3 new branches

[kdschlosser]

I created 3 new branches

please read the instruction for each branch, I have updated the instructions on use of each of those items as well as code examples.

for controlling applications https://github.com/kdschlosser/samsungctl/tree/add_application

mouse movements https://github.com/kdschlosser/samsungctl/tree/adds_mouse_movements

voice recognition https://github.com/kdschlosser/samsungctl/tree/adds_voice_buttons

[dcorsus]

@kdschlosser Awesome job Kevin!

[kdschlosser]

does that mean that they work? LOL

[kdschlosser]

No one wants to chime in here and let me know if these changes work?

[mike9011]

Does this suppose to work on a Q8FN (2018) model? If yes I can test this in a couple of days.

[kdschlosser]

it should work.

[jnimmo]

I'll test it out as soon as I'm back from holiday, thanks very much for your work on this! Has anyone tested with Home Assistant - and if so does it work with 0.84.6, or should I stick with the 0.80.3 version I've been using to date?

[DJPsycho82]

I had a busy time around christmas and new year (so happy new year to you all!).

I want to test some of these branches but i'm still having connection failures... (Q7F (2017) model)... Sorry being this late, but it didn't have more time...

Maybe i'm doing something wrong or my model is still different from the others?

This is what i see when i test the 0.8.0 version, the error appears after pressing accept on my remote:

volumio@volumio:/mnt/INTERNAL/samsungctl$ sudo samsungctl -i --host 192.168.0.161 --port 8002 --method websocket --timeout 10 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/samsungctl", line 9, in load_entry_point('samsungctl==0.8.0b', 'console_scripts', 'samsungctl')() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samsungctl-0.8.0b-py2.7.egg/samsungctl/main.py", line 181, in main with Remote(config) as remote: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samsungctl-0.8.0b-py2.7.egg/samsungctl/remote.py", line 13, in init self.remote = RemoteWebsocket(config) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samsungctl-0.8.0b-py2.7.egg/samsungctl/remote_websocket.py", line 50, in init self.open() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samsungctl-0.8.0b-py2.7.egg/samsungctl/remote_websocket.py", line 117, in open raise RuntimeError('Connection Failure') RuntimeError: Connection Failure

[kdschlosser]

no there is an issue with the the current version of the websocket library. I am going to have have to specify an older version of the websocket-client library. there are to many bugs and problems in the newer versions.

i really dislike doing that because if another library is installed that requires a newer version there is going to be problems somewhere.

[DJPsycho82]

I understand, i wouldn't do that also. Is it fixable?

I read some people use samsungctl without problems, think that's not with the websocket method then? 2016+ TVs use the websocket secure, right?

Anything i can do to help?

[kdschlosser]

the firmware on the TV is what dictates what type of websocket connection is used. not the year. the year does play into it because the newer the TV the chances of it having a newer firmware preinstalled is higher.

the SSL websocket (secure) works just fine. the people that are running into problems with this library and people that are installing it. if they already has the old version of the library installed before the author of the websocket-client made the updates they did then they will be running an older version of the websocket library.

ok so this is what you need to do to get it working.

pip install -uninstall websocket-client

this is going to uninstall the websocket-client library

then run

pip install websocket-client==0.48.0

this will install a version of the websocket-client library before there were changes made to it that caused problems.

give that a shot and see if it works. do this after you run the setup.py file. and if you want to change the version of samsungctl you are using then you will clone (download) the branch as a zip file. open the zip file and extract the samsungctl folder into the \libs\site-packages folder of your python installation. overwrite any files it prompts you to. this will bypass having to use the installer for samsungctl. so it will always use the working version of the websocket-client library you installed

[DJPsycho82]

Looks like i did something wrong because now i get the error :

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: websocket-client>=0.54.0

But I get no notification to accept the connection on my television. I succesfully removed the websocket-client and installed version 0.48.0 as you said:

volumio@volumio:~$ sudo pip install websocket-client==0.48.0 --upgrade Requirement already up-to-date: websocket-client==0.48.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

I made a mistake at first to deinstall websocket via sudo apt purge websocket... didn't read you post to well (i'm having the flu at the moment, could be it haha).

Think there is something wrong with websocket at the moment, but i'm not sure where to search for it but i'm trying :)

[DJPsycho82]

(i installed python websocket succesfully again with sudo apt install)

This is what i get when i run the uninstall command: sudo pip uninstall websocket-client Not uninstalling websocket-client at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, owned by OS

I think that's where the fault is...

