More TV features controllable over jointSPACE!!!

If you own a 2k11 model (xxPFL5xx6 to xxPFL9xx6), you can now use HTTP JSON queries to do more with the TV.
Among the new features supported:

- Channels list download and channel selection
- Sources list download and source selection
- Audio parameters control
- Ambilight control
- Read out system parameters
- Send basic RC commands

To test all this, use DirectFB voodoo discovery (or the TV menu) to identify the IP address of the TV and then simply connect to: http://ip-address:1925 using your favorite web browsers.
The JSON API documentation is available on the TV.
You can also run few examples directly on the TV:
Ambilight control: http://ip-address:1925/1/examples/ambilight/ambilight.html
Audio control: http://ip-address:1925/1/examples/audio/volume.html

You can also browse the JSON API documentation here

Have a lot of fun and don't forget to inform us about your interresting applications that we can host for you on this web site!!
