Your PC as remote control

Hi There,

I have developed an application to remote control a philips TV using your PC.

Attachment 743

Just surf to: http://www.netdata.be/tv/

This is a javascript / HTML application which runs inside your browser.

Just fill in the IP address of your TV.
It might look strange that need to fill in the IP on de site, but this is just to configure the javascript application.

Once filled in you should be able to remote control the TV.

Any questions, just shoot

Hi,

I think this is only working for 2011 TVs. Correct me, if I'm wrong.

Interesting idea, I already see myself goofing off with wife watching her FOX CRIME and volume getting loud all the time...LOL.

However, I when I put IP address of TV, I'm still getting error message. TV is reachable at least with respect to ping/ICMP protocol. What protocol is used to communicate with TV ?
8505

Hi,

I think, the tool is using HTTP JSON queries... only for 2011 TV sets...

Toengel@Alex

It uses the REST HTTP API,

Try if you are able to open http://IP-OF-YOUR-TV:1925
If that works you are able to use this application

See also the jointspace homepage for more info:
http://jointspace.sourceforge.net/

@Toengel, indeed you are right, since it seems that only the 2011 TV's have the REST API

Hi Netdata,

Thanks! It works better then the philips remote app on my iPhone !

Also it works perfect on my mac and pc!

Thanks freedive, just checkout the handy shortcuts,
It makes it very easy to navigate (For example in the youtube leanback app)

Is it possible to run it on my own web server...aka...is it open source ?

Confirming its 2011 series exclusive.
@Toengel - is this HTTP JSON viable for 2010 wishlist ?
@NetData - Great move anyway, respect.

Hi freedive,

Yes I will upload it later this evening to github

Whoehoe! Good work!

Voila here you go:
https://github.com/netdata/pcremote

I have to say the application is still in int begin phase

When i have some suggestions i will post it.

Maybe, if possible to add something for the ambilight to control ?
(I don't now how much is controlable via JointSpace)

I'm working on the ambilight stuff, it is very advanced when using this intrface.

In the Philips remote app there is a virtual keyboard available.

In the JointSpace API docs i cannot find this, is this excluded by philips maybe ?
