AMP Support #1

Closed msiefertwm closed 5 years ago

msiefertwm commented 6 years ago

Describe the feature I'd like to be able to control my Grass Valley K2 Solo 2-Channel Media Server via the AMP protocol. Specifically, I'm looking for transport control (Play, Stop, etc). (The protocol allows for transport control and media filing control.)

Is this platform dependent (windows, mac, ..)? No.

If documentation is required to implement, do you know where to find it? The best documentation to implement is found here: http://www.gvgdevelopers.com/concrete/apis/amp_protocol/

Usecases This would be important for anyone using Grass Valley gear. The AMP protocol is used in most of their products, so creating this would enable a number of GV devices to be used with Companion.

Thanks for considering this!

Started development here: https://github.com/bitfocus/companion-module-amp

But I think I need access to an actual device to continue the development. Too many unanswered things in the manuals. But theoretically I could load a clip and play it now.

Would you have the possibility to give me network access to your GV K2 Solo at some time?

We’ve some K2 in our systems, let me know if we can help!

haakonnessjoen commented 6 years ago

Geat! Please download the latest bleeding edge from https://builds.bitfocus.io/companion/ and see if it is able to control your K2's. And if not, if we could fix some way for me to connect to a K2 device for å a short while, via internet or vpn or something similar. That would be awesome :)

Happy to test against it locally, the IT folk like to keep the shields up as much as possible.

Update: Tested with feaf8a0-osx no joy. Did a quick Wireshark to see what was going on, no traffic to that IP. Thought that was fishy, went to try a HyperDeck. Same deal, no joy (different instance).

To be clear, the K2 in question was routable and responded fine to pings.

Went back to the last stable 1.1.1 release and works just fine to HyperDeck, wondering if there's not something sideways in that build. Putting it on the shelf for a bit, I'll give it another go tomorrow or in the days to come.

That is very weird. Nothing should have been changed in the network stack between those versions. Could you try the current latest build though? An do they say OK in the instance overview?

@haakonnessjoen renewed Vision PVP 2 supports AMP protocol as well maybe you could test using that, I Tested yesterday with no luck but have not looked at the code yet.

@danielmerchen Could you try again now? And could we maybe test with Teamviewer at some point?
