WebOS version 3.60.19
Model SM9010PLA 55 inch 4K confirmed working.

I assume you are running in a python 3.x environment, since
python -m venv lgtv-venv looks 3.x, in 2.x this has to be used: virtualenv lgtv-venv

My Environment is Python 3.8.2 in Ubuntu 20.04
the first error occured whille running pip install git+https://github.com/klattimer/LGWebOSRemote:

error: invalid command 'bdist_wheel'

so I added pip install wheel just after activating the virtual environment.
I was able to scan and auth, but issiong a swInfo command failed:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

This issue was already fixed (issue an MR still open) and did work for me.

But I got another error:

lgtv MyTV swInfo

I think there is some auzhentication failure, but I found a rather old installation, in a python 2.7.16 environment, against commit 130e619 which is still working

Hey there,

Curious if there is a way to utilize this app to send media (audio/video) to the TV via DLNA, similar to the YouTube example.

That would be awesome!

There's a folder named LGTV and a file named lgtv in the same directory so git clone will succeed without cloning the folder LGTV. (at least with git 2.14.3 (Apple Git-98))

Hey,

i messed up something something... 😅

When i try to run lgtv scan:

timed out
timed out
timed out

$ cat ~/.lgtv.json

cat: /home/pi/.lgtv.json: No such file or directory

But lgtv on and lgtv off are working fine 🤔

But when i run lgtv mute or other command i get

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/lgtv", line 11, in

Using Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with Raspbian Buster

i'm trying to control my tv, but command "auth" don't work. (i try "python lgtv.py auth" or "python lgtv.py auth ipaddress", or create the json file manually, but nothing)

The command lgtv scan is causing a Socket Timeout error almost instantly which makes me think the timeout might be set to one second or less or it's a different cause I don't really know.
Anyway the full error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "H:\Programacao\Python\lgtv-os\lgtv-venv\Scripts\lgtv-script.py", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('LGTV==0.2', 'console_scripts', 'lgtv')()

    response, address = sock.recvfrom(512)
socket.timeout: timed out

Trying to figure out how the 'scan' works, and whether I have to edit lgtv.py or the .json file.

My LAN is 192.168.1.* and the TV is .118. I know its MAC by asking my router for it. What's the next step to having it scan? Should I just try nmap on the TV to figure out how different webOS is?

add Model to Readme UJ635V 55"

Looks like that workaround should work for me. Thanks

Finally got this awesome script working tonight on my QNAP NAS with Entware!

However, disappointed to find out that the openYoutubeId and openYoutubeURL functions don't seem to have any effect on my TV; YouTube will open, but doesn't load any video, regardless of what you specify.

Using the openBrowserAt command with the URL works, but I'd love to get the YouTube app working properly. I thought maybe I could try to get it working via the openAppWithPayload command and passing the ID as a parameter to it, but that doesn't work either.

Any ideas why this doesn't work?

UPDATE: I think this is because the linux machine running the script actually needs to "pair" with the YouTube app (similar to what a phone does when casting to it)

I found some examples of this in other sources:

• https://github.com/ConnectSDK/Connect-SDK-iOS-Core/blob/master/Services/WebOSTVService.m
• https://github.com/ConnectSDK/Connect-SDK-Android-Core/blob/master/src/com/connectsdk/service/WebOSTVService.java
• https://github.com/ConnectSDK/Connect-SDK-Android-Core/pull/93/files?diff=split&short_path=04c6e90&unchanged=expanded
• https://www.programcreek.com/java-api-examples/index.php?api=com.connectsdk.core.AppInfo

Where essentially the parameter being passed is contentId with some additional variables added to it:
params.put("contentId", String.format("%s&pairingCode=%s&t=%.1f", contentId, UUID.randomUUID().toString(), startTime));

so basically it needs a random UUID passed with a time value?

Something like:
{"contentId": videoid+'&pairingCode='+randomUUID+'&t=1'}}

I tried editing the script and passing something like this when openYoutubeId was being called, but it didn't help; YouTube would still open but no video would play.

I'm playing with master, and it looks like you're working on it, so my issue may just be due to living on the bleeding edge. Seems like the package is Python 3 now among other things. Anyway, before I start, thanks for putting this together, exactly what I was looking for!

