@Seexelas

FWIW i'm not yet targeting 1.3.x betas in the plugin (albeit also running them) until 1.3.0 is actually out. I've also seem that error (should be harmless) but only when not running the default bonjour-hap backend i.e only when using ciao as the mDNS Advertiser Library. (vd https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/issues/2765). which one are you running on your setup ?

thanks in advance!

Marfre888 commented 3 years ago

@AntonioMeireles I came here to report this exact thing..

Can confirm that the error is produced when ciao is used and not when bonjour-hap is used.

Thanks

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

@Marfre888

Hi again && thanks for confirming it. will dig :-)

Marfre888 commented 3 years ago

Hi :)

Seems fairly harmless from my experience. I have it set to a child bridge and that seems to be working correctly.

This is my error, if it helps point you in the right direction. What it feels like to me is that they have tightened the timeout tolerances so now it spits out this error quicker. I've had other plugins doing it intermittently too.

@Marfre888

hi,

give a try please, when you have time, to latest homebridge-vieramatic@3.0.1. should had made most if not all the warning go away. If not, please post here the ones you're getting.

Thanks in advance and have a great weekend!

Hello, I'm running Homebridge V1.3.0 and Vieramatic plugin on version V3.0.1 version and I'm still getting the same error

@WummoFTW

many thanks for reporting! But things still work, sanely right ? also, using ciao mdns backend ? could you tell us more about your homebridge setup ? [trying to spot a pattern to get rid of the warnings in all fronts].

thanks in advance and have a great weekend!

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

@WummoFTW

btw - the warnings are now only about the characteristic 'Active' ?

Same here.. only about Active

The problem seems to only pop up if my TV is off. The plugin insists on getting TV volume, otherwise seems to be working correctly. Will try to enable Ciao and report back

@Marfre888 @WummoFTW

Thanks both!

humm... so this is only an issue now if and when the TV is down. makes more sense now. will see what i can do...

Marfre888 commented 3 years ago

Will do some more testing cause I only had time to do some quick runs, but it’s looking like that to me yes

Marfre888 commented 3 years ago

Yeah, it seems the problem now is only with ‘Active’

However I’m getting spammed with ‘unable to get volume from TV’ which only happened once after the plugin was restarted before yesterday’s update. Note: This only happens when the TV is off from the wall.

i do expect to have a fix for this later today. thanks you all for your patience and great feedback!

Thanks, I just opened the logs to see is everything was working well after the big update, and the logs only had '‘unable to get volume from TV' in it, about 1 every 5sec or so.. I've gone back down to 2.0.26, as it seems the problem started with update 3.0

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

it should be harmless, fwiw.

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

could you all give a try to homebridge-vieramatic@3.0.3 that i've just got published ?

it should get us all rid of the (getVolume) unable to get volume from TV... spam.

thanks in advance!

Dreiviertelblut commented 3 years ago

The entries (getVolume) in the log every 5 Seconds is solved with V3.0.3. Many thanks for the quick support.

Nevertheless, everytime, when opening Homebridge gui (homebridge-config-ui-x) or by doing some actions with it, the entry with the getVolume is there again. Note: I have not configured Volume of my TV to show up in Homekit, as I don't need it. But it is shown as seperate device in homebridge gui. Is that intended? Just a thought, as it is creating log entries without reason now....

AntonioMeireles commented 3 years ago

@Dreiviertelblut

homebridge-vieramatic@3.0.4 is just out and reduces noise level a bit more. check plz if it is enough 😄

Dreiviertelblut commented 3 years ago

Yes, that did the trick. Many thanks. :-)