[dseifert]

I am running into the same issues with the "Connection Failure" (remote_websocket.py, line 118).

pip install websocket-client==0.48.0

I am on Ubuntu 18.04, I made sure that websocket-client is not installed as a deb and installed it via pip. The same error happened when I run "python -m samsungctl --host 192.168.42.40 --method websocket --port 8002 KEY_POWEROFF" (also for pip3/python3). I do get asked by the TV whether I want to allow the access, but that's it.

P.S: https://github.com/eclair4151/samsungctl/tree/websocketssl is working for me.

[jnimmo]

@DJPsycho82 if you edit setup.py in samsungctl folder prior to running python install setup.py it should fix to either remove the websocket-client version requirement (54) or change it to ==0.48.0 (perhaps could update this in your fork @kdschlosser?)

I've just tried this but unfortunately away from the TV for a few days so I can't test whether it has fixed the Connection Failure issue.

[DJPsycho82]

Whoohoo! got it to work with interactive mode! not sure where the problem was but i think trying to install websocket again worked for some reason (using the websocketssl version):

sudo pip install websocket-client==0.48.0 Downloading/unpacking websocket-client==0.48.0 Downloading websocket_client-0.48.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl (198kB): 198kB downloaded Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): six in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from websocket-client==0.48.0) Installing collected packages: websocket-client Found existing installation: websocket-client 0.18.0 Not uninstalling websocket-client at /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages, owned by OS Successfully installed websocket-client

After that: [sudo samsungctl -i --host 192.168.0.161 --method websocket --port 8002] just worked! Opening the smarthub doesn't work, but when i'm in the hub, i can navigate. Now trying to figure out how to read the input source.

@kdschlosser should i still test these branches for you? Not sure if i can run these seperately from the websocketssl version?

[DJPsycho82]

Is it possible to get a readout from the TV? For example on what source the TV is set? (e.g. HDMI1 / HDMI2 / NETFLIX / YOUTUBE / etc.?) I'm not sure how to do it via samsungctl.

[kdschlosser]

@DJPsycho82

if you download each of the branches and rename the samsungctl folder and place it into your site-packages folder you can have each of the version installed at the same time. you have to do the file work manually.

so extract the samsungctl folder to a temporary directory. rename it to whatever it is you want.

you will not be able o use the command line utility unless you directly run the main.py file.

an example would be

python __main__.py -i --host 192.168.0.161 --method websocket --port 8002

I have not extended the interactive mode at all. so this is not going to help you in testing the branches I have up.

the only way to test the branches is to do it via code. there are example code blocks in each of the branches readme files.

you have to remember to import the samsungctl version as what you renamed the folder to. so if you named one of the folders samsungctl2 then you would do the import like so.

import samsungctl2 as samsungctl

as far as the sources go. we do not have a way of getting this information as of yet. not unless you have a 1st generation TV. like what I have. I am able to get the playing content metadata, sources, change the source labels. get the tv channels. set the TV channel. basically the whole enchilada. Samsung has removed all of these features form the newer generations. I am sure they probably still exist but it does it through the websocket interface. The crappy thing is that not even Samsung's own applications use any of these features. so it's not like we can even wireshark the connection to reverse engineer it. I am almost positive that there is more to the websocket end of things.

I need to start poking about to see if I can locate a Samsung developer I do know a guy that works for MIOS (MiCasaVerde) and that company is a Samsung Partner. I might be able to finagle some information out of him. we will see.

[DJPsycho82]

I'm certain Samsungs smart things app (I have it installed, android) reads out information from my TV. When I start the app, the app sees what kind of input the tv is on. That's the only thing it reads out, but it's something. I'm sure it could do more. I'm going to test the branches you posted. I think I will manage to install the 3 versions at once and test the branches but it could take me a little while.

[DJPsycho82]

hmm i'm struggling a bit. I copied the 3 branches to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ (my samsungctl with websockssl isn't on that location).

