[VD] for SONY Android TV

[dimae 16]

Hi,

 

I would like to share this Virtual Device for Android TV (Oreo 8.0) SONY Oled AG9. Maybe it is working for another TVs as well. If not, you just need to find the correct codes.

 

This VD was made from big help and examples of @StarkJohan so I was basically improving a little bit more his examples. @Fodder1 was also looking for this solution. I have tried to make this VD as complete as my original Sony remote. 

 

1st) you need to know IP address of your TV: Home > Settings > Network > Advanced settings > Network status IP address

2nd) you need to enable remote connection here: Home > Settings > Home network > setup IP control > enable "Authentication Normal and PreShared Key (PSK). Set “0000" in this trial.

 

If you need your TV codes you can get it using terminal console. Follow this commands

 and execute ./print_ircc_codes.sh SONYTV_IP

 

That's all  I hope it helps,

Thanks,

Hi, @dimae. Thanks a lot for the VD, it's written quite elegantly. I have only one problem with it - left button doesn't work for me for some reason. I've checked the code, following your method and the code is ok. Have you experienced smth like this on your setup?

VD

Hello @dimae, great work!!

 

 

I have imported the file but unfortunatley only one button works (SetPower) which is turning OFF the TV only.

 

I'm wondering if I'm missing any thing in the configuration. IP address is correct and TCP is set to 80. If the IP and TCP are not correct, I don't think that one button would even work.

 

My TV is Sony TV (KD65A1) and the software is Android 8.0

 

Let me know what I should do ot make it work... I couldn't figure out the github insturctions as I'm not a technical person

 

Thank you!

Have you changed IP and Secret in Button 1? All the main config goes through button 1. If yes, what does debug say?

BTW, I've solved my own problem. For some reason the VD doesn't like word "left" Changed "Left" to "Leftt" in both left button itself and the button 1 and everything works like a charm now.

Thank you @baskalex for the answer. It is strange that I didn't get notifed that there is a new answer on my question.

 

I didn't change the IP and not sure what is the Secrent Button.

 

When I did debug, this is what I get:

@Mustafa

You need to put your TV IP address, port and "secret" in the VD. IP and Port should be enclosed in "". Port is usually 80. Regarding the "secret" there is manual in the first post how to set it up on your TV. If you don;t want to change it in VD, just use 0000 on your TV.

Thanks for the quick response @baskalex

 

I added them as you can see, I still get the error

 

As for the Secret, I got what you mean. I had the Authnitcation set up on the TV already as 0000

 

Let me know if anything else I'm missing?

@Mustafa

You should change lines 52 and 53 back to original. You only needed to change line 54. 

[Guest Mustafa]

@baskalex done as you mentioned... getting the below error.

@Mustafa

You should also create global  variable named "tvCmd".

[Guest Mustafa]

@baskalex

Is there any guide on how to create variable?

This is what I see on the same button

Thank you very much @baskalex!!

 

Finally I was able to connect the TV!

 

Will examine the buttons if all are working or not... for now thanks for the help!

Hello all,

 

I am sorry to all because delay. I haven't seen notifications here! (I thought I would be informed by email, I don't). I have fixed the "left" button... It was a very silly mistake by my side. Sorry. 

I have added a few small things like "No Image" button (very useful for OLED screens in order to avoid burning ons screen) and Apps and English translation.

 

For me it's working at 100%. Please all credits are for @StarkJohan. I only made my own adaptation with full buttons

Thank you @dimae

 

 

I have one question, not sure if this is the right thred to ask, but I want to create a scene where my TV will open a particular app like Spotify. Is this an option to have the code mebded where it will be part of the remote buttons?

You should make a scene that trigger pushing that button on your Sony VD. This VD will do nothing until you press a button...

 

What would be the condition that trigger this action? This is the first thing to define, then create this scene.

 

IE if sensor if breached, then push button X on this VD, or whatever you want to make

I was actually hoping to get a code like this one:

Netflix = "AAAAAgAAABoAAAB8Aw==",
YouTube = "AAAAAgAAAMQAAABHAw==",

Spotify = "

 

So I can assign a button where in my scene I request the system to click on "Spotify" then start play the songs. Now it is difficult to play a certin song or spotify because I have to give order like button down, then right, then button OK, etc. and for sure it is not reliable

 

Let me know if you know a work around 

 

Thanks!
