I’m having trouble getting WebOS to report on playing state, which perhaps is not possible. I’d like to have the lights dim up or down depending on various factors including whether the TV is playing video, say in a streaming app like Netflix etc. Trouble is, I can’t see a way of getting this info from the WebOS binding. I can get things like current channel or current app, and can even control playback using the mediaPlayer channel, but this channel is write only, and no others provide a report on playing state.
Seems like a simple task but I can’t see a way around it currently. If it helps, the TV is connected to a SONOS Beam with Alexa enabled, both of which are connected via their respecive bindings. I’ve explored using these to somehow detect the playing state of the connected TV to no avail. Wondering if anyone else has got something similar working.
