Disklavier

Hi

I can get the web page to open by typing in http:// (network location of
disklavier 192. 168. Etc)/prc/index.php and it logs into the yamaha log-in
screen and downloads the file prcstart.php but my android phone cannot open
the file.   I'm not savvy enough with Linux to know how to change that file
name on my phone to incorporate the emulator - so near and yet so far!

Good morning, everyone.

 

Has anyone tried running the Mark IV's Virtual PRC on an Android device,
perhaps using JBED Android Java Emulator or something similar?

 

The normal way to access the Virtual PRC is to:

 

--use your computer to probe your network for a volume whose name starts
with "dkv"

--open the DNA folder inside that volume

--open the file called "prcstart.php"

 

This will launch your web browser which will then copy prcstart.php to a
temporary location on your computer's hard drive and open it with Java.
Along the way, you have to provide a username and password which, by
default, are:

 

root

prcstart

 

I have found that I can save this file to a permanent location on my Mac's
hard drive. Assuming that I have Java installed on my Mac and have changed
the file's name to "prcstart.php.jnlp", I can run this Java application at
will. Interestingly, my Mark IV often does not show up as a volume in my
Mac's Finder. However, this Java application never seems to have trouble
finding the Mark IV on my network.

 

It has occurred to me that perhaps this application could be copied to an
Android device and run in the JBED Android Java Emulator. Unfortunately, I
don't have an Android device with which to experiment.

 

Regards,

DKVBrowser 

 

https://sourceforge.net/projects/dkvbrowser/

 

will give you some control of your new E3 from Windows (it was originally
designed for the MarkIV, so many features will not be available for your
E3).

 

Unfortunately, Yamaha still doesn't support Android in any fashion.
Droidklavier is third-party (MarkIV only, so it wont work with your E3,
though I've considered changing that.)

 

As others have mentioned, a used ipod touch would make a pretty good remote,
but who really wants to add *more* devices when they already have functional
ones?

Dear Carol:

     I was wondering if there was a difference there.  Thank you.

Ted.

That Android App is for the MarkIV which is a different Disklavier.  You
are getting and E3 and would need a different app.

It can be controlled with a computer connected to your home network in the
From/To PC Folder.  You might want to invest in an Apple hand held like a
cell phone sized iPod, or an iPad.  these gadgets also work with Apple TV
and iTunes installed on your PC.

I expect to receive my DU1E3 in Mid March or so.  Yamaha says it can be
controlled with Apple products (ipad, itouch, iphone) but I am a Windows
man.  Can it be controlled with Windows or Android based machines? 

Thanks, 

Ted.
