Persistent error messages and no volume control Sony HT-ZF9

[ojoaosemtil]

Hello,

I installed the plugin and it shows a lot of errors and I can’t control volume with the remote or any other way. I can add the device in home app and I can turn on, off and change the inputs, but these error is constant in homebridge. It keeps appearing almost every second.

I have a Sony HT-ZF9

Hi, Can't localize the problem yet Can you run the Homebridge in debug mode and drop the logs here again?

[ojoaosemtil]

Ok here it is! Another thing, every time Homebridge shuts down, the input names turn to, for example, "HDMI1" again, even when I named it "Apple TV" in the home app.

[kovalev-sergey]

Can't find the problem yet.

I published a new release with additional debug logging. Whenever there is an opportunity, update and send me fresh logs in debug mode.

As for other problems, I will answer after solving with a flood of errors

Thank you for your participation

P.S. What platform is homebridge running on?

Ok, homebridge is running on a Raspberry Pi. Here are the logs with the new release:

Thank you for the plugin and for your help! :)

[kovalev-sergey]

Thx, OK What I see: your platform (Raspberry) has a process running that responds to discovery requests for SONY devices.

Each device class has a specific header that it responds to. For example, SONY responds to urn: schemas-sony-com: service: ScalarWebAPI: 1. For other devices, the header is different and other devices should not respond to requests for other devices. But some process on your platform (at 0.0.0.0:1901) is responding to this discovery request, which is a violation of the SSDP protocol.

I will make sure that this error does not appear more than once. But I cannot completely hide that error, because this may prevent localizing the problems of other users (when, for example, the user has network problems), after all, the problem is in your network environment.

Hm I get it, I’ve used to use the homebridge-Sony-audio-control plugin, I’ve uninstalled it when I installed this plugin, but maybe something is still on the network. Do you have any idea what could be?

So, because of this, I can’t control volume through the control center remote?

Thank you for the plugin and for your help! :) No problem and thanks for the help testing and catching bugs )

After posting a new release of stopping the flood of errors, I close this issue.

Please create new separate tasks for each issue mentioned in the thread. Most likely these are errors on my side )

No no. Volume is definitely my bug. And I will need your help to solve it )

[ojoaosemtil]

Ok! I can help of course!

I am not familiar with Raspberry but you can google 'how to find which process is using a port'

Look at here https://www.codegrepper.com/code-examples/fortran/kill+running+port+raspberry+pi But you have to look for a process for port 1900

Hello! I don’t know if you changed something but in this new release I keep seeing again a lot of messages about the error: [SonyAudio] Can't retrieve the device description at http://0.0.0.0:1901/index.html: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 0.0.0.0:1901

Is it possible to keep it like before, warning just once? Thank u!

[kovalev-sergey]

Hi @ojoaosemtil I fixed it in v1.0.9

[ojoaosemtil]
