Hello, Please could the IP4 be mountable on the d-Live. All other controllers seem to be except the IP4. I have a select few conferences where a IP4 controller needs to have control of mute groups. I currently use a stream deck with companion but companion D-Live updates have now stopped. The function works on a AHM but is quite complicated and unnecessary adding another point of failure.

Many thanks,

Just as a heads up: there is a new dLive companion version (no update of the old iteration) supporting almost all fw2 functionality for more than six months now.

I will check it out. My freelancers couldn’t get the latest version working a month ago. They rolled back 1 year which worked first time. They somehow found out the guy who had been updating it since sold his D-Live therefore didn’t have the need to carry it on.

At one point I looked at code for at least one version of the old Companion plugin. Its implementation of the proprietary AHNet protocol skipped a step in the connection process. As a result, I would expect many things to break with a major firmware release like v2.x.