I tried the samsungctl-application branch and it fails to execute. I did not have to change the import to how i renamed the folder. If I do that, the code fails:

python youtube.py File "youtube.py", line 1 import samsungctl-ap ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

But when i use the code as described in the readme files i get this when i try to start youtube app:

python youtube.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "youtube.py", line 14, in app = remote.get_application('YouTube') AttributeError: RemoteWebsocket instance has no attribute 'get_application'

when i run the code to access the applications, i get: python test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 14, in for app in remote.applications: File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/samsungctl-ap/samsungctl/remote_websocket.py", line 218, in applications if app_1['appId'] == app_2['appId']: TypeError: string indices must be integers

Hope this helps you :)

[DJPsycho82]

I think i found something interesting! I scanned the traffic on my phone when i connected with the smart things app to the tv and found a new port. maybe you already knew this, but when i connect to http://[tv ip]:9197/dmr I get some information about my tv in XML file. Running Tizen, model name, number serial, etc. (I found out, it's from the allshare upnp protocol from samsung)

I'm not good with XML nor wireshark, but maybe i'm finding some usefull information. Edit for pasting the information:

http://192.168.0.161:7676/rcr/MultiScreenService.xml http://192.168.0.161:9197/upnp/control/ConnectionManager1 http://192.168.0.161:9119/screen_sharing http://192.168.0.161:7678/nservice/dial.xml http://192.168.0.161:9197/dmr http://192.168.0.161:7676/rcr/ http://192.168.0.161:9197/StreamSplicing_1.xml http://192.168.0.161:9197/ConnectionManager_1.xml http://192.168.0.161:9197/AVTransport_1.xml http://192.168.0.161:9197/RenderingControl_1.xml http://192.168.0.161:7678/nservice/

All these adresses give me an XML page back. Some of the pages give me an: s:Client

UPnPError

back, but it's a nice XML page.

I still have the .pcap file. Maybe someone will help finding out how to read information from the Samsung with Tizen firmware.

[dcorsus]

@DJPsycho82 These are all UPNP ports for individual services. It is what Kevin was referring to that in the old days, the UPNP services could be used to dynamically update state but recently all these services are deprecated. In your case what still works properly is the "player" services (avtransport, renderingcontrol) allowing an external UPNP/DLNA controller to play music, video, pictures on your TV. The other services such as nservice, multiscreen etc are mostly used for discovery purposes, where an app "finds" your TV and then uses proprietary peer-2-peer comm to do things on your TV, like cast Netflix to your TV etc.

[DJPsycho82]

Ok, thnx. So it isn't very useful in this case. That's a bummer.

[dcorsus]

@DJPsycho82 Any info is useful, on occasion we (I) discover something that is actually new to some model and opens up new opportunities. Still hoping to stumble on a log here or there that might give us insight on how we can use the websockets to get dynamic state ....

[DJPsycho82]

I hope so. Thx for your reaction. Think we will manage it! When I find something I will post it 😊. But I'm not the best on this work field. Hopefully Kevin will get some information from this Samsung developer guy😊

[dcorsus]

" But Hopefully Kevin will get some information from this Samsung developer guy😊"

I hope so to. I had emailed Samsung (source code) team to point me to some specific file names we learned off in one of the debug postings to be told: "that why we post the source so YOU can find it" ... quite useless.

Cheers,

Dirk

[ASoTNetworks]

I am having the same issue as this even after I ran pip install websocket-client==0.48.0.

I noticed ~/.samsungctl/token.txt is empty is this suppose to have the token?

[iAbadia]

I am having the same issue as this even after I ran pip install websocket-client==0.48.0.

I noticed ~/.samsungctl/token.txt is empty is this suppose to have the token?

setup.py has a requirement for websocket-client 0.54.0. You'll need to uninstall websocket-client, install 0.48.0 and also edit setup.py to require that version instead of 0.54.0.

Spoiler alert: I've tried this and I still get the request on TV + Connection Failure on the cmd.

BTW @kdschlosser a thousand thanks for working on this while Ape is afk 🙏🙏

[kdschlosser]

@dcorsus I stumbled across an e-mail address for the smartview application. It was for the sole purpose of requesting the source code to the application. According to Samsung the smartview application is opensource. But the source code is not publicly accessible. You have to specifically request it and they will send it to you (for some crazy reason i do not see it happening). I do not remember where i saw that e-mail address. I wonder if it is in the smartview application.

HA! it is in the application...

Open Source Announcement To send inquiries and requests for questions regarding open sources, contact Samsung via Email (oss.request@samsung.com). Mozilla Public License, version 2.0

maybe someone wants to send an e-mail requesting the latest source code to smart view. This will be of great help we can take a look and see what the thing is actually doing.

[kdschlosser]

May as well ask for the source code to the Samsung Tizen OS, the whole thing not the crap they have online.

