I did reply in the other topic, but I saw this one has new comments also. So anyway My Handy is still on firmware v3, using HandyControl 1.2.3 it still seems to work, tho I have not actually “used” it to run through a whole script so im not sure if the speed and timings have suffered at all.

Little update. I got help from the devs and the latency issue is fixed now. Now I can have a look deeper in the code and see how this new API realy works.

Can anyone tell to how to connect my handy to handycontrol 1.2.3? I am not sure what should i fill in the server address and custom server. Really hard to use 
@robot0414 I don’t know if you still need help with this, but here’s what my settings look like:
It’s been ages since I messed with any of it, but it works for me so I just keep it that way lol
Also, not sure if you whited-out the connection key or if you just didn’t have one in the box, but just in case – You gotta put your Handy Connection Key from https://handyfeeling.com/ in there so it can connect to your toy.
I hope any of that helps, or that you’ve figured it out since your post 
Someone else can help if you’re still having trouble, but I just wanted to chime in 
Very happy this works again! Only problem I have is that the return to script mode doesn’t work. It seem to execute it but it will never play scripted action again after having used a setting through the controller.
Does anyone know of a fix for the return to script mode? I’ve tried a bunch of older versions and even downgraded handy firmware and nothing works.
I’ve set up the Handy with HandyControl, and have got it kinda working with DeoVR. I can load a video, which loads the script, then they both play together. However, if I try and change the timestamp in HandyControl, it resets the video but not the script - leaving me to manually align it. I’m also getting these errors in the console, can anyone help?

I’m in a bit of a pickle. I had to do a refresh on my PC because of other issues cropping up, so I’m having some problems getting this program set up again. My scripts are on my NAS structured in directories like this…
| Script Folder | Subfolder 1 | Subfolder 2 | Subfolder 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| scripts | Folders 1-10 | Folder 1 | Folder 1 filled with scripts and videos |
| … | |||
| Folder 10 | Folder 10 filled with scripts and videos | ||
| Folders 11-20 | Folder 11 | Folder 11 filled with scripts and videos | |
| … | |||
| Folder 20 | Folder 20 filled with scripts and videos | ||
| … | |||
| … |
It’s where where I have a good 10+ folders on the base of the script directory. Each have 10 folders in them, and each of those folders can have a range of 10-40 scripts with accompanied videos each. So, I have a LOT of scripts, but even with that prior to my refresh, I was able to navigate relatively well through right-clicking in the program and entering the Script Folder. A few seconds per folder wasn’t bad at all, and I could see the heatmaps of scripts when I got down to that point as I had that option checked.
But now, it takes an eternity. Even just setting up the directory for the script folder took a very long time, like it was trying to process everything in it down to the deepest subfolders. I checked Task Manager, and it showed the program utilizing at least 3Mbps of network data for the duration. I unchecked everything in that category and even set preview limit low, and it still just as much time for it to run its course. I go to access the Script Folder with the right-click, and once again, it’s taking forever just to list the direct subfolders for it, which have absolutely no scripts in it. When it finally listed the subdirectories of Subfolder 1, it shows it had counted every script down into them. When I go to select one of those subfolders, it doesn’t take as long because of fewer scripts to examine deep down, but still a lot longer than before my PC refresh.
I don’t recall if there was something I did before that prevented this long delay each time, but it’s really quite upsetting that this is happening. Any thoughts?
Well, turns out it was my VPN. I use NordVPN, and when the Malware Scanner is active under Threat Protection Pro, it causes my local network connection apps to run incredibly slow. I don’t recall if that was something I had active before, but I might as well disable it for now until I feel the need to enable it again.
I feel like I must be missing something very obvious - I cannot for the life of me figure out how to “press play” because the button remains grayed out no matter what I’ve tried
OK, that’s good news; so I won’t put off getting the new H2P
So how far are you getting?
You have to be connected to your Handy.
This works for Handy2 too.
In your File Explorer window, your video and funscript file have to have the same name.
Drag and drop the funscript file to the HandyControl window.
Then click the second icon from the left (indicated by the red square in the pic above) to load the script to the Handy. When you do this, media player will also open.
The player controls will then become ungreyed and you will be able to press the play button.
So how far are you getting? Is any part of this not working properly?
Is there any workaround for the stroke setting not working? Or any way to downgrade handy’s firmware?
I really liked using this app / program but lately when using the handy 2 it wont load stroke length properly. Gives a bunch of errors or just crashes the media player. Is the software still getting any sort of update in the future or is it abandoned?
Even comparing it to handy 1 stroke lengths it’s often much less in length and certainly does not work well with the speed settings in overclock mode. It will play them but not in a faithfull stroke representation.
Hey
Any news?
As far as I can see this, HandyControl, is now abandonware.
I get the same errors for Handy2.
Have a look at ScriptPlayer instead (latest version v1.2.1).
And when I was searching for ScriptPlayer, I see someone has created something called ScriptPlayer+, so might be worth looking at that too.
Hello. I’ve been using the HandyControl app (version 1.2.3) together with The Handy (1) for quite a long time now, currently running firmware version 3.2.3+c1ddbc7e. Everything still works perfectly fine.
However, I recently noticed that the latest firmware for The Handy (1) is already version 4.2.1. Before updating, I wanted to ask:
Does HandyControl 1.2.3 still work properly with The Handy (1) when running firmware 4.2.1, or are there any known compatibility issues?

I’m leaving my setup with Handy 1 and Handy Control unchanged. After all, the saying goes, “Never change a running system”—and that definitely applies here.
… recently switched to The Handy 2 Pro. For it, I find the ScriptPlayer+ v0.5.0 program really good, because the setup is super easy and so is the operation.
