STV Import: CallerID/Message popup plugin

[KJake]

Here's the java and source and a little bit of some stvi work for sagemc that I started. Studio is waaay to frustrating to get working - and i've already spent two hours just goofing off in it. This won't import right, like I assumed it would, so only use it for reference...ha. Documentation on the java included.

downloadNumbers will download a comma-delimited list of the numbers on your Vonage account so that you can select which one of the numbers to ring-back to.

placeCall is what it sounds like.

this would be placed in SageTV/SageTV/vonage2sage/Click2Call.class to run from sage.

sleep time.

edit: also, don't use capital letters in your username, the service doesn't like it. i guess they're not case sensitive since it works. password, i'm not sure about, my password has all lowers already.

I know I am a few years too late on this, but the wiki isn't there anymore. Is there an updated wiki for download and installation? I am running a single sage server with Sage MC. No extenders, no clients.

Thank you!

Thanks for the info gplasky.



**I got it working in test mode, now need to hook the phoneline up for a true test**
Thanks Again.

Ok Had it working, then it doesn't. Reset the Sage Server, reset the YAC server, nada.

1- Sage TV server with Shadeblues plugin. Port number is defines in sage.properties

2- Different PC in home has modem ad yac server. when a call comes in , the yac server shows the number in the windows bubble.

Seems issue is between the Yac server and Yac client/sage plugin.

Neither Sage plugin nor the yac client picks up the test call from the yac server.

Any suggestions?

... a couple of thoughts ...

1.) Do you have the YAC client installed on the SageTV server? If so, this could create a conflict if both the SageTV Caller ID Plugin and the YAC client are trying to listen on the same port. If so, just close/disable the YAC client, restart the SageTV server and test again.

2.) If you are attempting to configure the YAC software to send out messages over a port that is different than the default port, then you will need Nielm's modified version of YAC to support alternate port numbers.

I have the Listeners setup as 192.168.1.105:10629 on the YAC Server PC

Sage Properties Entries:

load_at_startup_runnable_classes=net.sf.sageplugins.webserver.StartServer;sagex.jetty.starter.Main;com.shadeblue.sage.InfoPopup.StartListener

shadeBlue/infopopup/bind_addr=0.0.0.0
shadeBlue/infopopup/bind_port=10629

:End Sage Properties

I do not have the YAC client (or service) running.
I restarted the Sage Server service and application.
I am using the patched version of the Yac Server.
Still no workie when test listeners from YAC Server PC.

Any firewalls on the SageTV server that might be blocking the port?
From any PC other than the SageTV server, try to telnet into the SageTV YAC listener port. "TELNET 192.168.X.X 10629". It won't display anything, but it should at least connect. If no connection can be established, then the plugin is not running or not listening on that port, or the port is being blocked.

Hey, thanks for the assistance.

Firewall is off.
Telnet was successful, just brings up an empty cmd box.

I will keep testing.

So it sounds like the SageTV caller ID plugin is install and accessible. Good. Next, I would try putting the YAC client on the SageTV server. You will have to stop Sage before running the YAC client or they will compete for the same listener port. Test and see if the YAC server is sending data and being received by the YAC client. Basically just taking the SageTV plugin out of the mix to see if YAC is working by itself.

Thanks, SB

Trying to find nielm's caller-id program so I can use the modified yac. The Wiki is no longer there.

That is why I reference Shadeblue's version. This will work with the regular yac and multiple extenders including MVPs. Why do you think you need the modified yac?

I wanted to run yac with a different port on my server. Per Shadeblue you need that verison of yac to use a different port.

But thanks for inquiry, got it from another user.

From the original YAC readme:

Q: Can YAC use a different port?
A: Yes. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\YAC, and set Port = [PortNumber]. This key needs to be a string of type REG_SZ. The default is TCP port 10629.

I use a version called yacudpservice. It's seperate exe that runs as a service and has it's own configuration program. It uses udp port 10629 but doen't have a configuration for the port. I have it running on my WHS.

I downloaded nielm's YAC .exe file to replace the original so that I could send YAC to different ports. Now, I would like to be able to run two (or more) instances of YAC at once to be able to monitor two different lines. Then, using nielm's replacement, I could send the information from each YAC instance to a different port on the same computer. Using a YAC listener with a customizable full screen GUI, I could alter the font and background color in each instance, having a different display for each telephone line:

Modem One --> YAC Instance One on Server Computer ---> Computer1.Port1

Modem Two --> YAC Instance Two on Server Computer ---> Computer1.Port2

I think I read somewhere on this forum that someone offered to modify YAC to allow multiple instances.

1) Is anyone here able/willing to do so? nielm's version would be the ideal version to modify.

2) I confess I am not a SageTV user, but this thread has been so incredibly useful, I thought I might inquire here. With this hack, you could send different telephone lines to different ports, and do different things with them.

Thank you!
