Alienware 13R2 - kinda working

[mungewell]

The 13R2 only has 8 zones, setup as per attachment. controller_13R2.py.zip

There is a problem that if the other zones are not defined then an error is thrown.

Exception in thread Thread-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner

    zones |= self.zone_map[zone]
KeyError: u'Left Speaker'

Unfortunately having them defined means that they show up on the list on usable zone... Simon

Simon,

sorry for the delayed reply. I haven't used Linux (and my Alienware M14x) for ages now, so I wont be able to provide any active support. However, I welcome pull requests with support for new Alienware models. I've merged your recent pull request, thanks for that!

I've been trying to do some research on the zones for the m13xR2 with no luck so far. But I'll keep trying...

Did you ever get alienfx working on your m13xr2?
