Cannot activate all sources

[marcperreten]

Hello community

I have successfully written a driver that handles most of the functions. Volume, mute, and some sources work well.

eg I can select Line IN and NetRadio without any problem. Did it so:
http://192.168.1.105/api/v1/playback/sources/active/lineIn

But now I would like to be able to select the HDMI A B C and cannot do this:
Where do I go wrong:
http://192.168.10.201/api/v1/playback/sources/active/tv://hdmi_1

Thank you for all helpful inputs.

Hi,

So video "sources" are not stored as sources like audio sources. Instead look at get_remote_menu to see video sources and activate them with post_remote_trigger.

To see an example of this you can look at the Home Assistant code here: https://github.com/bang-olufsen/bangolufsen-hacs/blob/53e63181ca8ebd1743fc72609dc22855ce4135e7/custom_components/bangolufsen/media_player.py#L448
and here:
https://github.com/bang-olufsen/bangolufsen-hacs/blob/53e63181ca8ebd1743fc72609dc22855ce4135e7/custom_components/bangolufsen/media_player.py#L939

Kind regards.

Sorry, only now get to continue.

That means I send

POST /api/v1/remote/id/trigger HTTP/1.1

right?

What does the "id" look like for HDMI1 on a Theater? If you can give an example that would help me a lot.

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply, here is an example of switching HDMI input.

from GET /api/v1/remote you get a key, value map of RemoteMenuItem values. An example of this is:

{
  "0cce0072-55fd-4abb-b5a2-aa4cad606f53": {
    "actionList": [
      {
        "contentId": "tv://hdmi_3",
        "type": "triggerContent"
      }
    ],
    "available": true,
    "content": {
      "categories": [
        "hdmi"
      ],
      "contentUri": "tv://hdmi_3",
      "label": "HDMI C",
      "source": {
        "value": "tv"
      }
    },
    "disabled": false,
    "dynamicList": "none",
    "fixed": false,
    "id": "0cce0072-55fd-4abb-b5a2-aa4cad606f53",
    "label": "HDMI C",
    "parentMenuItemId": "1a873cf6-0881-43f4-8ec7-4ff9cb9b7cf2"
  },
}

To trigger this item (HDMI C / HDMI 3) I would use the POST /api/v1/remote/{id}/trigger with the id being the desired sources key, so in this case it would be POST /api/v1/remote/0cce0072-55fd-4abb-b5a2-aa4cad606f53/trigger or with curl:

curl --request POST \
  --url http://0.0.0.0/api/v1/remote/0cce0072-55fd-4abb-b5a2-aa4cad606f53/trigger \
  --header 'Accept: application/json' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json'

Don't hesitate for any clarifications or other questions.

Kind regards.
