Change TV Source and get the current volume level

[Renato Riolino]

Is it possible to change the TV to a specific source (ex: HDM1)? Another question: Is it possible to get the current volume level? I can set volume up or down by injecting the respective keys via jointSPACE, but how can I know what is the current volume level?

Thanks

Not sure if you can switch to a specific source using Jointspace through DirectFB.
In jslibrc_types.h, there is an enum {..., amLib_ACT_WatchExt, ...} amLib_EnumActivityId.
Maybe you can use this?
Also not sure if you can query the volume level through Jointspace/DirectFB.

But if you have a 2k11 model or newer, have a look at Jointspace through JSON:
http://jointspace.sourceforge.net/projectdata/documentation/jasonApi/1/doc/API.html

Using JSON, you can get and set both source and volume level.

And it's also much easier to use than through DirectFB :-)

Have fun,
Matthias

Unfortunately my tv (42pfl7007g - that is a 2k12 model!) doesn't have JSON available. If I open port 1925 of it, there is a web server running in there, but if I try to get any of the examples URL I get a 404 from it.

Looks like philips forgot to upload the content of the webserver on it.

I have already updated to latest firmware but still no JSON for me :(
