WifiRemote - a tcp remote control server 0.8.3 [2014-07-20] (1 Viewer)

A long shoot, but have you tried to disable Bonjour on your pc?

Disabled Bonjour service at startup and restarted -- no change. Everything else works just the same. I thought I needed Bonjour for MPExtended to work?

No, bonjour is only needed for making configuration of the clients simpler.,

Uploaded another log, but everything looks good to me (and my limited experience with MP). Any other clues?

From your log file it looks like ampdroid is connecting with invalid authentication data:
[2015-10-09 03:26:44,385] [Log ] [18 ] [INFO ] - [WIFI_REMOTE] User aMPdroid authentification failed

Check if you use the same settings in WifiRemote config and ampdroid. The crash in the log file is caused by IMDB+, not by WifiRemote (which seems to work as designed if we can believe the log file).[DOUBLEPOST=1444600309][/DOUBLEPOST]

I don't think Bonjour is the issue here. The client finds WifiRemote and a connection is established. This is already beyond the "impact range" of bonjour.

Big thanks! Didn't realize the login info had to be identical for WifiRemote and MPExtended.

The crash in the log file is caused by IMDB+, not by WifiRemote (which seems to work as designed if we can believe the log file).

Uninstalled IMDB+, but WifiRemote configuration still crashes through the MP extension manager; but it's not really an issue to me, since it works just fine through the plugins section using MP configuration.



Now, to get MPExtended to work outside my local network... (managed to get it working one night, and woke up to it dead )

Hi guys, hope you guys can help me out with a problem...

I'm working with Domoticz (a domotica system om my NAS). For some actions I would like my mediaportal to 'pause' (e.g. when the doorbell rings).

I'm a real N00B with coding. I'm reading and Google-ing alot, but everything I do doesn't seem to work

This is my tiny script:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json"  'http://192.168.1.151:8017'


'{
    "Type":"command",
    "Command":"pause"
}'

I get a proper response from the server:

{"Type":"welcome","Server_Version":17,"AuthMethod":0,"MPExtendedServicesInstalled":{"MAS":true,"TAS":true,"WSS":true},"TvP
luginInstalled":false}

But how do I post my request to pause MediaPortal??

Sorry for this question, but it's driving me crazy right now...

Hi Guys,

Like Luke V, I'm facing the same issue.
Does WifiRemote use a standard REST protocol ?

Your help will be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Pack

Have you read the wiki?

[packstlauren]

Thanks you for the reply.

But yes I have read the wiki.
I 'm using WifiRemote with curl from a linux machine or with a firefox REST client plugin. But what ever I do, the server responds me
{"Type":"welcome","Server_Version":17,"AuthMethod":0,"MPExtendedServicesInstalled":{"MAS":true,"TAS":true,"WSS":true},"TvP
luginInstalled":false}.

With the demo client it works. I use the commands logged by this client, but I always get the same response.

Does anybody have succced to use curl and without authentification ?

Thanks,

Pack

 

[johanj]

I haven't tried with no authentification but in the wiki it says "For 'userpass' you will have to supply the correct combination of username and password. For 'passcode' you only have to supply a correct PIN. The 'none' authentication method will always authenticate you, without needing any further information."

Have you tried sending the identfiy message from Curl?

Hi,

It seems that WifiRemote is using socket (from client sources). So it is not a standard REST interface.

Does anyone knows how to use socket with a linux command line ?
I have try netcat but no success.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
