Showing same scenario also in other rooms ?

1. finish your scenario in Scenario Wizard
2. go to Advanced - Scenarios and find your scenario and click on it - you'll get also ticks for other rooms..



This is particularly useful if you have complex scneario with more commands to various devices - repeating all those clicks would be inconvenient.

Start playing playlist in certain Audio zone (doesn't work!)

1. go to Advanced Scenario Wizard
2. add MH Play Media command for Media_Plugin (child of DCERouter)
3. add Filename (#13 Filename (string) ) and Entertainment Area (#45 PK_EntertainArea (string) ).



I have sniffed DCERouter when I start playlist from Orbiter and tried to mimic that command being send, but it doesn't work. Anyone with more insight how to do this properly ?

Turn on an MD and set the lighting in a room

1. Create your Scenario, and using the Lighting Wizard set your lights as you wish
2. Save changes, then change to the Advanced Wizard
3. Add a new command, choose device General Info Plugin (child of the Core)
4. Select the command Wake Device 
5. Enter the id of the Media Director you wish to wake (you can get this from the Media Directors page)
6. Save changes


Turn off an MD

Use the General Info Plugin as above and choose the command Halt Device. In the configuration for the command add the id of the MD

Adding Custom Picture/Image To Scenarios

1. Click Scenario, Under Wizard, select desired Scenarios
2. Select (lets say Video) 3. Under Video scenario, browse picture and update... 4. Regen and Reload 5. All Images must be max size 120 x 120



This is particularly useful if you have complex scneario with more commands to various devices - repeating all those clicks would be inconvenient.
