Cursor support work started, bug finding, twine submission.

[klattimer]

I'm not sure how discussions work yet, but I thought I'd give them a go and see whether contributors all get notifications and build a functional community group.

Cursor support

In order to make cursor support work correctly, I've added cursor.py and modified remote.py to include a new method "sendEnterKey". It's been a very long time since I worked on this, and I currently don't use it very often, or anywhere near the complexity level some other folks have reached. So I'm hoping one of our contributors is interested in picking this up from bug #66

In theory it's not very difficult, the shim in place should be enough to get rolling with it. If I can find the time, I may have a go myself.

Twine submission

Twine appears to be a requirement for home assistant to start using this library, and I imagine others too, so I'm going to try and get this unblocked. It appears there was an lgtv project in the past which was removed, and that left some cache behind which I believe has been cleared now.

I'll try and get this done after I've done a round of testing myself.

Bugs

People have submitted a lot of issues in the past, sometimes with PRs attached and I'm really grateful that others contribute to the project. There are some issues which I think need dealing with some have issues already, some don't.

• Command line interface should have a --output_format which can switch between human and json formats, it should default to human.
• The command line interface needs to have an interpreter - especially when cursor support is added, such that scripts with #!/usr/bin/lgtv can execute commands without repeatedly opening and closing the socket.
  • This requires a send command method which is working with an open socket.
• Command line interaction should always exit, even if a timeout is required - I believe this has been an issue in the past and may come up again. I'd like to ensure that things aren't left dangling.
