Philips TV won't find Hue Emulator

[FezVrasta]

Hi! I know it's going to be hard to fix it, but I wanted to report that the Hue Emulator is not discovered by my Philips TV (with Ambilight+Hue capabilities).

My TV runs Android 4.2.2 (Google TV) and it's on the latest available firmware (AND1E.0.10.170.0). The model is 55PUS7909/12

The Hue app finds the Hue Emulator just fine and it works nicely.

Hmm, i have two different Philips tv's 6000 series, both discover the hue emulator and works ok. Can you insist a little bit with hue emulator discovery, maybe the tv did not catch the ssdp frames right away. In order to see what is happening at ssdp level you can start the script with sudo and provide the output.

[FezVrasta]

Just to make sure I'm doing it right. I should just go in the Ambilight+Hue settings and make it search for a new bridge right?

[mariusmotea]

Yes. Check if ssdp reply is send by hue emulator. You can also press the link button like you did to pair the phone

Umh I get some weird log when I start it.

especially weird is OSError: [Errno 98] Address already in use, I don't have anything else running on port 80

[mariusmotea]

If i'm not wrong you use deconz also? If yes, disable deconz ssdp service by editing systemd file and append --upnp=0.

[mariusmotea]

Check this dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin#274

[FezVrasta]

Thanks I tried that but I still get the same errors in the console 🤔

[mariusmotea]

sudo netstat -lnup to see exactry what service is using the port 1900/udp. Kill that process and it will work after.

[FezVrasta]

it was minissdpd, is it spawned by diyHue maybe?

Anyway, now the log is:

Ah, anyway now the TV found the bridge :-) thanks!

[mariusmotea]

ssdpd server is native build in diyhue, minissdpd may de a default package in raspbian or is a dependency for something you had installed.

[FezVrasta]

umh ok thanks!
