    Thanks for making this plugin available. Just starting to try it under HS3. One thing that I noticed is that when the "master" plugin is disabled, the child plugin instances don't completely disable (see screenshot below) and regular (every 30 seconds) warnings appear in the log:
    Code:
    Warning     Cannot access remote plugin MediaController
    Is there a way to disable the child plugin instances so that those errors no longer appear?

    Thanks

    What version of PI and HS3 are you on? I suspect an HS3 issue actually, I'll check whether I have it on my setup as well. If you check w/ task manager, you should see that the MediaController.exe is gone and this is a single .exe despite it showing as different instances.

      See the same here but don't see any errors in my PI, all links seems to be removed properly. Suspect HS3 issue. You could log a bug report

        Thanks Dirk,

        Yes, the exe does disappear when I disable the plugin. Not sure what process is trying to access the plugin after it has been disabled. I have other plugins (such as Squeezebox) that create multiple plugin instances using a single exe, and when I disable their main plugin, I don't see similar messages in the log.

        Thanks

            Obviously HS3, so we would need help from the HS team to find out what wasn't cleaned up and why HS3 is still trying to access the PI.

              Excellent!!

Could you turn the debug flag on and post the log when you try to run the announcement. I recently made some changes in that area, not sure it was part of beta 5 or on the yet to be released version. I'll give it another try here as well.

              Dirk
              I think I tried the .wav first and the tv couldn't recognise the file (I think from memory) I'll set it up again and post the log though.

              While I remember, I wondered if you were going to implement the media stream type, like you did in your HS2 version (is video, is music etc)?

              Cheers

                Hi Dirk,

                Strike that. I disabled my squeezebox plugin this morning and the same thing now happens with it. Looks like one of the latest HS betas is the culprit as it did not do that before.

                Thanks
                Al

                PS I've logged the bug at http://homeseer.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1950

                  Thanks for reminding me, not sure how that fell out. Will be added to next beta.

                    With "use mp3 format" ON I get errors below, and the TV displays "File not available"

                    Jun-02 22:24:03 Warning File does not exist: C:\Program Files (x86)\HomeSeer HS3\html\MediaController\Announcements\Ann_Philips_TV_0.mp3 Jun-02 22:24:03 MC Error Error in DoCheckAnnouncementQueue converting .wav to .mp3 with error = The system cannot find the file specified Jun-02 22:24:03 MC Error Error in DoCheckAnnouncementQueue finished conversion to mp3 with Ouptut = and Return = Jun-02 22:24:02 MC SpeakIn called for Device = 0, Text = hello wossi, Wait=False, Host = $MC$Philips TV$:* Jun-02 22:24:02 TTS Speak: ($MC$Philips TV$:*):hello wossi

                    in the HTML\Mediacontroller\Announcements
                    a .wav file gets created (not an .mp3??)

                    Actually thinking about it, I wonder if I need Lame encoder (or something)on the HS3 box??

                    With the "use mp3 format" turned OFF, the tv does nothing and after a while I get

                    Jun-02 22:39:01 MC Error Error in DoCheckAnnouncementQueue. 100 seconds expired since the announcement started and no end was received.

                    Sorry didn't have debug on!!!

                        I was thinking the same and remembered that's what I recently did.
                        You need to copy the lame.exe to the <hsroot>\html\MediaController subdirectory. I think I added it to the next .zip file yet-to-be-released.
                        I noticed that the lame.exe is in the HS3 subdirectory, so just copy it.

                            Initially they are all as interesting in this technology as watching paint dry but after a while, when suddenly the announcement goes missing that the garage door was opened, now we get an earful.

                              How very true...

                              I have 2 pairs of IR beams across the driveway here for detecting incoming / outgoing vehicles / people and announcing these via the Sonos plug-in. Occasionally (on the rare occasions we see it here in the UK) bright sunlight can cause false triggers on the beams resulting in false announcements for which I get the proverbial "ear bashing" because our dogs start barking when hearing some announcements, only to find there is no one there.

                              I have an event that temporarily disables the announcements if there have been too many in X amount of time and the UV index is above X. I then get another round of abuse because someone has arrived during the "disabled" period and she wasn't told about it.

                              We can't win either way

                              Paul..

                                Hi Dirk,

                                I'm still having some troubles with the plugin. I've included two log files - After doing a full delete, I recorded to log for the install and add device actions. The second log file is where I closed HS3 and restarted.

                                I'm getting a few errors in the log I wouldn't mind you having a look at if you get a chance.

                                So I can get my TV to work with the player, I can play to it using events, but I can't get speech to play, and also I can't get the remote function to work. There are definitely errors in the log relating to this. Errors when trying to use remote are as follows:

                                8/06/2014 10:09:20 AM ~!~MC Error~!~Error in ConnectSocket with error = Index was outside the bounds of the array.

                                8/06/2014 10:09:20 AM ~!~MC Error~!~Error in EstablishTCPConnection for UPnPDevice = [TV]Samsung60 . Unable to open Socket

                                8/06/2014 10:09:20 AM ~!~MC Error~!~Error in SendKeyCode. There is no socket for UPnPDevice = [TV]Samsung60
                                My TV is a Samsung UA60H6400 on 192.168.1.20
                                My NAS is a Synology on 192.168.1.10
                                HS3 is on 192.168.1.3

                                Thanks for having a look. I'm super keen to get the Samsung remote working.
