Not working with RX-V6A/TSR-700 receiver

[borski]

Hi! For some reason, rxv doesn't seem to work with the RX-V6A receiver. Is this a known issue?

[wuub]

Does it work w/ the official app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yamaha.av.avcontroller&hl=en&gl=US?

[borski]

Yes, works without an issue using the Yamaha app

[wuub]

I assume you've tried to set it up in Home Assistant.

Can you try:

1. Checking if discovery works

import rxv
rxv.ssdp.discover()

2. Checking if manual control works

import rxv
r = http://192.168.1.xxx:80/YamahaRemoteControl/ctrl
r.basic_status

[borski]

It does not, and visiting /YamahaRemoteControl/ctrl in a browser returns a 400 Bad Request :(

When I hit http://192.168.1.xxx:49154/MediaRenderer/desc.xml it spits out the following possibly relevant xml (snipped for relevancy)

<yamaha:X_device>
<yamaha:X_URLBase>http://192.168.1.xxx:80/</yamaha:X_URLBase>
<yamaha:X_serviceList>
<yamaha:X_service>
<yamaha:X_specType>urn:schemas-yamaha-com:service:X_YamahaRemoteControl:1</yamaha:X_specType>
<yamaha:X_controlURL>/YamahaRemoteControl/ctrl</yamaha:X_controlURL>
</yamaha:X_service>
<yamaha:X_service>
<yamaha:X_specType>urn:schemas-yamaha-com:service:X_YamahaExtendedControl:1</yamaha:X_specType>
<yamaha:X_yxcControlURL>/YamahaExtendedControl/v1/</yamaha:X_yxcControlURL>
<yamaha:X_yxcVersion>0945 </yamaha:X_yxcVersion>
</yamaha:X_service>
</yamaha:X_serviceList>
</yamaha:X_device>

and heading to http://192.168.1.xxx/YamahaExtendedControl/v1/ gets me a 200 with the following JSON response:

{"response_code":3}

No idea what this means or if it's helpful, but figured it might be?

[wuub]

It looks like the receiver is using the same control mechanism and it will be possible to solve this.

Please try the 2nd way of manually instantiating rxv object, it should work (at least partially)

If so, we can then work on testing why SSDP discovery is broken

[borski]

Oh, it does actually work! It didn't previously but it seems to be now!

>>> import rxv
>>> r = rxv.RXV("http://192.168.1.xxx:80/YamahaRemoteControl/ctrl", "RX-V6A")
>>> r.basic_status
BasicStatus(on='Standby', volume=-33.0, mute='Off', input='HDMI2')

SSDP discovery doesn't work:

>>> rxv.ssdp.discover()
[]

I've also had issues with discovery. When there are multiple network interfaces the discovery packets seem to go out the first interface only. @borski do you have multiple network interfaces in the computer that you're testing on?

If that's the issue, it can be solved by sending discovery requests on each interface. Something like this:
https://github.com/pavoni/pywemo/blob/e375e12f4901461b02ceb08feb5c02a766c560ee/pywemo/ssdp.py#L299

[borski]

Yes, but the raspi doesn't, unless I'm mistaken? aka Home Assistant should be able to do the discovery just fine.

[borski]

@esev I made the change, locally, to force it try each interface; that isn't the issue. Good thought, though!

[wuub]

Can you look if discovery is working

pip install --user ssdpy
ssdpy-discover -o 20 ssdp:all

and check if the IP of your receiver comes up.

I have the same receiver and the same problems with discovery in HA. I tried discovery via ssdpy-discover and it showed up:

{'cache-control': 'max-age=1800',
 'content-length': '0',
 'ext': '',
 'location': 'http://192.168.1.101:49154/MediaRenderer/desc.xml',
 'server': 'Linux/3.2 UPnP/1.0 Network_Module/1.0 (RX-V6A)',
 'st': 'urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:RenderingControl:1',
 'usn': 'uuid:9ab0c000-f668-11de-9976-ccd42e2282a6::urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:RenderingControl:1'}

Don't know if that helps!
