Received a new message: b'{"volumeSteps": 10, "operation": "AdjustVolume", "endpointid": "43:e7:70:11:8d :a2"}' from topic: speaker/a355a5c5-15c7-4d95-954e-eed21f77ff15 -------------- Failed to send message to TV: [Errno 111] Connection refused

Keep getting this error when trying to put the volume up on my tv, via alexa.

Mac Address and IP seem to be inputed correctly.

My tv model is a LT32E390S.

After installation I tried to change volume_step_size from 10 to 2 as:
volume_step_size = 2

After I changed it to 2 and register againand start it, it still changing the vulome by 10.

The website to register doesn't load. I tried Safari, Firefox and Chrome on my Mac and Chromium on the pi.

Would it be possible make a custom command witch do a series of keypress
like "NetFlix" as hotword and being translated in my case into "SMART MENU",
"RIGHT BUTTON", "RIGHT BUTTON", "ENTER".

Hey i get the below when scanning for my tv its a 2019 qled

The website shoots back error 500 when trying to sign up for a new account. every time I try to go to the website all I can get is error 500. Any way to contact the host?

Hey there - got this running on a computer on my local network, works well with my MU6300 - it's great and I plan to add to its list of commands when I have time. Does this have to be running on the same local network as the TV, or is it possible to run it on a webserver? If running it on a webserver is not currently possible, do you think that enhancements to the code could enable or, or is there some blockage that will ever prevent that?

The (python3 alexasmartcli.py scan) command says there are no TVs found. However the TV is connected to the same network as my laptop and echo. I would like to know if the TV model is unsupported or else.
I am using a Chromebook with a Linux terminal if that matters.

seems to have installed Ok but when I issue an instruction to Alexa I get this in terminal, for example:

Received a new message:

Failed to send message to TV: No module named 'websocket'

Where should websocket be?

python3 alexasmartcli.py scan returns: "No TVs found"
My TV is connected via Ethernet cable
Any ideas?

It seems like some TVs needs a ID number to be send or it will ask for authorization every time.

Sorry very new to this, don't really know what this means.
Thanks

When I try and change the channel to 103. I can see the request correctly but on the TV it changes to channel 13:

I have to say change channel to 1003 to get it to then change correctly to 103 on the TV:

I'm not sure whether you are still maintaining https://alexasmarttv.dev/login but there is an error on the login;

We're sorry, but something went wrong.
If you are the application owner check the logs for more information.

Sorry new to this. When i run the alexasmartcli.py it won't run. When i run it in python i get the following.
%Run alexasmartcli.py

Is it possible for you to release the server side code for the alexa skill? I'm interested in setting it up on my own local server

Is there/or could there be a UK skill for this?

Every time a request is sent via Alexa to the Samsung TV (UN65MU800D the TV displays a notification stating the following "samsungctl -- Your permission is required to connect your device to this TV" and I can click "allow" or "deny." I click "allow" and it adds it to the allow list, and still the command/request is not executed. In the external device manager on the Samsung TV I have tried to set the notification setting to "first time only" and "always on" but neither options works. The notification occurs after every command/request from Alexa to the TV, and on top of that even after clicking allow the command doesn't execute.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

This is information received in command prompt after the command is requested.

Hello,
I’m having problem. When i make all setting up on my raspberry everything works well, but in a minute on alexasmarttv.tk both TVs gets ofline and alexa doesn’t responding. Any ideas?

As a fellow developer I'm asking what the issue is with J series?
As a user, great work, not so difficult to setup. I wish it worked with J series.

Any progress on this subject?

Hi

Just setting this up...

All good until I register my device (alexasmartcli.py register) - it comes back with 'item not found'.

TVConfig.py is updated with the details from the scan, and I'm logged in to alexasmarttv.tk successfully?

Hi, completely new to pi and coding but bought one specifically to run this app. I hade issues on the first install, ended up loading again, same issue. I am sure from reading the other issues first it was a DNS issue, but not knowing what DNS really was and trying to change it unsuccessfully led to me having to install raspbian again. Another reload and another fault. The only difference I did during install was being unable to work out how to change values with vim as they came up in red and all I seemed to be able to do was delete them, so I ended up changing the tvconfig.py file in a text editor if this makes any difference? Here is my error message linked below, if it is a DNS issue a heads up on what to change where would be appreciated as I followed a few different guides before and ended up not getting any connection to wifi/Ethernet in the end, thanks, allan

Every time Alexa sends a request to the TV through samsungctl, the command line shows "WARNING:root:Waiting for authorization..." and the TV shows a message asking to approve of the connection with samsungctl. This lasts for about one second and then the command line displays "Failed to send message to TV: timed out". If I quickly press enter on the TV remote to allow the connection, then the command works, but this ruins the point of the skill, which is of course to not have to use the remote. The Allshare settings say that connections with samsungctl are allowed but it still asks for every request. What can I do to make it permanently allow the connection so that the skill will work properly?

I was able to create an account a few days back but now the website is not working. I get either a blank page or it forwards to what looks like a malware site.

Hi,
The server looks like is working on my RBPI but nothing is happening to my TV when i send commands to Alexa.
