Purpose of this program is to control Samsung TVs over IPv4 from command-line. Tested on Samsung 460UTn.
It was written without access to documentation, so I based it on data sniffed using wireshark and original MDC
software provided by Samsung. Therefore, there still may be a lot of things missing or just not working properly.
----------------------
1. How to compile
----------------------
Whole program consist of only one source file, so I didn't prepare any makefile.
It depends on STL and pthreads.
To complile, you can use following command:
g++ -Wall -O2 cmdc.cpp -o cmdc -lpthread
----------------------
2. Configuration file
----------------------
Configuration has to be stored in file named 'cmdc.conf' and placed in the same directory as executable binary.
Syntax of this file is pretty simple. Program expects line that consist of the following parameters:
Name - text describing one entry
ID - number, that you set-up on your monitor
IP - IPv4 address
WallH - horizontal wall size
WallV - vertical wall size
WallP - position in the wall, starting with 1 as top left and increasing first horizontally, then vertically
Lines beginning with '#' will be treated as comments and ignored.
Example (wall 3x3):
a1 1 192.168.1.11 3 3 1
a2 2 192.168.1.12 3 3 2
a3 3 192.168.1.13 3 3 3
a4 4 192.168.1.14 3 3 4
a5 5 192.168.1.15 3 3 5
a6 6 192.168.1.16 3 3 6
a7 7 192.168.1.17 3 3 7
a8 8 192.168.1.18 3 3 8
a9 9 192.168.1.19 3 3 9
Example (wall 2x2):
b1 1 192.168.1.21 2 2 1
b2 2 192.168.1.22 2 2 2
b3 3 192.168.1.23 2 2 3
b4 4 192.168.1.24 2 2 4
These two walls can be placed in one configuration file. In fact, all monitors are treated as standalone ones, with
each line describing all their parameters.
