Any way to check whether authorization has been already performed? #24

Open lanzorg opened 2 years ago

I have checked your __main__.py file and there is no prior verification for authorization.

I wonder if it's because there's no reliable way to know if the authorization has occurred or not. If not, do you have a way to find out if there has been successful authorization?

There is no way to check if it has occurred as far as I know. Everything we know about these TVs has come from reverse engineering, so there may be a solution that hasn't been found yet!

Unfortunately everything that is related to multimedia has to be reverse engineered.

I guess there is no way to revoke an authorization?

HDMI CEC works pretty well if you're looking for multimedia controls that don't require reverse engineering.

I was only able to revoke an auth by factory resetting the entire TV.

Is it possible to send keystrokes to hisense tv with hdmi-cec?

It could be very interesting because it doesn't need internet connection. I had some weird bandwidth usage with hisense television.

I will give this solution a try!

I don't know about keystrokes, I just use it for power controls these days, then my home theater PC does the rest.
