U4 APIs
U4 APIs
Hi,
Just checking if anyone knows whether there are APIs exposed by the U4 that I could hook into from my own apps?
Long story short - the pause button on my remote must have some dust underneath it or something and has become very stubborn. I'm a bit ham fisted and don't want to try opening the remote to clean under the buttons (I'd only break it). I don't like using the Beyonwiz phone app as a remote because the phone time outs make it painful for regular use.
I have my own Windows app that lets me pause the U4 by sending mouse clicks to a browser tab that has an expanded remote widget showing and ideally I'd like to further develop something that talks to the U4 directly rather manipulating a browser tab. My dream is to incorporate voice recognition to have a fully voice controlled remote app if I can find a voice component.
First things first though and I'll be happy for now if there are APIs I can use to send commands to the box. Anyone know the lay of the land on that front?
Regards
Steve

Re: U4 APIs
Do you mean something like the Web API that Open Webif uses? That's documented here: https://dream.reichholf.net/e2web/

Re: U4 APIs
Yes, it's the OpenWebif API I was talking about.
It looks like /web/remotecontrol?command=&type=&rcu= is what I need. I just need to find a list of button codes e.g. 352 means the "OK" button on RCU.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Re: U4 APIs
This may help: https://bitbucket.org/beyonwiz/easy-ui- ... /keyids.py
In particular, "KEY_PLAYPAUSE": 164.
No problem.
