Greetings,

I have looked and have been unable to locate an answer. I have a simple rotary wheel script that controls the volume on my Denon. I recently downloaded The latest PeP software and wanted to try using it. For some reason the rotary wheel volume script doesn't work with PeP2. It works fine with PeP 1.1.

Is there something that I should have addressed differently going from one to the other?

Thanks.

Do you get an error in the ProntoScript Console of the PEP2 Simulator?

I don't see one. The wheel works for volume control but only when I have the Denon selected. It worked with all of my other devices just fine using PeP1.1. I am using the button based script that I found mentioned here.

Did you get any errors when you downloaded your config to your Pronto?

Ralph,

Can you paste the script here? Maybe it is an XML encoding issue...

Also, can you wrap the script with a try/catch block and log any errors you might have to diagnostics log?

I suspect you have compilation errors on the page. One way to tell is from PEPV2, copy the potential offending script and paste into a text file. Then, run this text file through a tool such as JSLint.

Lyndel,

I feel like a boob but how do you copy and paste? When I try right clicking on the script in PEP it does nothing..

sigh..

Mark the script (or press CTRL-A to mark the whole script) and copy it by using CTRL-C.
After that, paste it here by pressing CTRL-V.

Thanks flatterman.

Okay here it is:

onRotary = function(clicks)
{
if (clicks > 1)
{CF.widget("Volumeup","WidgetPage").executeActions();}
if (clicks < -1)
{CF.widget("Volumedown","WidgetPage").executeActions();}
};

Each of my devices has a hidden WidgetPage with the script names. I have a hidden device that contains buttons that correspond to the volume control codes in my database. This works fine in PEP 1.1. In PEP 2 (the latest version) the rotary whhel only works when the Denon is the selected device.

Well, the code looks fine (although I would change the second "if" to an "else if", but that will not really make a difference).

Have you tried to un-hide the "WidgetPage" of your devices and press the "Volumeup" / "Volumedown" buttons manually? Does this work?

I got it working. Rather than using a separate hidden device and referencing it from my other sources I just created a hidden page within each of my devices and placed the widgets there.

Thanks for everyone's input !

That must mean that in PEPV1, the device in which you had the hidden page contained codes for multiple "components". It is likely that during migration, PEP2 could not figure out to which real component (Denon vs DVD) your codes belonged to.

So, the solution you chose was a good one as in PEP2, you likely have a component assigned at the "device/activity" level.

That sounds good Lyndel. Thanks again..