[kdschlosser]

OK i am going to fix the issue with the websockets right now. It is going to be a a crappy hack. because I do not want to modify a currently installed version. But what I will do is I will check to see if the websocket-client is installed. and check the version of it. if it is a newer version then 0.48 I will ten prompt if the user wants me to downgrade it. I do not want to screw up someone elses module that may depend on a newer version of the websocket-client library. this way the user will know that the thing has been downgraded.

I am also going to combine those 3 branches into a single branch. and I will key up some code to run tests against it.

[kdschlosser]

ok so here is the new branch.

https://github.com/kdschlosser/samsungctl/tree/combination_branch

it has the code for the mouse, the voice control and also the applications all into a single branch. I have also updated the setup routine to handle the websocket-client library issues.

so just run

python setup.py install

if you have the wrong version of the websocket-client library installed don't worry about it. this is going to check and if it is the wrong version it will prompt you if you want to download.

NIX users. you will probably have to sudo the installation

[dcorsus]

@kdschlosser Hey Kevin, off the charts work here!!!! Just in case you wanted to add text entry support as well, the cmd string would be: {""method"":""ms.remote.control"",""params"":{""Cmd"":""" & ToBase64(xxtheTextxxx) & """,""TypeOfRemote"":""SendInputString"",""DataOfCmd"":""base64""}}

On a different topic, Tizen studio just delivered their version 5.0 TV emulator. It now seems to support the "TokenAuthSupport" but they may have forgotten to active the SSL port 8002 URGGHHH I was hoping that the new emulator version would allow us to dig deeper into how events work but no joy so far. I have to admit that I haven't seen any reference that this would only work on Intel and not AMD, you can turn off thinks like VT or GPU support. Either way, if you have questions and want to try one more time to install the emulator (v4!!), if you can get it to work, you would be able to test most of your code (websockets) by yourself. Cheers and again, thanks for your hard work!! Dirk

[kdschlosser]

their emulator is crap. it does not work on AMD processors (which is what I have (i'm cheap LOL) So i can't use it to run tests on. even tho it appears it wouldn't work anyway.

[kdschlosser]

there was a new merge to the combination branch. there are some fixes that @iAbadia did up that have been added to it. I want to have this library support python 2. the merge includes fixes for python 2 compatibility as well. I believe I have already gone over the code and made everything else python 2 compatible already. if someone happens across something that is not right lemme know or submit a PR for the fix.

[kdschlosser]

I am tired of my code having bugs. So at the moment I am writing a test suite for the library. and I am going to add Appveyor to test everything out. I do not see a need to add TravisCI to run tests because there is nothing in the code that is OS specific save for the saving of the token file. which is such a tiny amount of code I am not concerned about it. I am more familiar with setting up the Appveyor build process so I can do that faster.

So after I finish up adding the testing i will not accept any PR that extend the functionality unless tests have been added for that functionality. I want the author of the PR to do it because they have already done the legwork and know what the expected responses from a TV should be. this is needed to do 2 things to check the message that is sent. and to build a return message (if needed) and to test that the code that processes any returned messages is correct. this is going to take me a while to write it is a very large addition but I feel it is one that is needed due to how complex this library is getting and is going to get in the future.

[jnimmo]

Would it be worth removing the code for the legacy models - as that works fine in the current samsungctl, and calling this something else, only focusing on supporting the new firmware websockets with this version? I suppose not removing legacy stuff means there is a chance it could be pulled back into the main samsungctl branch. I certainly will only be using it for controlling ssl websockets on 8002

[kdschlosser]

there isn't any issues with the legacy code. it works just fine. I have bad arthritis in my hands. quite often I am pressing keys I do not mean to.

[arsaboo]

@kdschlosser Since there is no PyPi package, is it possible to specify the github package URL to test it out in Home Assistant. Something like this?

REQUIREMENTS = [
    'https://github.com/kdschlosser/samsungctl/archive/0.7.1.zip'
]

[kdschlosser]

the only thing that needs to be done to use this in Home Assistant. is you neeed to install home assistant. then edit the requirements file locate samsungctl and change the version to 0.8.0b

after you have done that clone this repository. then run

python setup.py install

after it installs then you can install the samsung TV support into home assistant the usual way you would

what home assistant does i it checks to see if the library is already installed and that it meets the version that is required by home assistant. because you changed the version required by home assistant and manually installed samsungctl, home assistant will use what is already there.

[kdschlosser]

@dcorsus

I do know about the text entry command. I have not gotten to that as of yet.

I still have not been informed if updates work or not. I think people are still having problems with the websocket-client problems.

