Yamaha BD-A1040 IP control

[gimbers]

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has had any luck controlling a Yamaha BluRay player over IP. I have the control protocols from AWE that seem to suggest you need to write an HTTP POST section, then an xml section. Can't post full doc here as .xlsx not allowed as an attachment, but have added a screen shot of the control protocol. Not sure how to do it, or if it is even possible.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Ok, after more fiddling, it turns out that the power command in the example is not the power command for this particular player. Really helpful. If you just type the POST bit, adjust the length for the number of characters in the XML part that you will enter below, and the HOST to the IP address of the player, then leave a line and paste in a command from the command list on one line, it works fine! So Power On is"

POST /avctrl/ctrl.cgi HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-length: 142
HOST: 192.168.2.74

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><YAMAHA_AV cmd="PUT"><Main_Zone><Power_Control><Power>On</Power></Power_Control></Main_Zone></YAMAHA_AV>

Hope that helps someone...
