Integration of the popup function

[DanielHD80]

Hi there,

is it possible to include the popup function? That would make a lot of sense for me (and certainly some others too), because you can then output messages from the ioBroker independently of the playback device. I currently have to check which source is active (Fire TV, satellite receiver, ...) and then generate the messages there (where possible). It would be nicer if you could always output them centrally on the AVR receiver! According to the EISCP overview, it shouldn't be anything great, since there is a command for it ...

Hi Daniel
Are you able to give an example?
What do you mean with popup?

Hi,

I mean a window that "pops up", if a message is received. Random example from the web:
https://forum.iobroker.net/assets/uploads/files/294_popup.jpg

I think the most important is to show infos (only with okay-button or without button showed for x seconds). If I read the EISCP-commands correct, you can even send messages with two or more buttons to the tv and work with the result (e.g. "somebody is on the door. should i open the door?" - yes, no).

Ah, OK. I don't know about this function. Very interesting. Do you have the eiscp command? You can test it with the raw object.

[DanielHD80]

In the excel-sheet I found it with the command "pop" but there are soooooo many parameters, that I only got errors... :( I think there are many users that would like this function, but don't know how to use...

Let's see, what I can do. ;-)

Hi Daniel
I found the pop up command. One problem exists. Im not able to program and test this, because my receiver does not support that command. Perhaps there are some other guys who can add this and do a pull-request?

[DanielHD80]

I can test on a TX-NR686. I think it should be able to show popups?

[Eisbaeeer]

Perhaps my receiver supports that. Actually Im not able to send a popup-message, because there is no example of the content of the command. Can you provide a simple message command who diplays eg. your screenshot?

[DanielHD80]

Exactly that is my problem. The syntax is not clear to me, so I asked about the integration of the function in the adapter. Otherwise I could do it myself with the RAW command

[Eisbaeeer]

Found something. Can you test with RAW, please?
NCPX<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><popup title="Playback error" align="center" type="custom" time="0" uri="resource:///popup" ><label title="" align="center" total="1" uri="resource:///popup/label:0" ><line text="Connection Error. · The server connection could not be established or was terminated early. Please try again later." align="left" uri="resource:///popup/label:0/line:0" order="0" /></label><buttongroup title="" align="center" total="1" uri="resource:///popup/buttongroup:0" ><button text="Back" align="center" uri="resource:///popup/buttongroup:0/button:0" selected="false" index="0" order="1" /></buttongroup></popup>

[DanielHD80]

No popup... :(

I wonder why you use NCP? I can't find such a command? But also with POPX... no popup...

[Eisbaeeer]

Last try:
POPt----<popup title="Search" align="center" type="custom" time="0" uri="resource:///popup" /><textbox title="Enter your query" align="center" total="1" uri="resource:///popup/textbox:0" /><input text="Touch this bar to search" value="" align="left" type="plain" uri="resource:///popup/textbox:0"/input:0" /></textbox><buttongroup title="" align="" total="2" uri="resource:///popup/buttongroup:0" /><button text="Search" align="center" selected="false" uri="resource:///popup/buttongroup:0/button:0" /><button text="Back" align="center" selected="false" uri="resource:///popup/buttongroup:0/button:1" /></buttongroup></popup>

But Im pretty sure, that my receiver does not support that. Have never seen such popups.

[DanielHD80]

Also nothing... I haven't seen one, too. But in die Excel-sheet is listed the TX-NR555, my AVR is newer and bigger (TX-NR686). I think it should can use it, too...

Thanks anyway for your efforts
Daniel
