 'On' or 'Off' - but you'd really want to be calling something like self.Plugin.DDCompression(self.Plugin, value) I'd have thought.

And something similar for DDialogNorm as well.

[rickd]

yes you are right that is code at 71 and yes DDCompression values are on or off

so something like this would work?

DDCompression = {Class = 'Dropdown', ID = 'DDCompression', Values = {"On", "Off"}, 
Command = function(value) self.Plugin.DDCompression(self.Plugin, value) end},

on the plugin side

DDCompression=function(self,value)
	print ("got compression")
if value=="On" then
		self:SendHex('01 36 00 00') end
	end,

[Rob H]

Yes, that looks right to me.