So, I'm using it with an LG OLED55C9 with WebOS 4.7.0. Installed using Python 3.4, which worked well, except for wakeonlan which I had to install manually. After looking at the source a bit, I managed to figure out the new syntax requiring the device name, and authenticated. Basic commands work fine, on/off/mute/volume. None of the commands for retrieving information seem to work though, eg:

pi$ lgtv LGOLED listInputs
{"closing": {"code": 1000, "reason": ""}}

My only goal here is to be able to turn on the TV and switch inputs, but I can't figure out the correct input names, so I'm stuck. I've tried the input names, like:

pi$ lgtv LGOLED setInput "HDMI 2"
{"closing": {"reason": "", "code": 1000}}

and also the names I assigned to the various inputs, but nothing seems to work.

Any idea?

Thanks again!

When I do

python lgtv.py auth <IP_ADDRESS>

I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "lgtv.py", line 484, in
ws = LGTVClient()
File "lgtv.py", line 215, in init
super(LGTVClient, self).init('ws://' + self.__hostname + ':3000/', exclude_headers=["Origin"])
TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'exclude_headers'

When I have loaded the webbrowser with openBrowserAt (to http://google.com), and then I do

python lgtv.py closeApp com.webos.app.browser

I get:

{"payload": {}, "type": "error", "id": "0", "error": "403 access denied"}
{"payload": {}, "type": "error", "id": "0", "error": "403 access denied"}
{"closing": {"reason": "", "code": 1000}}

and the TV starts displaying a screensaver. Any ideas why? I can't find a reliable way to close it. Any suggestions would be great.

Hi,

I'm trying to open a Youtube video using the two methods in the README, however neither seem to work.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

hey, do you think it is possible to send cmds for EZ_ADJUST Menus over network? I can't figure out the commands

Thanks,

This is a big issue for home automation: I always want to send a "tv off" signal if my system detects i've left my house. Now this is not possible since it will turn on the tv when its already off :(

Using a TV remove users can go to the ECO mode and turn screen off. However, is it possible to do this from the app? That way music can be playing on the TV while the screen is off.

This is possible from the remote & LG menu. Just checking to find out if is it possible to automate it.

Hi and thanks for your great libary!
I have succesfully installed it on my pi and I can controll the TV from a command line.
I am trying to integrate it into my HAP-Node.js, so I can for example turn on my TV. To do this I call lgtv.sh as a child process with exec('/home/pi/LGWebOSRemote/lgtv.sh on');
Unfortunately I get this error:

Hello! First of all, many thanks for your great work!

I tried to install & configure and ran into some troubles. A friend of mine came up with the following fixes. Not sure if i can help you with this but it helped my situation:

Device: Raspberry Pi 3 with Jessie Lite
Python version 2.7.9

1. Syntax Error(s)

It started with syntax error's on lgtv.py. Maybe it had to do with the python version I used (?)

  File "lgtv.py", line 3
    from __future__ import print
                               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Fix:
Edit in file: lgtv.py
Comment: see first line and #.

from __future__ import print_function
import sys
import json
#from __future__ import print_function
from inspect import getargspec
from LGTV import LGTVScan, LGTVClient, getCommands

2. Module ws4py error(s)

After that we got the following error (see below). After some searching it seems to have something to do with the ws4py version and python 2.7.9 (not totally sure)

python lgtv.py auth 192.168.1.23
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lgtv.py", line 77, in <module>
    ws = LGTVClient(sys.argv[2])

    super(LGTVClient, self).__init__('ws://' + self.__hostname + ':3000/', exclude_headers=["Origin"])
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'exclude_headers'

Fix:
Got the latest version directly from git (seems to be newer then via pip)
git clone https://github.com/Lawouach/WebSocket-for-Python.git

3. global name 'ws' is not defined error

And at last we got the 'global name 'ws' is not defined error' (see below)

 python lgtv.py auth 192.168.1.23
{"closing": {"reason": "Going away", "code": 1006}}

Hi,

You have parentheses issue on:

Running a scan will result in a syntax error.

All commands except 'lgtv on' work (simply typing them in Windows cmd) because it doesn't have the MAC address. I can't figure out where to write it.

I am thinking of using this in some sort of kiosk setup, and was wondering if there's a way to enter and exit full screen with this?

HI
Can you share the setup to install this tool in Windows 10

I don't get the two commands

• openYoutubeURL
• openYoutubeId

to work properly. Youtube is started, but not the video.
I'm using it on WebOS 3.5 (LG55UK6100PLB)

Any advice what is causing this problem and how to resolve?

Here is the log:

python lgtv.py openYoutubeId vOW0i8wopaE
{"type": "response", "id": "0", "payload": {"sessionId": "eW91dHViZS5sZWFuYmFjay52NA==", "id": "youtube.leanback.v4", "returnValue": true}}
{"closing": {"reason": "", "code": 1000}}

Looks like I overlooked having more than one LGTV, will work on that later.

