Sony BluRay Protocol (BDP-BX59)?

John Gonzales

A client picked up a Sony BDP-BX59 BluRay player at Costco or some big-box store. Does anyone know if this is controllable by IP and if there's a protocol document anywhere? I need to write a module for it.
Thanks!
John

I'm guessing it is IP controllable... I think I found the protocol here in case anyone else needs it:

So now the fun begins

Update:
I didn't get a chance to test network controls on this device, so I just tossed IR control on it until I have access to the device.

Here's the IR control info if anyone needs a simple way to control this BDP or similar. The code below assumes you've aligned your TP channels with the IR channels. The irl file (SONY0593.IRL) is in the AMX database.
