Can't switch inputs

[gary-kirk]

I'm trying to control two Sony Bravia TVs. Both Model XBR-65X800H. Every command works with the exception of changing the external inputs. I keep getting a warning saying ILLEGAL ARGUMENT.

Any thoughts?

I am also having this same issue. Hoping for a solution soon.

I wrote this module but no longer have access to a Bravia to debug. If one of you wants to reach out to me via email, maybe we could set up a screen sharing session to figure it out. My email is on my
Profile.

I was able to do the following in the HTTP module for Companion and make the Inputs change. Hopefully this helps with your troubleshooting if not let me know and I will reach out via email to setup screenshare.

Thank you for your help!!

POST COMMAND
URL: http://IP-HERE/sony/avContent

Body(JSON): {"method": "setPlayContent","params": [ {"uri": "extInput:hdmi?port=1"}],"id": 101,"version": "1.0"}
#change port above from 1 to the HDMI port that you want to change to.

Header: {"Accept": "/", "Cache-Control": "no-cache", "Connection": "close", "Pragma": "no-cache", "X-Auth-PSK": "KEY-HERE", "Content-Type": "application/json"}

Here is an example of the Body JSON that the module currently makes:

{
  method: 'setPlayContent',
  version: '1.0',
  id: 1,
  params: [ { uri: 'extInput:hdmi?port=1' } ]
}

Other than the object property orders being different, these look the same to me. How important is the id being 101?

I changed my id to 1 and it still worked. I would be glad to do a screenshare if that would help. I will send you an email.
