Artwork loading added to libqiscp

Worked a bit on libqiscp today and added support for receiving and decoding artwork data the receiver might send. The decoding into a QImage works very well, but the next thing is to somehow get that transferred to the QtQuick side.

Artwork loaded trough ISCP


I imagine a QDeclarativeImageProvider would be the proper way, but the thing is I don't know really how to connect that into the dynamically created QtQuick ISCP object(s).
Any ideas ?

Zone handling in Onkyo ISCP

Is kinda annoying.

My device has 2 zones, Master and Zone 2. Onkyo devices can have up to four zones. You can ask the device if the zones are powered, and it can say 01 for powered, 00 if off and N/A if the zone does not exist. So probing what zones are available should be just a matter of asking the power information, and ignore zones that say N/A, right ?

Nope, my 2 zone device answers for Zone 3 with a 00 and for Zone 4 N/A. Sigh...

Oh and no, I can't turn on Zone 3, it just answers with 00. And just for fun I plugged in a USB Sound card as I noticed the firmware contains snd-usb-audio.ko module, but no, no such luck, no Zone 3. Oh, yes, your Onyko runs Linux in case you didn't know that yet.

QtQuick friendly Onkyo ISCP remote protocol library

There are some ready made apps and code around, but none that was easy to plug into QtQuick or in library format so I scratched that itch myself for a change and wrote a simple library.

Still working on figuring out some of the more complicated commands like controlling network playback, but all the basic stuff is there. Will be in a git repo soonish.

Screenshot of test app below, UI is pure QML. (Yes it simple and ugly, it is a test app)

The ultimate ISCP commander!
And yes, this means there will be an application for Jolla and BlackBerry 10 in the near future.
