After restarting the Emby Server, the Emby Server crashed. It looks like the Vera plugin is making a request to my VeraSecure's port 3480 which is probably closed. My browser receives a connection reset error when I try to navigate to http://192.168.11.224:3480/data_request?id=sdata. Is there something I need to setup from my Vera's web frontend to get this work? I tried re-installing the "Emby Interface" app for Vera, but that didn't help. I attached the server log and the Vera plugin's XML file. embyserver.txt 19.29 kB · 0 downloads VeraHomeAutomation.xml 271 B · 1 download Looks like the way you access ports has changed after some Vera FW release. This request works with my Vera FW: http://192.168.11.224/port_3480/data_request?id=sdata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: There are some setting in your Vera to enable secure connection. I'll do some testing and see if I can fix this.

chef 3745 Posted September 6, 2020 Author Share Posted September 6, 2020 @gmontem Would you try un-checking this setting in your vera dashboard and tell me if the issue goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unchecking the setting seems to work! Web browser navigating to http://192.168.11.224:3480/data_request?id=sdata gives me JSON data. It turns out this address still works regardless of security setting: http://192.168.11.224/port_3480/data_request?id=sdata Something to consider in case the Vera guys decide to close ports in a future FW update. But most important, your Vera plugin works! Although I have a Vera Secure model and not the Vera Plus. I will try to turn on my HTPC and run MB Theater so it'll show up as a network device. If you don't hear from me, you can assume my problems are gone. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was collecting device types and coding them into a list inside the plugin. I hadn't met anyone with a secure version, so this is why it says "plus".

Keep in mind that we can't really differentiate between browsers because they change their ID's all the time. You should definitely be able to have more then two.

Vidman 589 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) @chef ok so i set up a couple of dummy Vera scenes that toggle a dummy Vera virtual switch and setup your plugin to run the scenes when watching on my mobile (android mobile app). that worked fine. then i set another device up (nvidia sheild-android TV app) and when saving that configuration it deleted my first trial device. (android mobile app) so i re-added the mobile trial settings and it deleted my other device(nvidia sheild android TV app) settings. so it seems i can only have two devices saved (the other is the original device that was originally already setup) To be clear I am able to configure and save these settings ....and they work until I add a 3rd device, then the 3rd device is saved and works but the 2nd device is removed and no longer works Edited February 24, 2021 by Vidman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef 3745 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 @Vidman I went through the code and found some problematic stuff. I have pushed a new release. This was the first plugin I had ever written, so... the code is old, and when I read, it I wonder what in the world I was thinking at the time. Realizing that my skill has advanced substantially, I think this plugin needs an entire overhaul. For now I believe I have fixed the issue with saving device profiles for now. But please let me know. I have tested it, and haven't found an issue.... (means nothing LOL). I do plan on rewriting this thing. It probably won't look very different on the outside, but it will be better over all in the future. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank again for letting me know about this stuff.

Vidman 589 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 well after updating to the new release i can now have 3 devices showing, but it seems the one i set up to test isn't triggering the scenes (Android mobile app) i will not be able the check the other two devices until i fly home in a few hours. curiously after i updated to the latest release i noticed my previous 2 devices has disappeared, was this expected?

chef 3745 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I pushed another fix. I would remove any saved devices from the list, and recreate them. They should stick, and not duplicate. Edited February 25, 2021 by chef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
