Later, when we try to connect our XPanel, it will fail due to the self-signed certificate and try to redirect us to the sign-in page. If you just did a restore, then you’re back to using the self-signed certificate anyway. Technically, you only need to do this if using a non-CA-signed certificate (such as the default self-signed one). The other setting we need to check is: CP4> webserver allowsharedsession on You’ll lose all the settings on your controller, though. Type restore in Text Console if you need to go this route. If you see that your trial period has expired, you’ll need to do a factory restore to reset it. Issue the following command: CP4> crestrononetpr This may change in the future, but this seems to be how Crestron allows testing right now.Ĭonnect to your controller using Text Console in Toolbox. This won’t work with VC-4 right now unless you also have Room Licenses in XiO Cloud. I didn't make any changes to this to make it easier to read or copy, literally just copied and pasted the snippet.At long last, Crestron has an updated XPanel that doesn’t rely on Adobe Flash! Unfortunately, there are some issues surrounding it regarding the licensing, but there is a free 60-day trial period that should hopefully get us through this series of posts! Prerequisitesįirst and foremost, you need an actual 3- or 4-series control system (hardware appliance) to play around with the HTML5 XPanel. It's not a complete script, but the general concept of "open the zip file, access environment.xml, make a change, rezip things back up" should work.ĮDIT: TO be clear there are some variables declared at the top of my file that you'll need to declare to make this work, stuff like $tempfile and $LocalFile.

That's a snippet from a script I wrote that replaced the word "CustomName" on the panel with a variable that was grabbed earlier in the script. ::CreateEntryFromFile($zip, $tempfile, "swf/Environment.xml") | Out-Null # Delete the existing Environment.xml file inside the vtz # Open a Stream Writer and write the xml data to a new temporary file $text = $text -replace "CustomName", $CustomName # Replace the existing button text ('CustomName') with the name the user provided $reader = New-Object IO.StreamReader($stream)

# Read the Environment.xml file into memory # Find the Environment.xml file and open it

Something like this # Open the vtz as a zip fileĪdd-Type -assembly "system.io.compression.filesystem"

On the plus side it shouldn't be too difficult to script editing environment.xml in powershell.
