New Samsung TV Not showing up with SSDP

[ekohn00]

Just got the TV and before I know I need to add it via SSDP but there's nothing in discovery.

I can ping it. Everything is on the same network.

It's a Samsung S90D.

anyway to force or search.

I tried adding the driver and added the MAC address, no luck.

thanks for any help.

did you enable IP Remote on the Samsung TV settings?  that's the first step.

I know exactly what youre talking about as I had to do that on another TV,  but I don't think this one has the option.

@chopedogg88 my bad, I did find It and its enabled now and it did pop up.

So because I S90D and drivers only go up to S90c, how can I add this?

ID via ip and reserve the IP

Not following....  I can easily use the IP but I can't add the SSDP found device because the driver doesn't exist.

I have the previous year's driver and can add it. If I do that and add the MAC address will it work? Do I just then ignore the discovered device?

I thought you ID via MAC, with IP work too?

Hire a control4 programmer who knows what they are doing.

Samsung doesn't do a good job keeping up with their driver naming in the database.  

You have a couple options. 

1.) Add a similar Samsung driver to the project and manually connect it via IP in the connections tab. 
2.) Modify the existing Samsung driver XML and repackage it with the new model name. Then when you add it via SSDP it will find the right driver name. 

#2 is a bit harder but works in scenarios like this.  I would go for option #1.

Thanks Dan. I was able to get it running right after I asked. I went with option #1 but was hesitant as I thought I was going to screw up the auto-discovery, not to mention I didn't realize you can use the IP@ instead of the MAC. Turned out to be easy.

I was thinking of doing #2, but as you said...a bit of a pain.

I appreciate the assist.
