Any way to get Program Info from Apps Youtube / Emby / Netflix`?

91JJ · June 19, 2021, 3:18pm

I might be able to help as the initial curl command didn’t work for me…

Replace [YOUR IP] and let me know if they work…

This is the curl command I used to retrieve the list

curl http://[YOUR IP]/sony/appControl -X POST -H "X-Auth-PSK: 1122" -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d "{     \"method\": \"getApplicationList\",     \"id\": 60,     \"params\": [],     \"version\": \"1.0\" }"

These are what pulled from my Bravia TV

vanadiumjade · June 27, 2021, 2:15am

is there a way where you can force tv to open specific content.
Eg youtube video or google moves movie

Basicly I want to be able to turn kids tv on to a specific move without having to browse content and pressing play.

91JJ · June 29, 2021, 4:54pm

I haven’t seen anything regarding this but I suppose it’s possible if you know the usual commands from here and the URIs from above?

You could create an automation based on the usual inputs to search a program and start it? Might be a long automation to call each up, down, left, right, return etc.

vanadiumjade · June 29, 2021, 5:38pm

Don’t want to create a push button automation.

Was hoping you could trigger Chromecast or ideally native app if you pass the right details to play the content you want.

Have played a bit with YouTube and Google movies but can t get anything to play predefined content.

Haven’t tried Chromecast. So might give that a crack.

paddy0174 · June 29, 2021, 7:05pm

I’m not sure, but the TV is an adroid based mediaplayer, isn’t it? Therefor the usual commands for media players should work as well.

You might want to take a look in these two links:

Hi just looking at your post where do you use these curl commands ?
Are you using them within a automation ?
Thanks

91JJ · July 12, 2021, 1:52pm

Hey…

I used the Curl command on Windows CMD specifically to retrieve the URI’s so I could build a custom media player card which I did using Kalkih’s Mini Media Player.

Another reason I wanted the Curl was to generate a Sensor/List with all the URI’s. But couldn’t get that working… My thread is here if your interested.

Hope this helps

Steveuk · July 12, 2021, 3:05pm

Looks good that.
I’ve no use for a remote yet as I tend to use the apps built into my Sky Q box (TV service).
But I thought it may be good to possibly have a button in ha that swaps picture modes over.

d_mmarques · September 2, 2021, 4:08am

Hi Guys, I am new here, and I have been trying a long time to create my Sony TV Bravia control at HA. I need your help…

I ve installed HACS and Bravia TV PSK
I ve connected the TV and HA, It iss working (created de TV on CONFIGURATIO.YAML)
media_player:
- platform: braviatv_psk
host: 192.168.20.20
psk: sony
mac: CC:98:8B:0E:47:D1
amp: True
android: True
time_format: 12H
user_labels: True
name: MyBraviaTVnew

It is working

After that I ve edited services.yaml (inside the braviatv_psk) and created a service:

channelUp:
name: ChannelUp
description: Canal_UP
fields:
entity_id: media_player.mybraviatvnew
command_id: ChannelUp

No error

When I created a button and brought the call service, I don t know how to get the command_id.
Lock de error:

type: button
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: braviatv_psk.bravia_command
service_data: {}
target: {}
entity: media_player.mybraviatvnew

Thank you

Networx666 · October 29, 2021, 7:05pm

Hey guys.

Can someone pls explain me how to change my source list to only show tv:dvbs? In which file do I have to put this??
I just can’t find it…

Thank you

stefancvetkovic · December 12, 2021, 12:16am

I was wondering if there any api for bravia, to show which is currently application is running?

stefancvetkovic · December 12, 2021, 10:16am

and how can I send Num270? I mean, I want to turn on channel for example 270, but it only works with Num from 1-9

RogTP · January 8, 2022, 11:40am

API is documented here - Introduction | BRAVIA Professional Displays Knowledge Center

RogTP · January 8, 2022, 11:55am

No need to create a new service, and you shouldn’t really be modifying the services.yaml that comes with the integration. The standard HASS media player support I think two ways of doing channel up/down for this integration.

Use media_player.next_track service (or previous_track) which I can see the integration does a channel up/down for.
Use media_player.play_media (not media_play - that is play/pause) with a media_id of “ChannelUp” or “ChannelDown”. This method can also be used to send pretty much any button from the remote.

Also it looks like there is also a bravia_psk.bravia_command service which takes command_id the same as for play_media.

These are detailed here - GitHub - custom-components/media_player.braviatv_psk: Sony Bravia TV (Pre-Shared Key) component for Home Assistant

You can also trial them in the Developer Tools/Services dialogue on HASS.

RogTP · January 8, 2022, 11:56am

Just send Num2, Num7, Num0 in quick succession. Same as you would do on your remote.

I haven’t tried it but I imagine you would use tv:dvbs instead of the HDMI 1 I have in the example below.

- platform: braviatv_psk
  host: !secret tv_host
  psk: !secret tv_psk
  mac: !secret tv_mac
  amp: False
  android: True
  user_labels: True
  sourcefilter:
    - 'HDMI 1'
    - 'HDMI 3'
  name: SFTV

supertabouret · January 19, 2022, 9:36am

Like @RogTP
I am all set up but also i would like to create a button Netflix on the dashboard, that would start Netflix.
I found this script, i am not sure what to do with it.

RogTP · January 19, 2022, 2:55pm

You’d add a button to Lovelace that calls the script (after you have put the script in you config).

supertabouret · January 19, 2022, 5:37pm

did not work

RogTP · January 19, 2022, 6:25pm

In what way did it not work? Did it not start Netflix? Or did the script error? Were there any errors in the logs?

Bear in my I never used this, you just asked what you should do with the script to trigger it from the UI, so I pointed you at how to use a button to trigger a script. I have no idea if the script you have actually works.
