Apologies if this is answered somewhere but I can’t seem to find it.
I have been running my DirecTV off HR500’s for a very long time and I’m now upgrading to Genie 2 w/ Genie Mini’s.
Does the built-in DirecTV integration support the Genie command structure (where the client address is within the command string)?
If not, I assume I can create a custom plugin that would do it, just would like to avoid having to do that.
Thanks!
Search the web for
DTV manual DTV-MD-0058. It has the commands I’ve been using. They use post, so I’m sure there is a way through the genie to a mini address. Each mini has its own IP.
Richard,
Thanks, I’ll dig through that. Are you saying you have a setup working with the Genie?
Here’s an example of what I can see for the “Guide” command.
The IP Command string for normal STB’s is 192.168.1.XX:8080/remote/processKey?key=guide (where the IP is the IP of the individual STB)
The IP Command when using Genie w/ the Mini’s seems to be 192.168.1.XX:8080/remote/processKey?key=guide&clientAddr= (where the IP is the IP of the Genie and is the MAC of the Mini)
So I think it should be fairly straightforward to build a new IP Control plugin utilizing that structure but I wonder if it’s been done already.
Wish I could give you more, but I just use the genie in my main living room
