my_uuid=$(uuidgen) ?

[sebastienvg]

how do I get this my_uuid=$(uuidgen) ?

[sebastienvg]

when I try

./send_command.sh 192.168.77.8 AAAAAQAAAAEAAAAvAw== to turn off the TV I get

Command failed (HTTP_CODE: 500, try running it in a console)

Did the auth process work properly, like described in the blog post?

If not, run the commands from the script manually in verbose mode to figure out where it fails.

You can use https://www.uuidgenerator.net/ Do generate any uuid if you can't install a generator on your machine. The only goal for it is to be unique for your tv (I.e. Not yet used by any connected app)

You've nailed it. I got a uuid added to the file then ran the auth.sh again and all worked fine.

Thank you

I have tried to add a UUID using this method and looking at an incoming UDP packet from the tv. I get the same error on both occasions:

auth.sh: 16: auth.sh xxx-xxx-x--x-x---x-x--x: not found

sub any UUID i try for the xxx-xxx....

Any suggestions?

You need to write it like my_uuid=$(abcdef-bla-bla)

Thanks for the Reply B. WIthin the code, it is: my_uuid=$(97cb9b2e-7327-4333-a757-c5b19a9380a5)

Error is: auth.sh: 16: auth.sh: 97cb9b2e-7327-4333-a757-c5b19a9380a5: not found

I didn't have the single quotes. I added them and it worked. Thanks!!!

my_uuid='$(97cb9b2e-7327-4333-a757-c5b19a9380a5)'
