AVCoders.SignalR.SetTopBox

SignalR hub and bridge for set-top box remote control: remote buttons, power and active-source state. Part of the AV Coders device library. Targets .NET 8.0.

Install

dotnet add package AVCoders.SignalR.SetTopBox

Published to nuget.org. See the repository README for details.

What's inside

  • ISetTopBoxHub / SetTopBoxHub
  • SetTopBoxState - name, source id, supported buttons, power, desired power, active source and comms state
  • SetTopBoxUiSignalR - subscribes to a SetTopBoxManager and rebroadcasts state
  • SetTopBoxManager - wraps an AVCoders.MediaPlayer.MediaPlayer that implements ISetTopBox (for example AppleTvCec)

Contract

Hub path convention: /hubs/settopbox. UIs join a group by the manager's name, the same way as the source hub.

Client to server (SetTopBoxHub):

Method Notes
JoinGroup(string groupName) Same name and signature as SourceHub; pushes the current SetTopBoxState to the caller.
SendRemoteButton(string group, string button) button is a RemoteButton name, matched case-insensitively. Unknown or unsupported buttons are logged and dropped.
PowerOn(string group) / PowerOff(string group)
GetState(string group) Returns the current SetTopBoxState, or null for an unknown group.
GetGroups() Registered group names.

Server to client (ISetTopBoxHub):

Method Notes
UpdateSetTopBox(SetTopBoxState state) Sent on join and whenever power, desired power, comms or active-source state changes.

Commands are fire-and-forget: the hub returns as soon as the work is queued, and the new state comes back through UpdateSetTopBox.

Wire shape

SetTopBoxState is serialised by the SignalR JSON protocol with camelCase names and enums as integers (PowerState and CommunicationState from AVCoders.Core):

{
  "name": "Boardroom",
  "sourceId": "AppleTv",
  "supportedButtons": ["Enter", "Up", "Down", "Left", "Right", "Back", "Home", "Play", "Pause", "PowerOn", "PowerOff"],
  "powerState": 1,
  "desiredPowerState": 1,
  "isActiveSource": true,
  "communicationState": 1
}

sourceId is the SourceId of the matching entry in the source hub, so a panel can show a remote on that source's tile.

Usage

// Program / control-system startup
new SetTopBoxUiSignalR(new SetTopBoxManager(zoneName, appleTv, "AppleTv"), SignalRProgram.SetTopBoxHubContext!);

// Web host
app.MapHub<SetTopBoxHub>("/hubs/settopbox");

SetTopBoxManager throws ArgumentException if the device does not implement ISetTopBox. Active-source reporting comes from AppleTvCec.IsActiveSource; other drivers report false.
