As part of a connected ecosystem myriad can be configured to accept incoming connections from other software to allow remote control - examples of this are connections from, Myriad Playout Remote and also the Log Smart Transfer feature introduced in Myriad Playout v5.22, as well as from smarter mixer devices like Axia Pathfinder.
The image below shows 3 connections that allow direct access to the Command Processor - this can be accessed via TCP (default port 6950), UDP (default port 6959) and finally via a Serial "COM" port - often used for keyboards like the K500 etc. These are all shown in the green box.
There are also 2 options in Playout Settings to control connections for advanced remote connection products like Myriad Playout Remote and Smart Transfer - the first option (defaults to port 900) allows connections from older Myriad v5 (pre v5.22) tools, and the second (locked to port 9180) allows HTTP 'Service' connections for modern tools and other API control. These are shown in the red box.
HTTP Service Connections:
By default Windows does not allow HTTP connections for security reasons, so once you turn on the option in Settings you will also need to enable this feature from within Windows.
Run an 'Elevated Command Prompt' (aka Run Command Prompt as Administrator) and run this command:
netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:9180/ user=Everyone
You will also need to enter these commands into the command prompt to allow the connection through the Windows Firewall (Note, the first command removes any older firewall rules):
netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="Myriad Playout v5 HTTP Connection" dir=in protocol=TCP localport=9180 netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Myriad Playout v5 HTTP Connection" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=9180
Older Myriad v5 software Connections:
Note: This connection option will be removed in Myriad Playout v5.23 as it is no longer needed.
You will also need to enter these commands into the command prompt to allow the connection through the Windows Firewall (Note, the first command removes any older firewall rules):
netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="Myriad Playout v5 Legacy Connection" dir=in protocol=TCP localport=9100 netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Myriad Playout v5 Legacy Connection" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=9100
