Input names are wrong and can't be changed

[Kienz]

I named the Inputs (eg. HDMI1-> Playstation, HDMI3 -> Apple TV etc.) in the Yamaha AVR App. But the plugin displays HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3 etc.
And if I rename them in the Home App they are changed back after some seconds.

Version: 3.0.0

Sounds like the plug-in may be unable to write to the cache directory.

Are you using the default cache directory or have you specified one?

Anything in the log?

[Kienz]

Homebridge is installed into /var/lib/homebridge
There exists the folder .yamahaAVR. In the plugin config /var/lib/homebridge/.yamahaAVR is set as cache directory.
If I change HDMI3 to Apple TV the content of /var/lib/homebridge/.yamahaAVR/hdmi3 is:
{"ConfiguredName":"Apple TV","CurrentVisibilityState":0}
I can't see anything in the logs - there should be something like Set input (${input.id}) name to ${name} - or?

[Kienz]

Ok - now I see [Yamaha AVR] Set input (audio1) name to TV Audio. And there a lot of [Yamaha AVR] AVR PING { power: 'standby', input: 'hdmi3'
Is it possible the AVR PING resets the naming? Because some names are changed - maybe timing problem?

[ACDR]

The PING simply checks for the power state and the active input ID & updates the app in HomeKit if it changes externally (e.g. with the physical AVR remote).

The cache for the main zone should be under a main directory, under .YamahaAVR. Have you tried removing the device (if it's one set up in v2 of the plug-in) and manually adding the new Main Zone device for v3?

[Kienz]

There is no maindirectory under .yamahaAVR. I complete deinstalled the plugin and removed the accessory. But still no mainfolder.

[Kienz]

After the log output Current main input ... the names / visibility are changed back.

[ACDR]

Can you rename/delete the .YamahaAVR folder & reboot Homebridge - see if the directory is recreated?

[Kienz]

If I rename the inputs or change visibility and restart the homebridge it shows correct.

[Kienz]

The folder .yamahaAVR is recreated with all inputs - but no main folder.

[ACDR]

I think I've managed to replicate the issue. Appears we may be restoring the input name from a stale cache when HomeKit requests an updated name. Fix incoming.

As for the missing main cache directory - this isn't created if the cacheDirectory has been set in the config - a fix for this will also be be included (you'll should be able to simply move your existing cache data into this directory once updated).

Should be fixed in 3.0.1-beta.1 - can you please test and confirm?

Downlaoded the beta version as well - could not change devices (like airplay, tv or so) anymore, just seeing "on, on, on, on, on, on, ..." in HomeKit

You'll need to close the Home app and open again.

OMG - never mind, I'm so sorry -.-' works now!
