@sdetweil see your totally awesome that’s fixed now wahoo

with your help im sure you could help me get this working awsome

[sdetweil]

@hawkeye i just searched in the forum on 2.11 remote control, that was the top result

[hawkeye]

I deleted every thing in the socketclient.js file and replaced with the following now the remote works like a charm

var MMSocket = function(moduleName) {
var self = this;

if (typeof moduleName !== "string") {
	throw new Error("Please set the module name for the MMSocket.");
}

self.moduleName = moduleName;

// Private Methods
self.socket = io("/" + self.moduleName);
var notificationCallback = function() {};

var onevent = self.socket.onevent;
self.socket.onevent = function(packet) {
	var args = packet.data || [];
	onevent.call(this, packet);    // original call
	packet.data = ["*"].concat(args);
	onevent.call(this, packet);      // additional call to catch-all
};

// register catch all.
self.socket.on("*", function(notification, payload) {
	if (notification !== "*") {
		notificationCallback(notification, payload);
	}
});

// Public Methods
this.setNotificationCallback = function(callback) {
	notificationCallback = callback;
};

this.sendNotification = function(notification, payload) {
	if (typeof payload === "undefined") {
		payload = {};
	}
	self.socket.emit(notification, payload);
};

};

@hawkeye Thank you for posting. This corrected my problem! I have so much to learn. Off to my next issue with getting the Google Photos module to work.

there was a bug in 2.11 for that file… fixes only come every 3 months… so the workaround it to put the old file back
