# Panasonic Blu-ray Player Binding
This binding connects Panasonic Blu-ray players from 2011/2012 and UHD Blu-ray players from 2018 to openHAB. Supported Blu-ray models: DMP-BDT110, DMP-BDT210, DMP-BDT310, DMP-BDT120, DMP-BDT220, DMP-BDT320, DMP-BBT01 & DMP-BDT500. Supported UHD models: DP-UB420/424, DP-UB820/824 & DP-UB9000/9004.
Please note: The player must be on the same IP subnet as the openHAB server for this binding to function. If the connection to the player originates from a different subnet, 404 response errors are sent in response to all requests.
To enable network remote control of the Blu-ray model players, configure the following settings: Player Settings/Network/Network Settings/Remote Device Settings Then make sure you have the following values set: Remote Device Operation: On Registration Type: Automatic
For the UHD models, Voice Control must be enabled for the player's http interface to be active: Player Settings/Network/Voice Control: On
To enable the binding to control the player while off (network active while off), Quick Start mode must be On as follows: Player Settings/System/Quick Start: On
UHD Model Command Authentication:
The UHD models require authentication to use the control API.
A player key must be specified in the thing configuration in order for the power
, button
and control
channels to work.
UHD model players that are patched do not require a player key.
See the AVForums discussions (opens new window) of the DP-UB420/820/9000 players for more information.
# Supported Things
There are two supported thing types, which represent either a BD player or a UHD player.
A supported Blu-ray player uses the bd-player
id and a supported UHD Blu-ray player uses the uhd-player
id.
Multiple Things can be added if more than one player is to be controlled.
# Discovery
Auto-discovery is supported if the player can be located on the local network using UPnP. Otherwise the thing must be manually added.
# Binding Configuration
The binding has no configuration options, all configuration is done at Thing level.
# Thing Configuration
The Thing has a few configuration parameters:
Name | Type | Description | Default | Required |
---|---|---|---|---|
hostName | text | The host name or IP address of the player. | N/A | yes |
refresh | integer | Overrides the refresh interval of the player status. Minimum interval is 5 seconds. | 5 | no |
playerKey | text | For UHD models, to enable authentication of control commands, a key for the player must be specified. | N/A | no |
Some notes:
- The control protocol of these players is undocumented and may not work consistently in all situations
- The UHD models only support playback elapsed time (not title total time or chapter information) reporting
- The time and chapter information is only available when playing a Blu-ray disc (not DVD or CD)
- There are reports in forum postings that not all commands work on all of the older models (i.e.: Power does not work on DMP-BDT110)
- Not all status information is available from all BD models (i.e.: playback elapsed time not reported by some models)
