samtvcli is a network CLI remote for Samsung TVs from 2014-2015
(I think those are models H & J).
You can use it to send keys with the command line or use its basic text user interface in a console.
You can also use samtv as a Golang library and build your own application.
I have tested it with a Samsung UE48JU6000 TV.
Check the Release page for some pre-built binaries.
To install the application from source, just type:
go get -u github.com/McKael/samtv/samtvcli
and you should be able to run samtvcli.
Alternatively, if you use Go v1.11+, you can use go module support:
git clone https://github.com/McKael/samtv
cd samtv/samtvcli
go build
Get online help with samtvcli help.
Instead of providing IP and session information on the command line for each
invocation, you can create a YAML configuration file (expected by default at
$HOME/.config/samtvcli/keybindings.yaml). There is a sample
configuration file in the repository.
To pair the application with the television, run
% samtvcli pair # This should display the PIN page on TV
% samtvcli pair --pin CODE
Once paired, a basic text user interface can be used:
% samtvcli tui
The text user interface keybindings can be customized with a YAML configuration file.
You can also use the command line and send several keys at once:
% samtvcli key send KEY_MENU _ KEY_RETURN KEY_VOLUP
Use the help command (or the generated manpages
for details).
