    Hi all,

    I'm new to this forum and was very excited one hour ago to be able to play with the TV API. Sadly, things are not as they should be.

    What i can say so far :

    • i have access to the REST API:
        http 192.168.0.90:1925/1/system
    {
        "country": "France", 
        "menulanguage": "French", 
        "model": "55PFL8008K/12", 
        "name": "Tele", 
        "serialnumber": ".......", 
        "softwareversion": "QF2EU-0.171.56.0"
    }

    • i can POST on volume API and see changes on volume value/mute status on the TV

    • i can GET ambilight cached data (zero everywhere) or GET processed / measured values (non zero values)

    • i can POST the mode to be manual (pixels are turning off), and check that the new mode is ok with a GET

    • BUT, if i try to POST new pixels values into the cached :
      . the reply is an HTTP 200 "<html><head>Ok</head><body>Ok</body></html>"
      . pixels are not changed
      . A GET on /cached still returns zeros.

    To confirm the problem :
    - i have access to the demo page http://...ip...:1925/1/examples/ambilight/ambilight.html
    but JS code seems buggy, and anyway changes are not being reflected to the TV ambilight pixels.
    - no changes with the code found on https://sourceforge.net/p/jointspace/discussion/1020525/thread/25677a55/ : code is executing but no changes on TV.

    Any idea ?
    Tx for help
    Pascal.

      It appeared that after some firmware release, i was able to make it work without any change on my side. Let's hope this is permanent.

      And since then, as said in another post, i could build a cool library to pilot the Ambilight leds : https://github.com/pascalif/AmbilightParty
