carealtor Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Hoping someone here has the knowledge I need! I've been playing around the last couple days with Postman and the ISY's Network Resources to try and do some controlling of my Sony UBP-X800 DVD player. What I can find from Sony on the interwebs is really only applicable to receivers and soundbars (or so they say). Sony API Reference But I know the X800 is capable of at least some (if not a lot) of control via APIs and I ran "getSupportedApiInfo" and got that list. I've managed to turn the X800 off and on, but I'm stuck beyond that. Ultimately, what I'm wanting to do is start the Pandora app, but for this discussion it could be any downloaded app that I have on the X800. That is to say, I'm not trying to play or control a DVD, at least not at this time. If I could directly start an app, that would be great. I can also start an app using cursor controls if I have to, as this is what I'm currently doing via my Harmony Elite and Hub. I ran "http://192.168.1.xxx:50202/appslist" and I see Pandora in this list, if that is of any help. <app> <id>com.sony.iptv.5836</id> <- This seems like it might be something helpful <name>Pandora ®</name> <supportAction> <action>start</action> </supportAction> <icon_url> http://static.internet.sony.tv/bivl-ww/static/service/icons/service_396/x133.png </icon_url> </app> The 2 APIs that I got from "getSupportedApiInfo" that look promising are "setPlayContent" and maybe "presetBroadcastStation". The X800 says it supports them, but I can't figure out the exact syntax to run them (in Postman) without getting an error. My best guess is that I need to use the "uri:" parameter, but I can't find any examples of what to use for the X800.
