I hope someone van help me out, since following the wiki and solutions in this thread didn't work for me.

when i run the command: samsungctl -i --host 192.168.1.26 --method websocket, I get:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/samsungctl", line 9, in <module>

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samsungctl/__main__.py", line 37, in _read_config
    except FileNotFoundError:
NameError: global name 'FileNotFoundError' is not defined

I tried running the command: sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/samsungctl/ /usr/lib/python3.4/, but that doesn't change a thing
I can see I have to versions of Python. /usr/local/lib shows:
drwxrwsr-x 4 root staff 4096 Jul 5 12:49 python2.7
drwxrwsr-x 3 root staff 4096 Aug 2 15:33 python3.4

I really hope someone can help me out to get to the next step of controlling my samsung tv

samsungctl require python 3. just try install it using e.g. : sudo pip3 install samsungctl

[desertdog]

When i try to do that I get the message it's already installed:
Requirement already up-to-date: samsungctl in /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages

[zak45]

if you take a look to your output log :

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/samsungctl/

This look like samsungctl has been installed under 2.7 environnment, uninstall it and install it with pip3.
the same for others modules.

i do have the plugin.py in the folder plugins/samsungctl did try also to change the folder to SamsungTV and Samsung TV without suc6
also checked if /usr/lib/python3.5/samsungctl/remote.py and /usr/lib/python3.5/samsungctl/remote_websocket.py are there and they are

If i restart domoticz i do get

I do have a K series tv so maybe it does not work ue49ks7000s
if i do samsungctl --host 192.168.0.112 --method websocket KEY_VOLUP that is working also samsungctl --host 192.168.0.112 --method websocket KEY_MUTE

Hi, new to this forum. Or at least posting something on it

I have the exact same issue. Everything works through the command line, but in Domoticz it does not work and gives the same errors.
I also have a Samsung KS7000 TV.

Does anyone have the solution?

[zak45]

verify that you have websocket under /usr/lib/python3.5/
if not, copy it could help.

Ik ben inmiddels weer een paar stappen verder. Het bleek dat in de config file verwezen werd naar de 0.6.0. versie ipv de 0.7.0 versie. Dit heb ik handmatig aangepakt waarna de onderstaande foutmelding is verdwenen

Code: Select all

Echter, als ik het commando 'samsungctl -i --host 192.168.1.26' geef dan krijg ik 'Error: Connection refused'
Bij 'samsungctl -i --host 192.168.1.26 --method websocket' krijg ik: 'Error: Operation now in progress'

Op mijn tv heb ik geen popup gezien of ik toestemming wilde geven en ook in de device lijsten op de tv zie ik niets geblokt. Momenteel is alleen in deze device lijst mijn telefoon verbonden met de televisie.

Model tv wat ik heb is de SAMSUNG UE48J6200

I had the same issue when I upgraded to 0.7.0, could not find out why. So I downgraded to 0.6.0 and could connect through command line. But still nothing through Webinterface. Will double check everything tonight, but I think everything is okay.

Where did you find the config file for redirection of the version number?

[Jostice]

verify that you have websocket under /usr/lib/python3.5/
if not, copy it could help.

I use python3.4 (quote was from another user). But yes, the directories are copied to /usr/lib/python3.4/
samsungctl and websocket both together

Everything works seemles with the command line, but in Domoticz I get these errors when controlling volume for example....
Can anybody help me out or point me in some direction?

edit: figured it out!
When checking status of websocket-client I saw that six.py is required.
Six was always installed, but in a previous python environment.

Solution: copy six.py to right directory, in my case:

Code: Select all

cp -r /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/six.py /usr/lib/python3.4

thanks @Jostice that should help others

hi guys,
i am a month tring to install samsungtcl but omg guide is not clear.
i installed samsung tcl

Code: Select all

:-$ samsungctl -version
samsungctl 0.7.0

ok then (by guide)

Code: Select all

sudo cp -r /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/samsungctl/ /usr/lib/python3.4/
File or directory not exist

ok i understand that path is 3.5 but 3.5 folder dist-packages is empty (there isn't samsungctl)
look /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/samsungctl/ and it's empty.
i don't understand why....

python3 -V give me 3.5.2

[zak45]

@dextm80
there is lots os different configuration possible.
all need to be adapted at your env.

in your case, looks like you have python 3.5, so path should be /usr/lib/python3.5/ (need to be verified)
And as you use linux, probably python 2.7 is also installed and you need to use pip3 instead pip.

Check also the folder site-packages in your python3.5 folder, could be it's installed there...

so something like: /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages/

I have exactly the same problem.
Do you you have it already fixed?

Yes, check the forum post right after that one! There is the solution.
