Swittching sources is know to be mostly not possible on philips tvs. So this looks like one model were should remove the option.

If you are reverse engineering inclined. It may be possible to extract the xtv apk from the TV and decompile it. Maybe you can find a way to support changing channels on this model.

Thanks for your reply. Actually the Input switching isn’t as huge of a problem as the screen state which doesn’t seem to be working either. Is there any way to get that working? I frequently turn off the display (but not the actual tv) so being able to automate that and not reach for the remote each time would be amazing.

[elupus]

The TV does not seem to report any screenstate. So it likely wont work on that tv. Not sure you have latest firmware, so might be worth updating if possible.

[zucram]

Ah that’s a shame. Tried updating firmware but the TV is reporting that there’s no new version.

You could have a look here: https://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/cpindex.pl?ctn=49PUT6401/12&hlt=Link_Software&mid=Link_Software&scy=DE&slg=DEU

I dont think you are running the firmware from 2021, but i could be wrong.

[zucram]

I verified it, i am running the latest firmware. So i guess i'm out of luck =(
