[How-To] Remote Control Signal Over Lan?

[moras86]

Here you go new download.

This remind me I need finish and test next version

[nuts]

Mhm I was looking for the sourcecode to understand the magic behind SOAP/Upnp mode.
Imho closesource autoit-scripts makes no sense, but its your choice of course (I will not decompile it).

Anyway - thanks for your work and for the new downloadlink!

[moras86]

Don't know what your mean with close source. I include my app source.
Look inside archive - src.zip -> RLC_v07.au3
You can find SOAP functions from line 1994.

I also describe how it work couple pages back.

[nuts]

Oh sorry - my fault. (did not notice src.zip)

It is possible to sent Factory and 3Speed commands described in this thread (viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3104) with Remote LAN Control with the option Options->Configuration->Keycode test? Is possible to release a version with this implemented in two buttons? I think that is very interesting for Samsung TV users if it is possible.

Thanks!

No Keycode test is only for A-series and B-series TV.

I plan implement full support for D-series when I figure out how it works.

[smalis]

Would it be possible to control a D or E series with IRule, by connecting through a network gateway, specifying IP address and port number?

[and7ey]

is there any way to switch TV on via LAN?

Just in case somebody needs it - the python code below allows you to open the videofile from NFS share in B-series mediaplayer from your PC (I use Total Commander, Start menu - file to be opened to be passed as first parameter, like tv_show_movie.py \\your-server\video\The file name of your movie.mkv):
