Direct Optical mode - How to

[frefre]

Correction:
Direct optical mode is achieved using the Devialet Phantom Remote application and NOT Spark.
Once converted, the Phantom speakers can no longer be controlled by Spark.

As mentioned previously the Phantom speakers become 'dumb', only playing audio presented via optical by an outside hardware source.

Thank you. But could you please explain the procedure with the Devialet Phantom Remote current Version 1.12.1(12102)? Is it still pressing ten times on a blank space, because this does not work for me?

Then other mention pressing 5 times the power button at the back of Phantom Premier which I have not tried yet.

X5 time power button : "Store mode" at 190ms (only optical at 190ms), not "low latency optical mode" at 1ms

yes, what is the procedure via the Devialet Phantom Remote current Version 1.12.1(12102)?  curious..... to know that

You are following the correct procedure for DOS 1.  However, no one, to my knowledge, has confirmed that this procedure works with DOS2.
I have no knowledge of the other procedure, other than it is incorrect for DOS1.

After posting, I, belatedly, checked the version of the Devialet Phantom Remote IOS app to discover it has not been updated for 4 years.  It is currently at version 1.0.2.

Clearly, you are using what I suppose is the DOS2 remote app. My apologies for the confusion.

When the thread was created there was only one Devialet Phantom Remote IOS app.

This app still exists in the AppStore named Devialet Phantom Remote.
It may still work with DOS2 Phantoms as may the Direct Optical mode procedure.

Hi Everyone,
I'm waiting for Devialet to send me the instructions to configure Premieres into Low Latency Optical Direct Mode. They will send me the instructions when the fix for the current firmware is released. They are concerned that the fix may alter the instructions, hence the delay. I'll post the instructions as soon as I receive them.

Brilliant. Thanks for your efforts.

Would you consider creating a new thread when you receive the instructions.
A new thread should remove the confusion that is occurring in this thread.

Hi,

even inside javascript of webinterface of my reactor, we can see hidden opticalmode instructions, but how to ?

Using this information I've created a Bash script to set the Devialet Premiere(not Reactor) to Optical Direct Mode, set volume to 70 and set the L/R channels.  You need curl and jq installed.

Code:

volume=70
speakers="192.168.2.103 192.168.2.60"
for host in $speakers; do
  echo $host
  # enable optical direct mode
  curl -s http://$host/opticaldirect/enabled -XPOST
  # name must be Left or Right
  curl -s http://$host/device/name | jq .
  role=$(curl -s http://$host/device/name | jq -r .data.name)
  curl -s http://$host/opticaldirect/role -d "{\"role\":\"Front$role\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
  curl -s http://$host/opticaldirect/volume -d "{\"volume\":$volume}" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
  # print settings to confirm
  curl -s http://$host/device/info | jq .
  curl -s http://$host/opticaldirect/getall | jq .
done

Hi,

I will try, i've just to replace with my SPEAKERS IP :

this line 
speakers="192.168.2.103 192.168.2.60"
to
speakers="10.0.0.9 10.0.0.10"

you are a genius, i will try this afternoon
