doesn't run on RPI

[wadoadi]

I'm trying to run the script (Master branch) on my PI running jessie

Using python samsung-smart-tv-remote.py I get an error due the name in the PY for configparser being that used for python 3 renaming configparser on line 3 and 5 to ConfigParser and adding the () for the prints moves this on to other errors.

python3 samsung-smart-tv-remote.py gives multiple syntax errors e.g. print function needing (), getitem not supported ...

Is this script for a PI!?

Can you try with Python 2?

[wadoadi]

With Python 2.7.9 and no changes to the script i get: Traceback (most recent call last): File "samsung-smart-tv-remote.py", line 3, in import configparser, pika, json, time, samsungctl ImportError: No module named configparser

[wadoadi]

Then changing the configparser to ConfigParser as it appears to be using Python 3 naming "The ConfigParser module has been renamed to configparser in Python 3" but still running under Python 2.x i next get:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "samsung-smart-tv-remote.py", line 8, in params = pika.URLParameters(config['CloudAMQP']['url']) AttributeError: ConfigParser instance has no attribute 'getitem'

[StancuFlorin]

I guess something changed in the configparser library. I will try with a fresh setup and I would let you know.

cool THANK YOU

Almost Working! So here is what I have done so far and the error now seems to be in the JSon Payload! Current error
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'

Actions thus far:

Install pika and samsungctl for Python 3 with pip3 Install pip3 install pika Install pip3 install samsungctl

Edit samsung-smart-tv-remote.py adding () to each print line

Run the python script using python3 python3 samsung-smart-tv-remote.py

Error on Pi when message is read:
