I’ve been playing around with using IP to control the HTS, and I’ve got it working using the UDP protocol. The issue I’m having is I need to send 2 hex data streams to it for some of the commands. For example, I send the first stream to the HTS and the volume starts going up and won’t stop until I send the second data stream to it. Its acting like there is start/stop commands.
How can I set up the roomiecontrol.plist file to send these values over one after the other. Both need to be a group of hex numbers like <08031200 2a080801 12040819 1002> and the last number needs to be toggled between 1 and 2. 2 appears to start the process and 1 stops it.
BTW, there is only power off, no power on, which is ok since I can cover that with the IR interface.
Thanks

That sounds much like the LG BDP protocol. You might want to try that set first. It’s LG, 2013+ Models, Blu-ray Player.
The codes look like this in a RoomieCodes file:
<key>BACK</key><string>\x08\x03\x12\x00\x2a\x08\x08\x01\x12\x04\x08\x17\x10$LGTOGGLE$</string>
We have a special flag as you can see to handle exactly that toggle scenario.
Sending a “stop” command for a given repetition just needs a “#” at the end of the command name. Like this:
<key>FORWARD</key><string>....</string>
<key>FORWARD#</key><string>....</string>
Thank you.
I tried the LG2013+ as you suggested and it works, except it doesn’t have all the options that the HTS supports. The strange thing is, the HTS I have is early 2012 model I believe…
Is there a way I can extract the roomiecontrol.plist file for the player you suggested so I can update it to match the HTS?
Thanks

Send any extra codes to support. We can probably just add them to the existing set or dupe the set.
Thank you.
