dLive Vu meter access

[CollinsCochran]

Hello all!

I am developing some systems to remotely control my dLive via midi commands, and so far things seem to be working. However, I would like to return to the user of the dashboard (soft panel via webui i built) the approximate level of a given input stripe.

I am able to query the mixrack for the position of a fader for a given input, but it doesn’t look like I can get the level information for the actual channel.

Any ideas? I know that capturing packets between dlive director and the mixrack show heaps of UDP packets which I imagine are those level information packets, it must not be available via MIDI. I’d love to be wrong tho! This would add a very nice touch.

Thanks!

I believe MIDI could be too slow for real time metering.

If you are looking for Fader levels https://www.allen-heath.com/media/dLive-MIDI-Over-TCP-Protocol-V1.9.pdf the GET command is implemented in V1.9.

Meters is not Being send out thru the Midi over TCP/IP implementation.

I haven’t delved too deep into the dLive’s MIDI capabilities, but I don’t think there was anything about metering in there. You might have to reverse-engineer their network protocol and pretend to be an instance of the director software.

Let me know if you figure it out… I’d love to tinker with it.

Oh! Can you somehow use A&H custom control app? I know that supports meters because I’ve done it.
