Ive recently just moved back to Virgin Media and have a (new??) TV 360 box.
I can see that @Bertbert has a component for Tivo boxes, but are these totally different to the TV 360
Anyone have any news on an integration for the TV 360
UPDATE: The Ziggonext integration on HACS has been updated to include support for Virgin Media. Many thanks to @sholofly for making this work for us here in the UK.
Note: Ensure you have enabled Network Remote Control on your Tivo box
I cant seem to find this setting in the TV V6 box?
Also, I have tried to download and use the VM TV Control App but get a message saying “No compatible Virgin TV Boxes were foun on this account”. Unsure if this uses the same protocol as a network remote would do?
That would be a definite “no”. The new TV360 boxes don’t run the Tivo software so won’t be controllable via the Tivo published telnet API. I don’t have one of these and can’t find any documentation on an interface that can be used to control it.
If someone comes up with a way of controlling it over the network, I can have a look at whether the component can be made compatible.
Looks like similar Liberty Global boxes in other regions do have a way of being controlled. But nothing for the UK version yet. Could be just that they are so new, nobody has got around to it yet rather than the UK ones being more locked down. Not something that I can investigate without having a box. It’s a very different beast with different capabilities so probably would be a ground-up rewrite. Or maybe just a change to one of the other implementations. E.g.
Hi Bert,
I think VM only started shipping these boxes in December? So hopefully something will follow.
Even at https://virgintvgo.virginmedia.com/en.html I only have the most basic info. It doesnt pick up the channels playing and the “remote” will only do up, down, left, right, okay, menu, on/off!
However, im unsure if the Ziggo_Mediabox_Next is an older version of the current version that @sholofly has written, and in the ZiggoNext i can not see where I would change the URLs to Virgin Medias addresses
Not really sure where I go from here as im no developer!
No further answer on this - I’ve had a look at the python code and the api, and not sure where the issue is.
Have changed my password on VM to a one using non-special characters to rule out any issues.
Still not working.
is this confirmed as working in IE?
