Develop branch not working for MU80009

[Lyr3x]

After upgraded my fw to 1262 i checked out you modification because the genuine samsungctl does not work anymore. The only branch which is working for my MU8009 is the new_websocket_client branch When using the develop branch i am getting

python -m samsungctl --version
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 163, in _run_module_as_main
    mod_name, _Error)

    MEDIA_FORWARD = cec.CEC_PLAY_MODE_PLAY_FORWARD
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'CEC_PLAY_MODE_PLAY_FORWARD'

I checked out the master branch and removed all dependencies beforehand but this version is just ending in an infinite loop

what OS are you running on?

It appears as tho you have an old version of libcec installed. If you upgrade it then all should work properly. I will add some exception catching and version testing for the installed libcec version.

I am using a nearly fresh installed Debian stretch and installed libcec yesterday the first time.

[kdschlosser]

are you running on a raspberry Pi???

did you install libcec or did you compile it grabbing the latest source code from libcec's github repo? I am asking this because the CEC side of things is based off the of source code in the github repository

instructions are located here

https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/blob/master/docs/README.raspberrypi.md You may need to specify the master branch and not the release branch when you follow those instructions.

Also there are a boat load of changes specific to Debian that were made that are not in a release yet. I just checked libcec's repo. and there is also a lot of changes to thee portion of the code that compiles libcec for use with python. So I am going to guess that this is the reason why you are getting the error.

Now I can manually add all of the constants into the library. the problem is I do not know what else is affected by the changes that are made. so it could affect more then the constants.

I did not used the latest source from GitHub. I'll check that tomorrow and get back to you! thanks for the hint. And no I am running it on a x86 system

[kdschlosser]

and you have a Pulse Eight or similar CEC adapter?

[Lyr3x]

I am not using CEC at all. I was wondering if i just configure it without CEC but i didnt figured it out.

[kdschlosser]

if you do not have a CEC adapter then installing liibCEC is not going to do a thing for you. My suggestion would be to uninstall libcec and go from there. CEC is still very experimental. and I know that I do have a few issues that i need to sort out.

[Lyr3x]

Well i couldnt execute the script without libcec installed, even if i dont used cec. But sadly the TV is damaged somehow and i sent it back. So that can be closed.

[kdschlosser]

I am sorry for the TV being damaged. Hopefully you will get a refund for it. I am going to make a suggestion to purchase a different brand like Sony. which has a very open API and does not have the issues that SamsungTV's have,
