Six screens display on Open Tuner in WH mode?
Hi All
My aim is to have six screens displayed through open tuner but I can only get Standard WH working OR Pico Tuner ethernet working...
I have a Winter Hill and a Pico tuner connected via Ethernet
The pico tuner is set to base address 9904 by s/ pins 33/34
Opening Open Tuner I have three sources in drop down, so I select Winter Hill variant.
Selecting source settings I select websocket (ZR6TG
I enter the pico ethernet IO address and altered (9904) as udb base address.
For the WinterHill WS settings I enter its IP
The WH WS Port I leave at 8080 and the WH Udp port I set to 9900
Bottom left box says Pico Tuner (WH) save
Click connect and 4 winter Hill screens show.
Close and open again
Leave on Winter Hill variant Under Source settings I now select Pico Tuner Ethernet and save
Connect
Two screens from the pico tuner ethernet are displayed.
My aim is to have 6 screens displayed at once but obviously missed a step some where.
Could someone please advise what I am doing wrong?
TIA

I am now thinking perhaps it is not possible to display more than 4 screens in Open Tuner.
When displaying 4 screens under Main settings only 4 media players and UDP streams are shown.

Entirely possible as the source code is available:
https://github.com/tomvdb/open_tuner
Unfortunately, it is in c# so not for me, plus you need to understand the logic Tom has developed. I would start with MainForm.cs and if you look in settingsForm.cs you can see there are 4 instances of class combomediaplayer defined, so add another two and adjust the rest of the code to work, ideally allow the number to be arbitrary using an array rather than individually referenced objects.

Good luck, I got Visual Studio working OK but I have not attempted to compile that. Hard enough developing a modbus control app.
