All rights reserved. 1.0.0 Control4 certified on 1/14/2014 for software released versions: 2.5.1-2.5.2 EXTRA VEGETABLES DRIVER FOR QNAP NAS This driver enables a QNAP NAS to be monitored for content. It will regularly poll the NAS for media content and update Control4 variables as appropriate. Custom Programming can be then be used to rescan the NAS from within Control4. ---------------------------------- BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS - If not using SDDP then ensure the QNAP player either has a static IP address or receives the same IP address from the router using a MAC based reservation. - Make a note of the MAC address of the network port you are connected to on the NAS. - On the Connections Network page set the IP address of the QNAP NAS (this will be automatically filled if using SDDP) - In order to receive updates on the number of media files present on the NAS you must enter the MAC address of the NAS manually into the Properties. - Set the Query interval (in seconds) to check for changes in media. - Add in programming to react to changes in media content. - Refresh the Navigators ---------------------------------- CUSTOM PROGRAMMING There a number of custom programming opportunities with the driver: * Content Monitoring Variables are set with the total of each media type stored on the NAS. You can add programming to rescan the Control4 database when these values change. So when Music Content changes you could start a scan for audio content on the NAS. Variables for the time of the last change both in text form and 'seconds from epoch' are also available, but use the media type variable to trigger scans. This is because a Control4 scan can change the content on the NAS (such as new of revised image count due to cover art download) ---------------------------------- SUPPORT For support on this driver please create a helpdesk ticket at www.extravegetables.com/helpdesk.
