Devices not Appearing in Sources & Apps was created by Gerald Graef
I started setting up MyServer 6 a couple of months ago but wasn't able to do the SmartRemote setup until now. Alas, I suspect I did something wrong because only one device shows under Sources&Apps (e.g Roku does not show).  The "unknown" room was missing so as a long shot I tried adding it but still doesn't work. Any thoughts on what I can try to get devices showing up?  The Roku device type is set to Roku.

Thanks!
Gerry

David,
Thanks for the response.  The issue was a typo/mis-match curtesy of doing this too late at night...

Follow on quesiton: I have an AVR in my theater but the SmartRemote hard volume buttons are always resolving to change the display volume.  I see the SR is sending a "Volume" command but don't see where a (presumably?) default to use the display volume is over-written.  The "activate.room" macro has the line to override default volume setup as does the "volume.room" macro.  Yet this is the command the server is processing:
AV|{{{{activeroom_{{clientname}}}}_display_id}}~Volume~up from remote

What needs to be set to get the SR to use the AVR (denon in this case) to process volume/mute buttons?

Thanks!
Gerry

See How it Works section at bottom.
If you make the edits and it's not working, post what you edited and the myServer event log on what is processing.

The onlychange I made was to the "Active-room.theater" macro, and that was to uncomment the following line (and change 0 to 5):
    // The device in the room that controls volume and mute. Uncomment to override default!
    SetVariable|{{activeroom_{{clientname}}}}_avamp_id~5

I have five sets of auto-gen macros created for the theater room: (comments removed for brevity) 
active-room.theater
    SetActiveRoom|Theater!
    ActivateRoomDevices|{{activeroom_name_{{clientname}}}}!
    SetVariable|{{activeroom_{{clientname}}}}_avamp_id~5!  << I uncommented this

display.theater
    AV|{{theater_display_id}}~Power~<p1>!

power.theater
    AV|{{theater_avamp_id}}~Power~<p1>!
    AV|{{theater_display_id}}~Power~<p1>!

volume.theater
    AV|{{theater_avamp_id}}~Volume~<p1>~3!

volumemute.theater
    AV|{{theater_avamp_id}}~Volume~<p1>~3!

For reference:
theater_display_id = 4
theater_avamp_id = 5

The event log shows the Roku being called to change volume:
 

On a side note, the moonlight screens volume works fine though.
