I think i know the issue anyway, it will most likely be a change in the domoticz.js file for the remote has been lost...

Remote issue is now fixed, all working

[deejc]

i am still seeing the same, i just updated to 2.4582

[sijones]

Try clearing your cache or try another browser for testing.

I've just compiled from domoticz/master and it's working fine, so think it's a caching issue.

[deejc]

tried all the above and still no response from the tv.

[sijones]

Can anyone else confirm this issue?

[deejc]

Just updated to the newest rpi version and it's working probably missed being included in the last build.
Thanks

Hi
Maybe some users help an write plugin the same as it to control Denon AV Reciver...? I can help with test only because i dont know write plugin.

Maybe owner plugin Panasonic TV can help ? Control Denon is very simple by send command by http.

'lo,

to start: thanks for building the plugin.. it works for most of the commands on my Viera VT50 (plasma) TV.

What puzzles me though, is that only some of the commands work.. e.g.
https://address/json.htm?type=command&p ... on=inputtv
works, where
https://address/json.htm?type=command&p ... on=inputav
and the HDMI commands don't. I've looked through the code but can't see what could cause it.. inputav is on my remote so it should work..

any ideas ?

Can you enable debug - put a - in front of the port number?

See what that the response when you send the command - it might not even being sent if my plugin doesn't understand it, although it should.

[vervoto1]

plugin appears to work fine.. it just doesn't really do anything when it should move to AV, but works every time when moving to TV. Could it be that the TV simply doesnt understand this command ? (TC-P55VT50)

It's possible that the TV doesn't understand it yes.

This plugin pretty much copies what the Panasonic TV remote app on android does, have you tried the android remote app to see if that can do it?

[vervoto1]

Yes that's the strange thing.. Via the app it works without issues using the AV button on the main remote screen. Is there any way to check / intercept what command it sends eg capture via wireshark?

[sijones]

Yes you can capture it, the setup will be down to how you have your network.

But you should apply a filter of the TV IP and Port and then you should see the xml sent.

[vervoto1]

think I found it.. looks like an error in the code:

in possible commands in Panasonictv.Cpp and all over the internet, this is quoted:
"NRC_CHG_INPUT-ONOFF" => "AV",

Later in the code on row 524 it states though:
else if (command == "inputav")
sPanasonicCall = buildXMLStringNetCtl("AV-ONOFF");

This AV-ONOFF, at least to my knowledge and what I could find, if not documented anywhere. If I change that to

else if (command == "inputav")
sPanasonicCall = buildXMLStringNetCtl("CHG_INPUT-ONOFF");

it works like a charm

[sijones]

Can you test the HDMI while you there, I want to compare?

Thanks

[vervoto1]

dead in the water.. no reply from the TV.. but it seems that this button isn't on my viera app either, so perhaps the TV doesn;t support it.. the AV (toggle) button is present in the app. that applies to HDMI1 -> HDMI4 btw

[deejc]

hello again,
been using the plugin for a while now but only just realised it doesnt turn the TV on, i m also using the homebridge-pnasonic plugin which can turn it on from the network, any ideas ?
this is the debug log, the icon changes to indicate the TV is on (even though its off) and once its on the plugin will switch it off, change channels etc..
i do see this 2016-09-15 18:41:30.993 Error: Panasonic Plugin: (Viera) Device is Off, cannot send command. which technically is correct.

It's not a bug, the TV has no response to any network command when it's in it's off state. Maybe you could try sending a WOL command to your TV to see if it works but unless there is some documentation I can't implement a way to wake the TV up.
