And worse, âbreaking changesâ is entirely missing. So thisâŠ
⊠seems like a pretty easy mistake to make for people who are assuming they can just consume this info through the forum posts.
It might be best to change the Discourse plugin to only post excerpts and clearly link to the original until whatever is causing that can be figured out.
From what I can see, the change here is to remove some broken (in the API, not anything that can be done from the HA side) functionality. Is there more to it than that?
in case you missed my question: How can I switch between applications using SamsungTV?
Changelog says this feature has been added but documentation lacks any details about it.
same way every media player does, through play media with media_content_id and media_content_type.
EDIT: Before you ask, youâre going to have to manually switch to these and look at the attributes to figure out what you need to set them as. Every media player is different in that regards.
Thanks for answer.
I was asking because every other SamsungTV integration I know requires manual configuration of list of possible applications. Devs were saying itâs not possible to collect app list from TV). Nice if itâs the opposite
Every media player works the same way. The only way you can change things are through the play media or the change source service calls. If those service calls donât accept your inputs, then itâs not possible. Iâm sure every TV is different, especially seeing that these can have different osâs and apps.
But itâs not about changing itself. The point is to change app in SamsungTV you have to know itâs ID (itâs fixed identifier given to each app).
While changelog says changing app is now available for SamsungTV, it doesnât say where to get those IDs from. And what is more important, where to store them to make them available to select (considering using GUI).
As I said other integrations require to list those app in the integration configuration.
But docs of the official integration donât mention how to work with that at all
Docs doesnât even mention changing apps.
I do. But I have no knowledge about core SamsungTV component implementation.
This is why this is me who is asking for details. Once those details will be provided, I can update docs.
