slPhantomRemote is a WinForms application for discovering, connecting to, and controlling Devialet speakers using the Devialet IP Control API. The application provides device discovery via mDNS, playback control, source management, audio features, and logging capabilities.

Contents

Overview & Goals

This application provides:

Built for .NET 8.0 (WinForms), the application minimizes external dependencies while providing a user experience with audio control capabilities.

Dependencies

The application is designed with minimal external dependencies, ensuring a small installation footprint and reduced security surface area.

Architecture & Design Patterns

Namespace Architecture

The application supports three Devialet API namespaces with intelligent fallback and automatic detection:

Namespace Endpoint Pattern Use Case Default
Devices /ipcontrol/v1/devices/current/ Individual speaker control No
Systems /ipcontrol/v1/systems/current/ Stereo pairs, multi-device setups Yes
Groups /ipcontrol/v1/groups/current/ Zone control, logical groupings No

Users can switch between namespaces via a dropdown in the control interface, with the selection persisted in configuration and automatic namespace detection based on device capabilities.

UI State Management

The application implements a dual-mode interface pattern with smooth transitions:

Discovery View: Device list with mDNS discovery, favorites management with star icons, hidden device support, and manual entry with IP validation
Control View: Comprehensive device control interface with real-time status, Unicode-based playback controls, advanced audio features, and source management with color coding
Detached Log Window: Real-time verbose logging with configurable positioning, auto-scroll with pause capability, and persistent window state

Configuration Management

All settings are persisted to config.json with advanced features:

EQ Endpoint Info
GET, POST, /systems/{systemId}/settings/audio/equalizer Query or set equalizer gains/preset for the designated system. Minimal version: - DOS >= 2.16 Parameters / fields: { enabled: , (GET only) preset: , currentEqualization: (GET only) { BAND_LABEL: { frequency: (optional), gain: }, ... }, customEqualization: (optional for POST) { BAND_LABEL: { gain: }, ... }, gainRange: (GET only) { min: , max: , stepPrecision: }, availablePresets: (GET only) [ , ... ] } enabled indicates if the equalizer is active. It can become inactive in certain special audio processing modes of the product. When it is inactive, the client application may manipulate all the settings as usual, but there will be no audible impact. However, for better user experience, it is usually recommended to disable equalizer controls in this case. This field is read-only (the equalizer can not be re-enabled via this endpoint). preset is the selection of one of the available presets. Possible values are "flat", "custom", and "voice". currentEqualization provides gains and other information for all bands for the currently used equalizer preset. Different systems may have different BAND_LABEL values. BAND_LABEL examples include: "low", "high". currentEqualization.frequency provides a user-facing “central frequency” (it actually may be rounded) for the given band, in hertz. This value may be absent. currentEqualization.gain provides a positive or negative gain for the given band, in steps (may be fractional). customEqualization provides gains and other information for all bands for the "custom" equalizer preset. The BAND_LABEL values are the same as in currentEqualization above. customEqualization.gain provides a positive or negative gain for the given band, in steps (may be fractional). For POST requests, it will be rounded to the nearest authorized value by the device (in this case, the value read back by the client application may be slightly different). If the value is out of authorized bounds, "InvalidValue" error code is reported. Although these gains only have an effect when the "custom" preset is selected, it is possible to change their values at any time. The stored custom gain values can be modified independently from the preset. I.e., one can modify custom gain values while using a different (non-"custom") preset. Also, modifying just a preset does not trigger any changes to the stored custom gain values. The gains may be provided either simultaneously for all or for some bands (in which case the device guarantees to apply the new settings for all provided bands at the same moment) or one by one. Both preset and customEqualization are present in the response. However, customEqualization can be omitted in the POST request, in which case the values of the gains corresponding to the "custom" preset will not be modified. If provided equalizer parameters already correspond to the current state, the call will succeed. gainRange.min provides the minimal authorized value for the gain when using the "custom" preset, in steps. It applies to all bands. gainRange.max provides the maximal authorized value for the gain when using the"custom" preset, in steps. It applies to all bands. gainRange.stepPrecision provides the step precision, in arbitrary units. This value determines how the gain rounding operates: the gain values are rounded to the nearest positive or negative multiple of the step precision. This value can be used by the client application to adapt the UI so as to match the device gain precision as closely as possible. Typical values are 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, and 1. availablePresets provides a full list of available equalizer presets on the designated system. For POST requests, if the system leader is absent, the "SystemLeaderAbsent" error code is reported. GET example: { "preset": "flat", "currentEqualization": { "low": { "frequency": 400, "gain": 0 }, "high": { "frequency": 2000, "gain": 0 } }, "customEqualization": { "low": { "gain": -0.5 }, "high": { "gain": 2.25 } }, "gainRange": { "min": -6, "max": 6, "stepPrecision": 1 }, "availablePresets": [ "flat", "custom", "voice" ] } POST example 1: { "preset": "custom", "customEqualization": { "low": { "gain": 3.0 }, "high": { "gain": 3.0 } } } POST example 2: { "preset": "flat" }
