Hi Raymond,

here some examples from my HS-"Web-Seiten/IP-Geräten" menu (field "URL"):

Brightness:
/admin/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?f=display_brightness_active&brightness=7 &apply=yes

Favorites:
/admin/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?f=favorites&n=../favorites.html&a=p&i=6


Volume:
/admin/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?f=volume_set&v=15&n=../now_playing_frame.html

Text: (the § works fine when sent by the HS)
/admin/cgi-bin/ipc_send?show_list Hello World§Line 2§Line 3

Display Time: (here you have to send 'Datenblöcke')
see Pic.

some commands (brightness and show_clock) are issued by a HTTP_POST, which means the data is sent as it is done when you send an HTML form and not like calling an URL as you try.

Point taken !

you have to do the correct encoding of the URL, which means instead of an § you have to specify %A7.

OK. I've blindly used the examples from the thread, not really knowing what I'm doing (heck, as usual ). Normally, I RTFM, but here ? no FM ;-)
Nevertheless, it doesn't work, probably for the reason you mentionned.

favorites URL should be: (e.g. switching to favourite 6)
http:/<IP>//admin/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?f=favorites&n=../favorites.html&a=p&i=6

This one works fine, thanks

Text Display
try the correct encoding of all special characters as mentioned above.

No luck, let's forget it

Volume:
Your URL is correct and for me it works up to v=20 which is the maximum volume.

This one works fine, thanks

Set Brightness
it will not work by calling an URL.

Indeed, although I swear it was working with the previous FW.

But the HS is able to generate POST commands, therefore I think it will work with the HS.

OK, the reason I'm testing with the Explorer is to avoid the 36 reboots of the HS

Hope, I could help you a little bit.

You helped a lot, thank you a 1024 times

Hi Taxus,

Thank you for the concrete examples

here some examples from my HS-"Web-Seiten/IP-Geräten" menu (field "URL"): .

Are you making a difference between http get & posts ? or does one type fit them all in the HS ?

Thank you

[Warichet]

Hi Taxus,

So far, I'm able to control the following with my HS: Volume, Favorits.

here some examples from my HS-"Web-Seiten/IP-Geräten" menu (field "URL"):

Brightness:
/admin/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?f=display_brightness_active&brightness=7 &apply=yes

Brightness seems to be a problem, any hint ?
I noticed some samples with apply=yes other with apply=Verwenden. It seems there is a language dependance here. According to the status, my MP is in french, so I tried apply=oui, but pfff, no luck.
Can you confirm that the brightness is set from within the -"Web-Seiten/IP-Geräten" menu ?

Thank you

PS: in your sample, there seems to be a space between the "7" and "&apply". Is it so ?

PS: in your sample, there seems to be a space between the &quot;7&quot; and &quot;&apply&quot;. Is it so ?

Hi Warichet I can answer: no space in URL's

[Warichet]

Hi,

Anyone knows de correct syntax for supplying the credentials in the URL ?
The

http://<username>:<password>@<IP>/ad...ipc_sendxxxxxx

does not work when typed in the command line of IE8. I thought I've been using this some time ago, and it was working.

NB: When supplying the credentials in the "Web-Seiten/IP-Geräten" menu, it does work, of course.

Thnak you

[mredeker]

The new version of IE has blocked this kind of syntax.
You can try another browser instead.

[Warichet]

Hi,

I've read and understood Jonofe's arguments about http_get and http_post.
I've read and understood Taxus's samples.
I'm still confused
Under -"Web-Seiten/IP-Geräten", I can't see any place where I could specify the method either http_get or http_post.

There is like a contradiction, unless there is something to specify outside the scope of "Web-Seiten/IP-Geräten" ?

The 2 commands which I'm unable to execute are the brigthness and text display, exactly as mentionned by Jonofe.

Any hint about how to make them run on the HS, please ?

[Bodo]

... Under -"Web-Seiten/IP-Geräten", I can't see any place where I could specify the method either http_get or http_post.

Hi Warichet

If your "Message" is sent within the URL it is GET.

Example:

http://www.ip.com/script?v=100&r=200

[Warichet]

I've read and understood Jonofe's arguments about http_get and http_post.
I've read and understood Taxus's samples.

Well, no, I failed to look into the sample for the clock (I wasn't interested in the clock)
I guess the answer is there, it clearly mentions the HTTP_POST

Nevertheless, it brings yet some other questions
1) about Authorization, I guess it is: username space password in clear text ?, no special characters ?
Authorization: <Username> <Password>
2) about Length, how can I compute the length ? starting from where ?

Thank you

[NilsS]

1) about Authorization, I guess it is: username space password in clear text ?, no special characters ?
Authorization: <Username> <Password>

Use a base64encode Baustein in GLE and encode
usernamE:Password to base64 and put it

Authorization: base64encodedUserPass

[Warichet]

Hi Nils,

Use a base64encode Baustein in GLE and encode
usernamE:Password to base64 and put it
Authorization: base64encodedUserPass

Pfiou, completely missed this problematic.
Thank you very much for the tip.

About the length, did you notice it's written 21, I count 22 characters
If it was an index, I could assume it is starting from 0, but here ? shouldn't it be an absolute value for the length ?

[NilsS]

Yes you are right it should Be 22

[Warichet]

Yes you are right it should Be 22

Well, after some testing, it must be 21 (22 doesn't work)
It beats me!

I managed to get the clock display working .... after setting the MusicPal language to ... german (I'm unable to find the keywords for french).
The example from Taxus must be entered exactly as shown.

Still trying to change the brightness and display some text ........

[jonofe]

I managed to get the clock display working .... after setting the MusicPal language to ... german (I'm unable to find the keywords for french).

in French it should be apply=Afficher+horloge


Concerning brightness you should try the template from taxus and change the POST URL and the last enty as follows. Please replace the "x" with the brightness you want to set.

brightness clock:
POST /admin/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?f=display_brightness_clock&n=../display_brightness_clock.html
brightness=x

bightness activity
POST /admin/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?f=display_brightness_active&n=../display_brightness_active.html
brightness=x

brightness sleep timer
POST /admin/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?f=display_brightness_sleep_timer&n=../display_brightness_sleep_timer.html
brightness=x

brightness standby mode
POST /admin/cgi-bin/admin.cgi?f=display_brightness_sleeping&n=../display_brightness_sleeping.html
brightness=x


hope it works ...
