Actions

Most plugin functionality is exposed via device actions. Not all TVs support all actions -- for example, if you have a plasma TV, don't expect the backlight controls to work. The sound commands only work when audio is routed to the TV's internal speakers. Some settings might have a different name on your TV (for example, the Surround and Dialog settings may or may not be SRS co-branded), and different models have different names for the various sound and picture modes, or different numbers of supported modes. If you select a mode that's not supported by your TV, expect to see the "Not Available" error briefly appear on the display.

This plugin doesn't expose an "arbitrary ex-link command" API because I've added all the ex-link commands I've been able to find in multiple documentation sources. If you find any commands that this plugin doesn't support, please send me your documentation and I'll be happy to add them.

Set Volume

Set the audio volume of the TV's internal speakers. If successful, the current volume of the device is updated.

Set Channel

Change the TV channel. If successful, the current channel of the device is updated. This command only works if the selected input is "TV"

Set Picture Mode

Select a picture mode (Dynamic / Standard / etc) for the display. If successful, the current picture mode of the device is updated. You may also use the "Picture Mode" Button Press Action to scroll through available picture modes.

Set Picture Size

Select a picture size (Zoom / Wide Fit / etc) for the display. If successful, the current picture size of the device is updated.

Set Sound Mode

Select a sound mode (Music / Movie / etc) of the TV's internal speakers. If successful, the current sound mode of the device is updated. You may also use the "Sound Mode" Button Press Action to scroll through available sound modes.

Set TV Mode Antenna/Cable

Change the tuner mode to antenna or cable.

Set Language (English/Spanish/French/Korean/Japanese)
