Due to a small but nasty bug I broke the Listening Mode store buttons. These should work again.
There’s also a new feature where when you click into the small textbox next to the cursor buttons, the keyboard cursor keys + return + backspace are recognised and sent to the receiver as button clicks. Makes navigating the menues a whole lot easier.
There’s also a new button that will open a live log showing all incoming and outgoing protocol traffic. Should be useful for anyone planing to write batches or generally see what’s going on. As before, get it here.
A new version of OyRemote is done. I’ve rewritten large parts of the application. The entire network code is redone, as are large parts of the UI code. Listening Mode shortcuts are now fully configurable for example, and the backchannel from the receiver is working quite well too. If you have a network ready Onkyo receiver I’d love to hear some feedback on what’s missing or not working.

So I’ve bitten the bullet and bought a new AV Receive, an Onkyo TX-NR1007. Amongst other things, it is can be controlled via both RS-232 and Network (using more or less the same protocol). So instead of actually testing the receiver, I’ve spent most my time so far writing an application to control it from my desktop
It’s in a very early stage, but seems to be working so far. If you’re interested, you can find the latest details and versions here: http://michaelauerswald.de/tools/oyremote/ (or under the Tools menu on top)
I’ve moved my galleries etc. to Zenfolio now. Excellent hoster I have to say. You can find it all at http://www.lumen-et-umbra.com
I’ll eventually integrate it all into the website, once I find the time and patience.
