Is-it possible to add left, right, up, down and select buttons?
Very nice tool, it's working well. So as to set my channel, I need to use arrows such as left, right, up, down and click (ok) on my remote. Is it possible to add these buttons in this CLI tool?
I can do it my self, but I can't find some documentation about what is the command to send to the TV. Is there a doc somewhere? Would it be feasible?
Thanks
https://mym.hackpad.com/ep/pad/static/rLlshKkzdNj has some details about this, you need to start up another connection for the mouse by the looks of things, no idea why the up/down/left/right buttons are in the mouse control, but this isn't something I've implemented... The protocol details there would be enough to get started, and the C# implementation someone has done here would obviously help https://github.com/gr4b4z/lgtv.net/blob/master/LgTvApi.cs
Ok, thanks, I started a proof of concept, it needs a second socket. I will make a PR
Just to add an idea, I realized the Magic Remote is able to call the voice function on supported TV's, would it be possible to register a faux Magic Remote and get that feature enabled? This way it might be possible to trigger a keyword with Alexa, and be able to talk directly with the TV.
(This is probably a wrong thread for this comment.)
@klattimer Thank you so much for your library! I was using it for a while, but because it didn't play well with my personal project, I had to rewrite my own version. Also, the hackpad link that you posted is going to be extremely helpful and much easier than reading the ConnectSDK source!
Link to the repo: https://github.com/supersaiyanmode/PyWebOSTV
I'd like to credit your work in my version. Please let me know how would you like to be credited.
@klattimer Sorry, I'm away from home for a few months now. I haven't made any progress, but it's still on my todo list.
I tried to access the document in hackpad you mentioned, but I can't access it anymore with this dropbox portal. Any luck from your side?
@Gustry I, too, am trying to access that link. If you find that somewhere can you please link it here. It would be a great help!
In the meanwhile, you may want to take a look at my version, that if mouse connectivity is what you're looking for.
Still no luck :(
@supersaiyanmode I tried your library! It works perfectly! Thanks.
@Gustry have you made any progress since last year? Is this possible to do now?
