Indigo Domotics

This script had been working fine til I had to swap out my DirecTV box.

Code: Select all

#! /usr/bin/env python2.5
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import simplejson
import urllib2

DTVIP = "192.168.1.53"
url = "http://%s:8080/tv/getTuned?" % DTVIP
f = urllib2.urlopen(url)
simplejson_string = f.read()
f.close()
parsed_simplejson = simplejson.loads(simplejson_string)

try:
   programTitle = parsed_simplejson['title']
   indigo.variable.updateValue(1708209973, programTitle)
except:
   indigo.variable.updateValue(1708209973, " ")
try:
   majorCh = str(parsed_simplejson['major'])
   indigo.variable.updateValue(564695813, majorCh)
except:
   indigo.variable.updateValue(564695813, " ")

It's showing this error in the log.

All the other commands using the plugin are working fine.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Carl

Did the IP address of the box change?

It did, but I changed it back to the one I had setup in Indigo.
As I mentioned, all the other commands using the plugin work just fine.

Maybe the port changed? Thing is I don't see anywhere in the DTV setup to set a port number.

Thanks,

Carl

I'm confused. You're talking about the DirecTV plugin, but this script is talking to the DTV box directly, not using any plugin.

That makes two of us. I believe it was a few years ago that Matt or Jay helped write that bit of code for me.
Hoping they might recall how it worked.

Thanks,

Carl

You said you changed out the receiver? Same or different model? Maybe the "getTuned" command isn't available on the new box.

Open a browser window and try this url: "http:/192.168.1.53:8080/tv/getTuned?" What do you get back?

Doh. Got it working by setting the "current channel" setting to "allow" an external connection.

Technically, this thread shouldn't be under this plugin's forum since it's not about the plugin, but since they're related I'll leave it here. I don't recall anything about this script, but I also don't recall much about this plugin. I haven't had DIRECTV in quite a long time so I don't have occasion to deal with it (which is why we open sourced it).

When things break after replacing hardware, it's usually a good idea to look closely at the replacement hardware as the most likely source of the issue.
