Samsung TV IP Control - How to long press select?

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anybody knows how to long press select (in order to bring up context menu on YouTube to add to watch later without having to go into the video). Also the Gear / 123 / Colors quick menu button, but this is less important.

If someone has this working on their Samsung TV with IP control, let me know what model and driver you are using.

The model TV I have is QN65QN85CAFXZA, this as well as all the other drivers I have found seem to be controlling the TV over port 1516 with jsonrpc, however the TV also listens on port 8002 which is another IP control port using web sockets, I got a python script which worked to send a long press, but I cannot find a control4 IP driver that uses this 8002 port for control and I can not find much info on the port 1516 for sending a press / release, only sending messages like "remoteKeyControl", {remoteKey = "dash"}

If anyone happens to know how to search drivers by modified date / sort by modified date let me know as well, I cant find any modified before 2019 (I am hoping to find a driver that uses the 8002 port for control)

SmartThings also seems to be able to push and hold as well as the quick menu button, but I have to figure out a way of capturing the communications while decrypting the SSL to reverse engineer whichever protocol smart things is using, I haven't run a cable to mirror the tv port to get a packet capture of the smart things traffic, so it may not even be encrypted, but I would think it is as the other 2 control connections are...

Thanks,

Greg
