Direct Optical mode - How to

[ogs]

If this works, WOW - and @mingfang is a hero!

seems to not work in my reactors (only premier), even if code is inside the firmware :

My Right Reactor have local Ip 10.0.0.9 :

are those commands ok ? :

curl -s http://10.0.0.9/opticaldirect/enabled -XPOST
#(I rename my SPEAK Right or Left in WEB interface - Here 10.0.0.9 is already named Right)
curl -s http://10.0.0.9/device/name | jq
role=$(curl -s http://10.0.0.9/device/name | jq -r .data.name)
curl -s http://10.0.0.9/opticaldirect/role -d "{\"role\":\"Front$role\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
#volume at 100 :
curl -s http://10.0.0.9/opticaldirect/volume -d "{\"volume\":100}" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
curl -s http://10.0.0.9/device/info | jq
curl -s http://10.0.0.9/opticaldirect/getall | jq

Thank you very much for the script!

That's correct; This only works with Premier and not with Reactor.
I use a Reactor as my center channel so I am actively looking for a solution.

Thanks a lot for the script.
My Phantoms Gold react beautifully to the script, but although I have no means to measure the delay, it seems closer to the 60ms that the DOS2 IOS app allows than the 10ms I was trying to reach. 

Any better results on you end, @mingfang?

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.

Hi Mr. 
As far as I know, you have used optical direct input for quite some time.
Now the dos2 can also use the optical direct input. In this case, can the left and right speakers be paired in stereo? 
Or do I have to input the left and right channels separately?

Since you are the surest experienced person, I ask questions as you know well.
Thank you. ^^

OK, so, after trying what this script does, I found it not working, and I've investigated further and found how to do it:
1. Reset your phantoms (I did it using the web console, but I'm sure that by 3 clicks on power button will work too).
2. Don't use the app to set them up, and instead connect to your router using ethernet cable (ONLY ETHERNET!!! no wifi option).
3. Look for your phantoms IPs and go to those IPs on your browser.
4. Viola, You have this "Enable Optical Direct" right in front of you.
5. After clicking this button, wait 20 Seconds and refresh the page to have the ability to see the "Optical Direct" tab on the top of the page, and there you can configure your channels and volume...

This is much easier that scripts and this stuff that isn't working...

Enjoy

Thank you very much for the how to!

If you're not in a hurry, the new app coming to the premier, including the gold phantoms, should Mark the end of life of the dialog box. You should then get what you want.
I have no idea if the direct optical mode will remain.
With my pair of reactors, the lag with the TV is not perceptible.

Teliaved - Can you clarify what is meant by "End of Life of the Dialog box"

I hope that is not a literal statement of intent sourced from Devialet.

thanks for any related insights!

Thanks so much for posting this! It worked, except after I finished setting them up (Phantom Golds), I unplugged the ethernet cables - and now it seems to not work anymore. Do you know if ethernet is required to keep them working in that mode?
