Direct Optical mode - How to

[denis]

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

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?

Are you using the lastest DOS2 version ?

At some point there was a DOS2 bug in direct optical mode : if you remove the ethernet cables after setting the direct opticla mode, many weird things happen (no more stereo, sometime no audio at all, or sound level dropping on one of the two speaker, etc)...
Stopped using this mode then...

Had Devialet numerous time, they finally found the bug last October but I don't know if this has been included in current firmware, as I did not try again to use this mode...
Hope this help.
