We are getting ready to switch over from using Master Control to Myriad. To enable us to take IRN we have developed our  own gadget for turning the fader on or off. This pickes up a 1 or a 0 being send out from the playout machine to a small programme that listens for it on the server & then tells out box to send the closure. It works fine currently.

However, with Myriad the recieving software is picking up the 1 & the 0 from the myriad playout machine, but it is not making the closure. It seems that directly after the 1 or the 0, it is also sending some verticle lines, which i'm told are carriage returns.

We are simply sending a 1 or 0 to our server ip & port 1001 using the myriad built on ip/tcp command feature.

Has anyone come across this before & is there a way for stopping the pc sending the carriage returns?

Hi Glen,

We've just looked at the code for how this works and unfortunately it's automatically appending the CRLF sequence to the end of the TCP String thats being sent.

The good news is that we've now fixed this and this should solve this for you.

This fix will be included in the next release of Myriad - we don't have a date for this yet, but are hoping to make an announcement in the very near future.
