Take a look at AutoIt. I think it should be able to do what you want from within an AutoIt script. This can then be compiled into an executable that HouseBot can run.

Yes...I see. I am not sure if I can dynamically create a null device from with the master device, however.

This method is not without merit, or some issues that come to mind as well (adding devices after the fact, for one, and ensuring links to your themes don't break). Let me do some poking.

That is a good idea but doesn't solve the central problem. The issue is that you can not have multiples of ANY device that communicates with HouseBot via the DotNetBridge. Even with your idea there is still a requirement for a seperate device instance for each extender or client. You could use a nul...

Just an FYI: the wrapper does not work with .Net 4.0

I think I saw problems at start-up that were similar to what JonFo and Richard were seeing when I had .Net 4.0 installed. Moving back to 3.5 or 3.5 with SP1 fixed the problem.

As an update, I have been using Sonos via HouseBot for several days since moving to version 3.2. Remember, issues with network topology are usually uncovered after a Sonos update. I uncovered a bad network cable on one of my ZonePlayers after a prior update. There may be an issue with a switch or a ...

I do not know if it is compatible with SageTV 7 or not since I haven't upgraded. SageTCPServer is an open source project and I don't know if changes have been implemented for V7. Try the download link at this site and see if it fixes the issue: http://talluscorp.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=SageTCP...

roussell is looking at the source for the DotNetBridge and may have a solution.

If a solution is not forthcoming by this weekend, I will compile 4 separate dll files for you to use to bridge you until the DotNetBridge issue is resolved.

For control of an HD100/200 or client. This is limited to a single device due to the limitations of the DotNetBridge. Hopefully this will get worked out in the future.

See the installation instructions. Post questions as they arise.

What about virus protection, like MS Security Essentials? Did you just install that? Using the current wsc/script I can navigate the music library, select a song, and start it playing. Can you isolate just one zone for testing....leave all the other scripts as stopped. If you can get that zone to be...

Ok..let me play around with mine today and see what's going on.

Have you tried reboot or restarting hb since you upgraded the sonos software?

Are you sure a firewall didn't get turned on somehow? Perhaps during an update?

There are others who say they are not seeing this problem when using the dotnetbridge so let me poke around. I am obviously doing something wrong, but it is unclear to me at this time exactly what that is.

This is a problem I am currently attempting to find a solution for. For some reason you can't have multiple device instances. Hopefully I can get this fixed soon. How many of these devices do you need? If you have the capability you can use the code I posted in VB express and compile a new dll with ...

Ok...I updated the sonos system and then had to fight with getting the scripts working on the new Atom 330 server; however, I appear to have full transport control via HouseBot even after the update. Can you give some more specifics as to what you are seeing. Is it rendering (volume, mute, etc.) or ...

I haven't updated the sonos software yet. Let me update and see what the issues are.