I did create a branch that has combined all 3 of the updates i did. along with fixing the websiocket-client problems. it is located here

https://github.com/kdschlosser/samsungctl/tree/combination_branch

@kdschlosser So, I ran the combination_branch using the approach listed here. The component works and I am able to see the status of the TV ( I have a 75-inch NU8000 TV). However, when I try to toggle the state (power on/off), I get the error:

@arsaboo

I have to add how to handle thee power shutting off on the TV's still. I have to think about how I am going to do that. what is taking place is when you shut the power off to the TV it turns off the network adapters in the TV as well. so the connection gets cut. I have to think of a good mechanism that will automatically reconnect the TV.

The other thing is that I have not instituted a WOL feature into the library as of yet. so you are not going to be able to power the TV on via thee remote. I think there are 2 different ways to power the TV on. I have to dig into that bit of it.

I am able to see the status of the TV

define "status" what exactly are you getting back from thee TV?

[kdschlosser]

@dcorsus great that is fantastic. because that is thee license they have for the whole smartview application.

you can send them this image along with thee copy of the license disclosure just below it. and state that according to the license you have in the smartview application I should be allowed a copy of the source code. Would you please comply and send me the source code.

You can also chop this head right off before they try and stuck it out there, Inform them that the license included in the smartview application is broken into 3 sections.

2.2. Effective Date
The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first distributes such Contribution.

2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License. Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a Contributor: for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software; or for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party’s modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor Version); or under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of its Contributions.
This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks, or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with the notice requirements in Section .

2.4. Subsequent Licenses
No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).

2.5. Representation
Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.

2.6. Fair Use
This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other equivalents.

2.7. Conditions
Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted in Section 2.1.

3. Responsibilities
3.1. Distribution of Source Form
All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not attempt to alter or restrict the recipients’ rights in the Source Code Form.

3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then: such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter the recipients’ rights in the Source Code Form under this License.

3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice, provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary License(s).

3.4. Notices
You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty, or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.

3.5. Application of Additional Terms
You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any jurisdiction.

4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.

5. Termination
5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after Your receipt of the notice.

5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions, counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section 2.1 of this License shall terminate.

5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License prior to termination shall survive termination.

6. Disclaimer of Warranty
Covered Software is provided under this License on an “as is” basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Covered Software is with You. Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing, repair, or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an essential part of this License. No use of any Covered Software is authorized under this License except under this disclaimer.

7. Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered Software as permitted above, be liable to You for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party shall have been informed of the possibility of such damages. This limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from such party’s negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not apply to You.

8. Litigation
Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions. Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party’s ability to bring cross-claims or counter-claims.

9. Miscellaneous
This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.

10. Versions of the License
10.1. New Versions
Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section 10.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify or publish new versions of this License. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.

10.2. Effect of New Versions
You may distribute the Covered Software under the terms of the version of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software, or under the terms of any subsequent version published by the license steward.

10.3. Modified Versions
If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to create a new license for such software, you may create and use a modified version of this License if you rename the license and remove any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that such modified license differs from this License).

10.4. Distributing Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary Licenses

@kdschlosser I am able to see whether the TV is on/off. That is being correctly reported.

[kdschlosser]

If they still will not give up the source code I will file a complaint with Mozilla about fraudulent use of their License. An OOOHHH boy trust you me. Mozilla is all gung ho about opensource and some heads will roll over this.

[jnimmo]

@arsaboo

I have to add how to handle thee power shutting off on the TV's still. I have to think about how I am going to do that. what is taking place is when you shut the power off to the TV it turns off the network adapters in the TV as well. so the connection gets cut. I have to think of a good mechanism that will automatically reconnect the TV.

The other thing is that I have not instituted a WOL feature into the library as of yet. so you are not going to be able to power the TV on via thee remote. I think there are 2 different ways to power the TV on. I have to dig into that bit of it.

I am able to see the status of the TV

define "status" what exactly are you getting back from thee TV?

Ohhh so the KEY_POWEROFF won't work at the moment? I would've just expected power off would close the connection with the TV and samsungctl not need to deal with reconnecting? Then Home Assistant deals with the WOL side of it to turn back on

[arsaboo]

Yes, I tried turning the TV off and it gave me the error.

I am going to test some more, but looks like I am able to turn the TV on using the component.

[keatontaylor]

My experience with an NU8000 65" is the same as @arsaboo. Nothing seems to work except state reporting on/off.
