Samsung IPSRV enhancements

Open lars18th opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

I suggest to improve the support of the IPSRV channel lists in Samsung TV devices. This list is handled by the "Samsung TV plus" service. And here some of my assumptions:

  • The list is "created" by the widget and updated time to time.
  • Channels are "repeated" because the list is concatenated with the antenna lists. Therefore if you have SAT and ARERIAL lists, then the channels will appear twice.
  • This list stores a lot of information of the channels: logo, URL, name, information, etc.

My suggestion is first add support to PRINT all the values stored in this list. I feel this will be easy to achieve.

The second suggestion is to add the option to modify some values. My use case is this: I want to replace one channel of my country with another one in another territory. I can reveice the stream because I know the URL. And I've checked it with the VLC client. So I only need to change the URL+name+logo.

I hope you want to support this.

Hi,

A simple description of some technical information of this IPSRV list:

  • The table "SRV_IP" has the "jsonMeta" row that has a blob (binary) data. This data is a 2-byte JSON file.
  • The JSON file has a structure with multiple entries, including: default_url and logo_url.

My idea is to "interchange" the values of one channel from a list from a different location. I'll comment about it in the future. At time, I hope the developers will want to "print" this JSON Metadata.
