Autonomic MMS - v 5.0.6
Extra Vegetables' driver for the Autonomic MMS servers and players provides full integration with Control4. Extra Vegetables have worked closely with Autonomic to enable as many features as possible in the driver.
Like all music player drivers within Control4 it is based on the 'iPod template'. This means that music selection is list based. Cover art is only shown on the Now Playing screens. The driver is compatible with the Control4 OSD, remote, all Control4 touch panels and the iPhone and iPad apps. Autonomic will provide this driver free when you purchase one of their Mirage MMS-2 or MMS-5 servers. You simply add a copy of the driver into the Control4 project for each audio output the device has (2, 4 or 5).
Please contact Autonomic Controls for a FREE license key for this driver.
The Extra Vegetables Control4 driver for the Autonomic Mirage and NuVo Music Port MPS4-E implements the following features:
•Allows selection of music on the server.
All music content can be retrieved using a list based interface - similar to an iPod. You can browse the list of music in the same way as you can on the NuVo keypads.
•Access any music services set up on the device.
If you have set up any of the music services available on the servers the driver will provide access to these. These are all presented under the device in list format. Please note the music services available depends on which server you have.
•Cover Art on Now Playing Screen
When music starts playing the driver retrieves the cover art from the server and displays this on the Now Playing mini-app and Now Playing screen. On the iPod and iPad Control4 apps this appears in the small Now Playing bar at the bottom of the screen.
•Programming functions for Keypads and Wake Up Calls
The driver includes 'Device Specific Commands' to allow an Artist, Album, Genre, Playlist or RadioStation to start playing. This can be used in Custom Programming to allow quick selection from a keypad button or as part of a wake up call.
•IP Control- the driver uses IP control.
Since your Control4 system and server will already be connected to your home network it means there are no additional cables to be run. •Works with all outputs
The driver will work with servers with all number of audio outputs. You simply add a copy of the driver for each output or zone the server has. Remember you only need one license per project - not per output!.
