DL Monoprice HDMI Matix plugin

[Moskus]

Moskus, in your code example, how does the plugin know what serial port is receiving the matrix commands? Don't you need to ALWAYS setup the serial port in the plugin then/and, if you have a serial/tcp server, forward those commands to a specified ip addressort?

The plugin has to be told what serial port is connected to the matrix, correct? If not, I stand corrected.

No, that's the thing: If you have the same "serial server" as the author has, you can connect to that server and serial port directly without having the computer translate TCP-communication to serial-communication. With my Quatech server I get virtual com-ports, but if you have the same server as the author, you can connect directly via the plugin.

But most users will need to specify a COMort setting.

I accidentally disconnected the serial port for my Monoprice switch, and found the following bugs:

1. This plugin's watchdog is set to 10 seconds, but the log file only shows it trying to reconnect every 20 seconds.
2. After several hours, HS crashes at the exact moment that this plugin tries a reconnect and/or its watchdog makes the log entry. Without having time at the moment to try to further check, I would suspect the recovery functions in the plugin are using up memory/handles on every attempt and after enough hours, HS crashes.

Please have a look at that section of the code to see if there is something that could be improved!

I hope Drule can have a look at the above bugs!

I wonder if he will port to HS3. I hope--this is a cool, cool, cool (that's 3 cools) plugin!

Looks like OP is not around anymore. Shame, I was hoping this would make it to HS3.

Hey DRule,

Any chance you will post the code for someone else to take a crack at migrating this to hs3?

I'd also like to see this plug in on HS3
