For much time I thought that the “dayparting” function it’s used to command the unrooted device(android) to shut down the display and start it up.
It’s there another “dayparting” used to make an ON/OFF schedule of the monitor and also to Android Player?
User Story

same as #1
It’s not possible for us to send those commands on an Android device. The DSCS9 has built in to its firmware the ability to send CEC commands to power on and off the attached display.
You telling me I can’t command to a android device SOC like BDL4330QL/00 | Philips from CMD to shutdown the display at all?
I can restart this device, why I can’t shut down the display?
What I’m saying is Xibo for Android can run commands and it can fire intents. The device needs to support receiving those and acting on them.
So for a DSCS9, it has as part of its firmware a listener that listens for a command from Xibo for Android and causes the hardware in the DSCS9 to send a CEC command to turn the attached screen on or off.
I expect Philips will have a command or intent that can be used to turn the backlight on or off on a SoC device, but I don’t have that information to hand. We’ll try and find out, but you might ask your local Philips support directly how that’s done and then you can configure Xibo to send the intent or command as required.
Those commands are designed to be sent from a remote machine over the network rather than from the device itself. You’d need to ask Philips how they can be run from the device itself, or for an alternative (such as in intent) to control the backlight.
We’ve opened an issue with Philips to see if they can tell us, and if they come back with anything I’ll update here.
You already have the LED controls for philips devices. I assume those working over the network too because I am getting socket closed errors on tpv | led commands on xibo logs. And while xibo led commands not working, I can’t send any other network commands too. Therefore any other command then “tpv | led” for philips devices should be very similar?
Could you point out at what part those commands/intents are in the xibo code?
You need to be using a device that has those LEDs for those commands to work. The display you mention above doesn’t have them.
As I’ve mentioned we’ve opened a case with Philips to see if this is possible, and I will update when they respond. Until then there’s nothing further I can do for you.
Will all be supported in the 2R215 release onwards.
tpv|screenoff and tpv|screenon are for the 2016 model 10BDL3051T only. For other models, you’ll want to use tpv|backlightoff and tpv|backlighton to turn the screen backlight on and off.
