Congruity and Firefox about concordance HOT 9 CLOSED

Unfortunately setup.myharmony.com uses Silverlight and thus you can't just trick Firefox to load it.

For the newer site, you will have to use mhgui which is essentially a front end around the setup.myharmony.com backend. It is distributed with congruity. You'll probably want to use the version from git and not the one that comes with Ubuntu as it will unfortunately be outdated.

Hi Scott:

Thanks for the response, but I suspect I'm in a sort of cloud here. I just downloaded a file:
congruity-18.tar.bz2 - But: the date on the archive is 29 March 2014, so I'm obviously in the wrong place or I misinterpreted your response.

Also, I notice that Ubuntu has a manpage for mhgui (which references your name) and has a link to the file mhgui.1.gz (dated 18 April of this year), which I also downloaded, but haven't attempted to extract. Is this the "version from git" you referred to?

Do I simply need to install the latter, or were you suggesting that I need to load some new version of congruity as well?

Can I have the old and new elements installed simultaneously? My Harmony One works just fine with the "original" members site, but the new 650 requires the Silverlight page. And, do you have a suggested recommendation for the OS alias I need to use with Firefox?

OR: Do you know of anyone who has written up all of this so I can quit bothering you (if you are the developer who set all this up, we all owe you a debt of gratitude for sharing it)?

Thanks for responding regardless...

Hi again Scott:

Of course, as soon as I sent the last message, I stumbled on to your page:
https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01490.html

I confirmed that I do have the python-suds version 0.7 installed on my system (although I have no idea why or what it's currently used for, although the gramps genealogy program is written in python).

So, for the heck of it, I extracted mhgui and ran ./mhgui.1, which gave me the following:

... at which point, the world stopped, and I used Ctrl+C to return.

Whether or not this failure is because I wasn't on-line with Harmony isn't clear to me, since the last programming I did predates Python as far as I know (yes, I'm an old retired fart).

Again, thanks for reading my posts - if you can walk me through all this, I'd be very grateful.

Sorry this isn't documented better. :-) Wow, you found my original email for mhgui. Things have changed a bit since then.

mhgui.1 is the man page, so you can't run that.

To get the latest version from git and run it (it will go into the current directory):

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/congruity/code congruity
cd congruity
./mhgui

Thanks very much Scott.

Right after sending the last message, I decided to read through the code and only then realized it was a man page. I've been away from the world of IT for too long it seems.

Once "git-ting" the actual mhgui, things worked quite a bit better. I very much like the idea of having a dedicated app that chats with the server rather than the "old" way of having the process flip back and forth. I guess I just incorrectly assumed that the new version worked exactly the same as the previous system which is why I was concerned about Firefox: so kudos for the direct attack.

Of course, it's annoying that Logitech wants us to use one method for the Harmony One and one for the 650. For what are (in my view anyway) far and away the best handheld remotes, their creator's approach is rather non user-friendly. Now that I feel safe in acquiring a 650, I'll do so and contact you if I have further questions.

Thanks again for your prompt assistance.

You don't want to execute the Connectivity.EZHex file directly. Instead, you want to run it with Congruity. Does your web browser offer to open the file with Congruity when you download it? If so, do that. If not, you can save the file somewhere and then run "congruity <path_to_ezhex_file>" manually.

Thanks @swt2c for taking this one.

Closing, since I think there's no action here.
