doesnt work with new Philips TV

[blablazzz]

Cant get it working nor in http nor https with new 2024 Philips TV (PUS8959) with Titan OS. Any chances this could be fixed?

Unfortunately not, newer TVs don’t have the jointspace API that this component relies on. Sorry!

[blablazzz]

But home assistant integration works in the same way. Thought it could be same underneath.

Ah, ok. So your TV works ok with the HA integration? In which case can you tell me what you get when you navigate to http://IP_ADDRESS_OF_TV:1925/system in your browser?

Thanks. Can you explain in more detail where the error occurs? Does device registration complete successfully or do you get errors?

it says: successfully added, but then shows failed to initialise. No other errors.

Anything in the HA logs?

Can you navigate to http://YOUR_TV_IP:1925/6/ambilight/currentconfiguration in a browser and tell me if you get an output? If this works, try using the following commands in a terminal of your choice:

curl -k -s -X POST "http://YOUR_TV_IP:1925/6/ambilight/power" -d "{"power":"on"}"
curl -k -s -X POST "http://YOUR_TV_IP:1925/6/ambilight/power" -d "{"power":"off"}"

[blablazzz]

http://YOUR_TV_IP:1925/6/ambilight/currentconfiguration
i get:
Forbidden

[aegjoyce]

In which case can you try this using the username and password generated from the script?

curl -k -s --digest --user YOUR_PAIRED_USERNAME:YOUR_PAIRED_KEY -X POST "https://YOUR_TV_IP:1926/6/ambilight/power" -d "{"power":"off"}"

i am able to run the script, and it gives credentials, but also says invalid pin, but its 100% correct:

Attempting to pair
{'error_id': 'INVALID_PIN', 'error_text': 'Invalid authentication parameters'}
Username for subsequent calls is: WBrdtN3Fs3O5hN7Z
Password for subsequent calls is: 3z12pgzv3rhmyuzy

with these credentials addon doesnt work either. And everytime i i run command - credentials change.

Looking at the ha-philipsjs wrapper others have had issues with TitanOS not working properly, I think they are trying to work out where all the endpoints are.

Out of interest can you try:

http://YOUR_TV_IP:1925/1/ambilight/currentconfiguration

and

http://YOUR_TV_IP:1925/5/ambilight/currentconfiguration
