[200] List of remote commands?

[sirfergy]

I'm planning to write an app that would enable me to select and play media for my PCH, and was wondering if there is a list of known commands it responds to on port 30000?

Have a look here : http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...?tid=30168

Awesome thanks. If I want to also get the library info is that something thats documented?

Which library do you refer to?

[sirfergy]

What I want to do is be able to browse the music/video/pictures on the PCH, or that the PCH has access to. In my case all my content is on the network.

I've seen the Android and iPhone apps that I think do that but I don't have either of those phones.

Listing content (and adding VOD attributes etc.) is doable with basic PHP. Check out some CSI apps for inspiration.

There are ways to get the URL's to Network Shares too, I think the latest use case was for the NMJ Remote Administration, check the NMT Wiki!

There is also the official SDK/API, which I recall has some features you are looking for:

if you signup at developer.popbox.com you can get the whole doc which lets you do a lot more than press some remote buttons..

[sirfergy]

Thanks accident. I did that, and have definitely made further progress. Do you have any hints how to access files on the PCH? I've been able to access the movie library, and can play movies but I want to display the thumbnail that the metadata references.

[accident]

don't know what the api can offer, I don't touch the nmj data..

you can probably work out of the box and use the built in webserver on port 8883 to get to them, should be old wiki info on running cgi scripts via gaya, just a matter of adjusting the url to be the url for the image.

99% of pch development is breaking the rules with no help from syabas.

[sirfergy]

My understanding is 8883 is blocked for remote access, and I was hoping to write an app that didn't require installing anything on the PCH. Is it possible to open 8883 for remote access?

[accident]

It's not blocked but it may not answer generic requests.. you'll need to format the url correctly.. did you even check the wiki for the cgi notes and adjust the url to the image your trying to get?

[sirfergy]

I searched the wiki and tried, but maybe I'm doing it wrong. I have a network share on my PCH called Movies, which resides on a computer called SERVER.

Here are the URLs I tried:
http://192.168.0.99:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/M...mbnail.jpg
http://192.168.0.99:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/S...mbnail.jpg
http://192.168.0.99:8883/NETWORK_SHARE/S...mbnail.jpg
http://192.168.0.99:8883/[NETWORK_SHARE]SERVER::Movies:thumbnail.jpg

All returned a 404.

[accident]

the url your calling from the local host is localhost.drives the webserver on 8883 is changing what your calling based on localhost vs localhost.drives vs others.. so you need to mimic the http 1.1 behavior and have your request for the image talk to the 192.168.0.99 but send in the heading that your actually going to localhost.drives and not the ip address. A quick test is to add localhost.drives to your hosts file and you'll see the image work.
