PIN authenticate not working #109

Closed kispee closed 4 years ago

kispee commented 4 years ago

It is not working to me. My Sony Bravia TV shows the picture with PIN code, I am writing the PIN code in chrome (http://.... :8999) and it's nothing happens. I see the homebridge logs that: [2020-6-6 12:24:36] [BraviaPlatform] Need to authenticate with TV! [2020-6-6 12:24:36] [BraviaPlatform] Please enter the PIN that appears on your TV at http://i5-4460:11111 [2020-6-6 12:24:36] [BraviaPlatform] PIN entry web server listening

If I send the PIN again, the log refresh another same text. I try the homebridge a Windows 10 PC, all firewall rules off. I try another port (e.g: 11111), another browser (edge) I try the TV restart. (Sony KD-43XF596)

Please, what is the solution?

No idea, maybe chrome tries to load https instead of http?

Not working. But I installed a previous version (2.1.0), it accepts the PIN code. Interesting..

The only thing that changed there is that the plugin now writes the entered pin back to the browser instead of just closing the connection. Did you try another browser?

I tried explorer, but it is not working . I installed every version until 2.1.8 version, all of them are working.

What do you mean by "working"? Do you mean you can enter a new PIN with those? Because the versions before 2.1.9 were always using the same uuid for the same name. Meaning if you named your TV the same then the plugin was "known" by your TV already and you didn't have to enter a PIN at all. From 2.1.9 on each new HomeKit-TV gets a new uuid and will trigger a new PIN request from your TV.

Another thing is to check the list of authorized "applications" in your TV. The plugin should be listed somewhere in your TV, theres a list of everything that had successfully enter a PIN.

yes, I can enter the PIN and the TV respones, that my remote is successfully added. I installed 2.1.9 version and also it is working. Okay, what you wrote , that I hardly understand. :) I hope, I could help finding the solution.

I'm still having the same issue, and downgrading from the latest version to 2.1.9 didn't change anything either, am I doing anything wrong?

normen commented 4 years ago

Try a different browser

B0LT5S commented 4 years ago

I tried using chrome instead of safari and the same issue happened.

normen commented 4 years ago

No idea then, I can't reproduce the issue.