Turning on the TV via Wake on LAN is unreliable after a few minutes, this is probably because LG haven't gotten the state of the wifi hardware setup correctly when the TV is in standby and the setting is correctly enabled on the TV.

I'd appreciate someone confirming this bug for me if possible.

arp command is deprecated on Debian 9.6. Replacement command to get mac addresses is ip neigh show

Here modified getMacAddress

def getMacAddress(address):
    pid = subprocess.Popen(["ip", "neigh", "show", address], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
    s = pid.communicate()[0].decode('utf-8')
    matches = re.search("(([a-f\d]{1,2}\:){5}[a-f\d]{1,2}) REACHABLE", s)
    if not matches:
        return None
    mac = matches.groups()[0]
    m = mac.split(':')
    mac = ':'.join(['%02x' % int(x, 16) for x in m])
    return mac

Thank you for doing this.

Not sure what to look at to fix this. The webOS version on the tv is 4.1.4-5726.

Thanks again.

I get the an import error "no module named ws4py". Tried on Python 2. Also converted to Python 3, same result. Any idea ? Running on Rapian Jessie

I made a mistake the first time I tried to run the auth process, using the wrong IP address of my TV. This created an lgtv.json with the wrong IP and then when I reran auth, it seemed to use the file and I got lots of "no route to host" errors. I deleted the file and then auth ran perfectly.

Good day, would appreciate help installing your tool. The read me is not detailed enough; would this be correct:
-download zip
-apt-get install net-tools
-modify "lgtv-example.json" with your tv details
-./install.sh

thank you

Hi.

I would like to start the browser in fullscreen mode. This hobbyquaker/lgtv2#23 (comment) defines how to do it but I am not sure how to pass the similar command in LGWebOSRemote. Any pointers in the right direction will be appreciated.

Thanks :-)

#1 I just started with a brand new Ubuntu 16.04 VM and followed your instructions to perfectly. I am using Pythong 2.7.12. When executing python lgtv.py auth "IP Address," I am receiving this same error message. Can you point me in the correct direct in order to resolve it?

Hi Klattimer, thanks for providing this tool for us.
After the installation, I assume that I need to do a scan before I can use all the feature. However, when I try SCAN or ON function, I got an error from the python code. (I am new to HA and python...)

SyntaxError: from future imports must occur at the beginning of the file

N.B. my TV is LG 65FL6350, it is a WebOS 2.0 TV. I have set a static IP for the TV, and enabled the LG Connect APP feature from the setting.

Thanks a lot for this.

(venv)Laptop:amazon-alexa-lg-tv-master User$ python lgtv.py off
{"type": "response", "id": "0", "payload": {"returnValue": true}}

When running python lgtv.py off shortly after the TV turns on the command hangs at the statement above. It seems to be on the ws.connect() command.

This seems only seems to be an issue with the off command. When sending a 'notification', it hangs while the TV boots up, then delivers it successfully. However, if the 'off' is executed even 30 seconds after the TV has fully booted it hangs indefinitely.

Hi,
I tried this with my LG UF776V (latest updates installed) - worked flawlessly. You can add it to the list.
I did scan, auth, volup, voldown, open browser, open youtube - they all worked.

Thank you for this project 👍

Thanks a lot for your great work here.

It took me some time to get it up and running, possibly due to changes done to the code and not reflected in the examples (e.g. the devices do not show the necessity of the device name)

I would recommend to update the Readme.md to reflect this, like:

lgtv scan
lgtv off

etc.

When I issue a power on command, i get no feedback on the command line, and then command itself seems to fail. TV doesn't turn on. If I use the remote to turn on the set, I can shut off via lgtv.py, as well as all of the other controls.

Power On doesn't work however.

Thoughts?

menial task that needs to be done.

Hi there, thanks for your work! It is working great!

Hi have only one grief, I'm running it on an PI and I have a delay of 4 seconds before a command is executed. I wondering if it's normal or I can speed up things. thanks in advance.

As it says

How do you use the the notification command to send a sentence to the tv?

This works for one word:
lgtv.sh notification test
Or this: lgtv.sh notification test_test_test

Tried using quotes or double quotes. But it dont work when I use blank space or special characters, example åäö in my language.

Otherwise it works great! I think my lack of knowledge is the problem. Thanks.

Working fine :) (on Raspberry 3 B+)

Thanks !

Very nice tool, it's working well.
So as to set my channel, I need to use arrows such as left, right, up, down and click (ok) on my remote. Is it possible to add these buttons in this CLI tool?

I can do it my self, but I can't find some documentation about what is the command to send to the TV. Is there a doc somewhere? Would it be feasible?

Thanks
