I've developed a simplified API to interact with some common libraries that run on SamyGO (B/C/D/E/H) and I'm releasing it to the community, for tests, ideas and improvements
![Smile :)]()
You can get it here:
https://github.com/mad-ady/samygo-webSamyGO web APIThe Web API exposes some of SamyGO's plugins to external clients. The API tries to return data in json format where possible, but uses image/jpg for screenshots.
Features:
- Get TV State and current program details via libLogChannel
- Control the TV via samyGOrc with remote actions
- Reboot the TV
- Get a screenshot of what is on the screen via libScreenShot
- Compatibility with libSoftPowerOff (viewtopic.php?t=8987&start=230)
Dependencies:
Installation:
Download to your rooted SamyGO TV:
CODE:
cd /tmpcurl -k https://codeload.github.com/mad-ady/samygo-web/zip/master > samygo-web-api.zip
Unzip
CODE:
unzip samygo-web-api.zip
Run the installation script:
CODE:
./samygo-web-master/installer.sh
LibSoftPowerOff coexistence:
If you have libSoftPowerOff enabled in your TV and you use the screenshot functionality, in order not to inject the screenshot command when the display is off you can signal that the TV is in soft-off mode by configuring libSoftPowerOff.so to run two scripts on power on/off. When you load the libSoftPowerOff library, use the following options:
CODE:
CMD_ON:/mnt/scripts/onPowerOn.sh CMD_OFF:/mnt/scripts/onPowerOff.sh
The onPowerOn.sh/onPowerOff.sh scripts (among other functionality) should set a flag by creating a file called
:
- onPowerOn.sh: rm -f /dtv/tvIsSleeping
- onPowerOff.sh: touch /dtv/tvIsSleeping
If you don't use libSoftPowerOff, the TV powers off and the web API is no longer accessible.
Startup:
CODE:
/mnt/etc/init.d/99_99_samygo_web_api.init start
On first run the startup script will generate a unique challenge which will be printed by the startup screen. This challenge is generated in
CODE:
/mnt/etc/samygo-web-api.challenge
. You will need to supply this challenge string on all requests. The security is equivalent to HTTP Simple Auth and should protect you against somebody scanning your system, but will not protect you from a man-in-the middle attack! Also, don't use over unencrypted internet!
API Usage:
to get the current information, request for action=CHANNELINFO:
CODE:
$ wget -O - "http://tv-ip:1080/cgi-bin/samygo-web-api.cgi?challenge=oyd4uIz5WWAkWPo5MzfxBFraI05C3FDorSPE7xiMLCVAQ40a&action=CHANNELINFO"{"source":"TV (0)","pvr_status":"NONE","powerstate":"Normal","tv_mode":"Cable (1)","volume":"9","channel_number":"45","channel_name":"Nat Geo HD","program_name":"Planeta dezastrelor","resolution":"1920x1080","error":false}
to reboot TV request for action=REBOOT:
CODE:
$ wget -O - http://tv-ip:1080/cgi-bin/samygo-web-api.cgi?challenge=oyd4uIz5WWAkWPo5MzfxBFraI05C3FDorSPE7xiMLCVAQ40a&action=REBOOT
to send key events request for action=KEY and key=KEY_1:
CODE:
$ wget -O - http://tv-ip:1080/cgi-bin/samygo-web-api.cgi?challenge=oyd4uIz5WWAkWPo5MzfxBFraI05C3FDorSPE7xiMLCVAQ40a&action=KEY&key=KEY_1{"error":false,"message":"Sent key 4"}
The list and codes of supported keys are available inside the script in the $KEYS array:
https://github.com/mad-ady/samygo-web/b ... eb-api.cgi to get a snapshot from the TV request for action=SNAPSHOT:
CODE:
$ wget -O /tmp/image.jpg http://tv-ip:1080/cgi-bin/samygo-web-api.cgi?challenge=oyd4uIz5WWAkWPo5MzfxBFraI05C3FDorSPE7xiMLCVAQ40a&action=SNAPSHOT
