Channel changing on Mini
jradwan opened this issue · comments
The SETCH command doesn't work on the TiVo Mini, you have to use IRCODE instead.
Ex. instead of just:
SETCH1008
you need to send
IRCODE NUM1
IRCODE NUM0
IRCODE NUM0
IRCODE NUM8
So some extra logic would be needed in order to "translate" the user's text/speech request into the multiple IRCODE commands.
Use AMAZON.NUMBER slot type to convert spoken number into digits? Then split the resulting string one digit/character at a time to create the IRCODE command macro.
I was also looking at the
AMAZON.TelevisionChannel
Names and abbreviations for television channels.
Examples:
◾abc
◾cartoon network
◾cnn
◾espn 2
◾nbc
This slot type can be used with skills in the following languages:
◾English (US)
That will definitely be handy for adding the ability to change channels by name.
