UN65KS850 - UnhandledResponse ms.channel.timeOut

[ingenium13]

I have a UN65KS850 (2016 curved model) that appears to use websockets. When I try to use this tool, it throws:

python -m samsungctl --host <IPADDRESS> --method websocket KEY_POWER
  File "samsungctl/remote.py", line 10, in __init__
    self.remote = RemoteWebsocket(config)
  File "samsungctl/remote_websocket.py", line 25, in __init__
    self._read_response()
  File "samsungctl/remote_websocket.py", line 67, in _read_response
    raise exceptions.UnhandledResponse(response)
samsungctl.exceptions.UnhandledResponse: {u'event': u'ms.channel.timeOut'}

I've tried specifying other flags such as ID and changing the keycode, but it makes no difference. I also don't receive a request on my TV asking about allowing access (as others have implied may happen).

Output of wireshark:

Edited by @Ape:
I hijacked this issue to collect all instances where some random TV model does not work, but we don't know what is the cause or how it could be fixed.

Isn't the problem that the code isn't handeling ms.channel.timeOut, and throwing a traceback for it?

@cnf Well, handling this ms.channel.timeOut wouldn't by itself enable any functionality on this TV model.

@ingenium13 hmm the K series Tvs should be supported. If you get the app MyTifi from the iOS app store or This for android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=wifi.control.samsung&hl=en

try to use them. When you connect does it ask you to enter a PIN or is there just a button that says allow
