Text Send

Legacy 2nd gen Apple TV
1

I have been working on a Crestron module for a while now. It is pretty robust and has a decent amount of functionality

including transports as well as shortcut keys and meta data parsing.

One thing i think is missing to make this complete it the ability to send text to the ATV like the AirControl app does.

Can anyone share the protocol for sending text to the search field. It has to be possible if the app can do it.

 

Thanks

<ATV IP ADDRESS>/enterText=YourText

I got it.

I built a keyboard into my module so i can search for content or use for the browser.

Direct text entry in working perfect.

Did you use the /enterText method or did you find something else that works?

I did use the /enterText method. I had to format it a bit different to use with Crestron but it works pretty good.
