Expected Behavior

Within a mediaPlayer clicking the Next icon should move to the next track Similarly clicking Previous icon should move to the previous track (Pause and Play work as PlayPauseType input is accepted)

Now that I checked the code and tested the media player feature, I can see that something is missing in the code, the state of the channels mediaPlayer and mediaStop is never updated. As an example, when PLAY command is pushed by the user and you receive a positive feedback, you should update the state of these 2 channels accordingly. I will try to improove that.

@sprehn: Thank you for getting back to me and indeed for all your work on the lgwebos binding.

I am self-isolating due to the coronavirus at the moment and set myself a project to get to grips with openHAB to control my entertainment system. It is proving to be a most enjoyable way to isolate 😃

Option A Any pointers as to how to implement ssap within my project?

Option B I have tried TV_Player.sendCommand( RIGHT ) from inside a rule called “skip” It generates this error 2020-04-03 23:40:14.540 [ERROR] [ntime.internal.engine.RuleEngineImpl] - Rule 'skip': The name 'RIGHT' cannot be resolved to an item or type

But… For the PLEX app on my webOSTV TV_RCButton.sendCommand("RIGHT") via a rcButton channel works 😃

Thanks for the pointer.
