App Identification

[DavisIan22]

When I create a switch or a custom input, I get the error that the app ID doesn't exist. I was attempting to use Netflix: 11101200001

It appears that with the new models of TVs this year, Samsung has decided to change the way applications are called over LAN. It seems that the application IDs are no longer valid. I have a feeling like the application IDs have transitioned over to a org.tizen.netflix type of sequence.

So, without getting root access to the new TVs or a way to decrypt the .mds updates, we won't be able to get the application ids for Spotify, or Apple TV+, or the applications not on the remote.

I've been doing some reading and tinkering with inputs/switches/commands, and here's what I'm thinking:
The newer Samsung TVs come with remotes that have physical Netflix and Amazon Prime buttons. As we're able to program switches that allow us to change source, or mute, there must be a KEY_COMMAND that triggers the corresponding application.

KEY_MUTE works and so does KEY_SOURCE with newer TVs, so I'm thinking there must be a way to get a button for Netflix or Prime Video (Whatever physical buttons people have).
If anyone knows how to get the list of available remote commands from the TV, that would be epic, or if you have anything to add, please chime in.

@DrJapan Even if there is a KEY ... all the "inputs" functionality will be gone since we can't check for status ...
In my country i'm on the latest OS and everything works. Probably the new OS was released only in some countries

That makes more sense. It is a brand new Samsung TV I got 2 months ago. I live in the US and I will try to figure it out. If I do I’ll let you know

Even with the new codes, I've realized the issue is with the java code. The code relies on http://(ip of tv):8001/api/v2/applications to populate the list of applications, but when going to that url, all that comes up is: 404, so then the plugin throws an error that the supplied ID can't verified against the non-existent list.

If there is some way to get the plugin to act like a remote device manager, then there would be a way for the device manager to query the TV for the list of applications. Hence how I was able to get this list.

Hei. Please follow this issue #264

I've made an update for the plugin to use new method of opening the apps which should be compatible with newer TVs too.

Regarding the ID of the app, looks like it differs from region to region and based on your TV model. On some newer TVs the new Netflix id is 3201907018807. So you can try this settings too.

@DrJapan Thank you for the list! I need to find an option to update the wiki and be easy to understand.

@tavicu Let me know if you need any help setting up said Wiki.
