TV not turning on despite reporting so #68

KnifeWrench · 2024-12-31T00:18:25Z

Using a 2024 MacBook Pro MacOS Sequoia with the lid closes (similar behavior with lid open). When it goes to sleep, this works beautifully. Trying to wake it on the other hand is less successful. According to the logs when the lid is open the TV turns back on, sets the hdmi input and switches it to pc mode, however the the TV does not actually turn on.

Same behavior with the lid closed apart from the logs are a bit more honest.

Lid open:

Did you enable Wake on LAN as mentioned here? This might be your issue.

KnifeWrench · 2025-01-12T00:11:20Z

Yup followed the readme initially, but obvs double checked. Both wake on LAN and the mobile one are on.

Debugging the script I could see that when lid was closed lgtv_is_connected() was returning false as soon as the the machine and tv entered sleep. I had wifi and lan both connected. Disconnecting wifi fixed this (for the most part, would still sometimes disconnect) meaning it was now behaving the same lid open or closed. Not the actual issue but nice.

Also in lgtv_exec_command I think you need to have if rc == 0 instead of if rc == nil . Think it may be hiding the timeouts.

PylotLight · 2025-01-17T01:24:24Z

This is also happening for me, I was previously using the windows app which worked fine for turning off and on.
Now using this mac version, turn off seems to work fine, but it does not turn on, despite the logs suggesting that it is.

Can you try running the command directly from the terminal to see if there's a hint?

cmer · 2025-01-17T04:45:34Z

Try installing the new version. I improved logging a little bit.

@PylotLight Looks like the TV is rejecting the request. See: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/i-m-trying-to-turn-on-and-off-fuEMHdyLR6SgnHJLD4ICIg

I just pushed out a pretty big update which should hopefully resolve these issues. Let me know!

PylotLight · 2025-01-18T07:34:58Z

Ok sweet it does look like thats improved.

The screen turns on as requested
However, I'm noticing the off functionality isn't working.. it's going to no signal instead of turning off, which is not super ideal.

I know it's possible to turn off and fully turn on again, while I am on wireless and I can test wired, it should also be possible with wireless as windows worked fine.

What TV are you using? I have a C2. Mine works as expected. I'm on a desktop Mac though. Previously Mac Studio, now Mac Mini. I wonder if we're on a different firmware.

FYI I changed power_off to screen_off to fix the policy error.

I fixed the "log spam".

I have a C4

Will test later

I fixed the "log spam".

Thanks!

Thanks again for your work on this one, good to make sure there's a solution for this on all platforms :D

PylotLight · 2025-01-19T23:27:35Z

hmm yep, looks like I can currently choose between auto screen off, or auto screen on but not both.
I'm certain it worked via windows version so curious why the script fails for the same thing. Might try look at the Windows version to compare at some point.
While it might be a wifi/lan thing here, the windows version worked fine with wifi as well, so it 'should' be possible. See how we go.
Cheers for your efforts for now.

cmer · 2025-02-04T14:58:49Z

What WebOS version are you on?

PylotLight · 2025-02-04T15:17:27Z

webOS24 / 9.2.2.2-1805 (latest)

cmer · 2025-02-04T15:26:46Z

My C2 doesn't seem to have webOS24 available. I'm still on 23. Everything works well for me.

PylotLight · 2025-02-04T23:53:17Z

what difference does that make?
Should be basically the same controls no?
Anything I should test/check from my side to see if something has changed?
