Panasonic Blu-ray Player Binding

This binding connects Panasonic Blu-ray players from 2011/2012 and UHD Blu-ray players from 2018 to openHAB.

Supported Blu-ray models: DMP-BDT110, DMP-BDT210, DMP-BDT310, DMP-BDT120, DMP-BDT220, DMP-BDT320, DMP-BBT01 & DMP-BDT500.

Supported UHD models: DP-UB420/424, DP-UB820/824 & DP-UB9000/9004.

Please note: The player must be on the same IP subnet as the openHAB server for this binding to function. If the connection to the player originates from a different subnet, 404 response errors are sent in response to all requests.

To enable network remote control of the Blu-ray model players, configure the following settings:

• Player Settings/Network/Network Settings/Remote Device Settings

Then make sure you have the following values set:

• Remote Device Operation: On
• Registration Type: Automatic

For the UHD models, Voice Control must be enabled for the player's http interface to be active:

• Player Settings/Network/Voice Control: On

To enable the binding to control the player while off (network active while off), Quick Start mode must be On as follows:

• Player Settings/System/Quick Start: On

UHD Model Command Authentication:

The UHD models require authentication to use the control API. A player key must be specified in the thing configuration in order for the power, button and control channels to work.

UHD model players that are patched do not require a player key. See the AVForums discussions of the DP-UB420/820/9000 players for more information.

Supported Things

There are two supported thing types, which represent either a BD player or a UHD player. A supported Blu-ray player uses the bd-player id and a supported UHD Blu-ray player uses the uhd-player id. Multiple Things can be added if more than one player is to be controlled.

Discovery

Auto-discovery is supported if the player can be located on the local network using UPnP. Otherwise the thing must be manually added.

Binding Configuration

The binding has no configuration options, all configuration is done at Thing level.

Thing Configuration

The Thing has a few configuration parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default	Required
hostName	text	The host name or IP address of the player.	N/A	yes
refresh	integer	Overrides the refresh interval of the player status. Minimum interval is 5 seconds.	5	no
playerKey	text	For UHD models, to enable authentication of control commands, a key for the player must be specified.	N/A	no

Some notes:

• The control protocol of these players is undocumented and may not work consistently in all situations
• The UHD models only support playback elapsed time (not title total time or chapter information) reporting
• The time and chapter information is only available when playing a Blu-ray disc (not DVD or CD)
• There are reports in forum postings that not all commands work on all of the older models (i.e.: Power does not work on DMP-BDT110)
• Not all status information is available from all BD models (i.e.: playback elapsed time not reported by some models)

Channels

The following channels are available:

Channel ID	Item Type	Read/Write	Description
power	Switch	RW	Turn the power for the player ON or OFF.
button	String	W	Sends a command to the player. See lists of available commands in Appendix A below.
control	Player	RW	Control Playback e.g. Play/Pause/Next/Previous/FForward/Rewind.
player-status	String	R	The player status i.e.: Power Off, Tray Open, Stopped, Playback, Pause Playback, etc.
time-elapsed	Number:Time	R	The total number of seconds of playback time elapsed.
time-total	Number:Time	R	The total length of the current playing title in seconds. Not on UHD models.
chapter-current	Number	R	The current chapter number. Not on UHD models.
