Dummy inputs on webOSTV 2.0

[adrianopery]

Today on my app home the device TV was showing all the inputs on the inputs spinner are "Dummy". I had to rename manually, but would like to know if is possible to fix it.

It actually should not happen, maybe that was caused by some kind of bug by the TV? You would need to provide a homebridge debug log of such event so i can at least see what caused the issue in order find out the actual cause and to be able to prevent that. Do you maybe have the homebridge debug log when that happend?

I'm using Hoobs not homebridge. Follow my LOG. The issue is only on "TV Sala"

The log you provided looks perfectly fine, although this is not a debug log. And I do not need a start log, you need to provide me the log when the issue happens. Does the issue happens all the time or happened only once and never again?

[adrianopery]

Yes, all the time. On app home I can only see "dummy"

[merdok]

Try to delete the cache file. Should be under .homebridge/.webosTv/ or depending if you set a custom location then it is elsewhere. You can delete all files from there expect the keyFile. Then restart homebridge which should trigger a complete input fetch from the tv.

any update on this? mine started doing this last week. The plug-in is up-to-date and I have deleted the cache files and restarted Homebridge.

[merdok]

This is a bug with the home app, you need to force kill it and then reopen it, that should fix the issue.

[adrianopery]

the strange is that I have 2 tvs exactly same model, date purchase and etc.... One works fine, the other no.

[merdok]

This has nothing to do with the TV itself...

[miket0429]

This is a bug with the home app, you need to force kill it and then reopen it, that should fix the issue.

Force killing the Home app doesn't seem to fetch the correct input names. I just manually renamed the dummy inputs in the Home app settings (AV, HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3, HDMI4) and they seem to persist so we're good for now.

[adrianopery]

I noted that this starts to occurs after web os update a few months ago.

I also ended up with some "dummy" inputs in my LG LCD TV, so I can confirm the bug. I also noticed when I restarted the plugin after having cleared the cache for the other issue with duplicated entries, that for a 10+ seconds all the inputs were reported as "dummy" in HomeKit, until it completed the "refresh" of all inputs reading from TV. Maybe some timing issues when it fetches the inputs from the TV? Just a wild guess

[merdok]

It is a cache issue, it is recommended to force close (kill) the home app and reopen it. That should usually get rid of that issue
