Firstly, sorry for anyone waiting for updates - I don't get much time at the moment, so this is the first time in ages I've tried to do any more on this.
I've just had another go now and it looks like they've changed the system slightly at Panasonic, presumably with a recent firmware update.
What seems to happen now is that when you "slurp" home-screen.js, it downloads a poxy little thing that just want to update, rather than the full "proper" page that the TV gets. The next time you load and it serves that page, it tries to update.
I've found that if you use the same user agent as the TV uses when downloading home-screen.js (monitor useragent log in Squid) then it downloads the "proper" home-screen.js. Any other user agent and it downloads the phoney update version!
Not sure if this is a ploy to stop us amending it, or just the way it now figures out whether updates are required, but at least it's easily solved.

Is it possible to ssh into the TV?
ReplyDeleteno, it doesn't run an ssh service.
ReplyDeleteIs there an SDK for Viera Cast? LG, Samsung, Yahoo and others all have a formal SDK program.
ReplyDeleteI assume Viera Cast has one too, but I am not able to find a link about it. Please advise.
I noticed this and had to do some fiddling too, I assumed at the time it was because I'd broken something else, glad to know it wasn't just me!

ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to test Skype with ANY cam, not only the Panasonic one.
ReplyDeleteAny idea?
Ah, great! I stumbled upon this blog by accident, and I'm very glad I did - it's fantastic that Panasonic have made it so easy to get into ;)
ReplyDeleteHopefully this will remain under-the-radar so Panasonic don't add SSL oslt (which would really screw us over, at least, until we can get into the firmware updates ;))

poLuz i can help you for this, you need first to debug the connection protocol of the TV u better to use Proxy located in network tap on your TV, in your computer witch host a proxy with debug log file u could read tons of things here is an example:-
ReplyDeleteGET http://asia.vieracast.tv/data/home-screen.js HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: *-- here will be the code, copy it --*
Host: asia.vieracast.tv
Accept: */*
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive
Accept-Charset: utf-8
it allows you to fetch the data you want from http://asia.vieracast.tv
in somehow it seems mr customvieracast is dead blog
so if someone wanan use my exp and others exp better to host a forum witch get more ppl to hack this "pussy cast" lol
i got tons of topics that could help us to have fun with our tvs feature!
