• Improved functionality for the Watch / Listen buttons on the System Remote Control SR-250.
With the 1.7.1 release, you can choose between two modes of operation for the Watch /
Listen buttons on the SR-250. You can select either the toggle most recently used mode or
the new device list mode of operation. This configuration is selected using the Composer
properties page of the SR-250. If you choose to utilize the device list mode of operation, use
the Navigator tab (in Composer Pro, System Design) for the room you are controlling to
configure the device visibility and display order for these menus.
• Support within Composer Pro and driver Web service to enable the downloading of
DriverWorks drivers from the online driver service.
• Support for inter-command delay in one-way serial drivers.

new project after the previous project was cleared.

2.11.1.6 Release 1.7.0
• Media Player and digital video file support. The 1.7.0 release introduces support for Media
Player devices and the ability to select digital video files from Navigator for playback through
Media Player devices. The Media Player devices can be found under the A/V section of My
Drivers in Composer Pro’s System Design view. The Media Player device type
encompasses A/V devices that have the ability to playback or decode digital video files for
playback through standard A/V equipment. Release 1.7.0 includes support for the Netgear
EVA8000 as a Media Player. Digital video files can be stored on a Network File Storage
device in a Control4® system, configured with associated meta-data in Composer Pro’s
Media view and can be selected from Navigator’s Video menu.
• Import DVD List from File. In Composer Pro’s Media view, any Disc Changer can now
quickly and easily be populated with all of the meta-data associated with the DVDs stored in
the Disc Changer. By right-clicking on the Disc Changer in the Media view and selecting, the
“Import DVD List from File” option, Composer Pro will automatically populate the slots of the
Disc Changer with the DVDs stored in each slot as listed in the file that is imported. The
imported file must be a CSV (comma separated value) file listing the slots and the titles of the
DVDs, one per line. This file can be created using a simple text editor or spreadsheet
program by exporting a spreadsheet file in a CSV formatted file. This new feature provides a
simple and easy way to quickly configure all of the DVDs in any manufacturer’s Disc
Changer.
Example formatting for CSV file:
1, Toy Story
2, The Incredibles
3, The Perfect Storm
