This works perfectly,

is there a full list of all these API commands in one of the docs?

https://www.video-storm.com/downloads/NetPlay_protocol.pdf

Just the section on "NetPlay Video virtual matrix command set"

The commands can be sent from our C4 driver command (which uses the TCP socket).  You can also send via http as:

Virtual matrix control via HTTP GET

http://ip_address/vm_request.php?cmd=PROTOCOLCMD

Note PROTOCOLCMD must be URL encoded properly

Thank you, some great options in here.  I'm setting up my overlay stuff and I'm a bit confused where I define the video OSD Overlay templates,  I have the option for "Video OSD Formats Config" in the Video Matrix Options but this looks like the legacy stuff.  Is there something else I should be looking at to define the new formats?

Video OSD formats is correct.  NetPlay Overlay uses the PIP command, so it also uses the Video OSD (ie PIP) formats.

If you are going to use a splashtiles cloud screen as an overlay in NetPlay, create a video osd format that covers the whole screen.  That way it works the same as the SplashTiles app (overlay Screen is considered full screen with user defined tiles & transparency regions).

New toy/tool for SplashTiles 

Notifications for SplashTiles   https://splash-tiles.com/help/androidnote.php

Automatically forward selected Android Phone notifications to your TV.

Just like our notifications from C4, except from your phone.  Best for texts, caller ID, or Cloud cams that don't play nice with automation.

Enjoy :)     And don't forget to let us know if you have suggestions.

Since we added a lot of notification methods, here is an info graphic that summaries current capabilities

  1. The text, images, or full html notification is pushed from a source to your secure SplashTiles Push Data storage
    • Android phone or Tablet via our Notifications for SplashTiles app (forwards selected Android notifications directly)
    • Sending a normal Text message from your phone to your custom TTS address
    • From your Home Automation controller using our free drivers
    • From IFTTT using our simple WebHooks commands
    • From Python / Curl using our simple WebHooks commands
  2. A SplashTiles Script (custom designed by you) is triggered to display your notification Screen (custom designed by you) on any or all of your connected display devices
    • Android TVs or Fire TVs running our SplashTiles app
    • Android streaming device or Fire Stick running our SplashTiles app
    • Any device with a web browser
  3. The notification Screen can either automatically dismiss after the set time limit, or be dismissed directly by the Back button.

For everyone who is interested in the Samsung version of overlays.....

It looks like TV models from 2018+ will be the target.  Just wanted to check if that covers most people or if there are a lot of 2017s out there that you really don't want to replace  (2016 and prior will definitely not work).
