Command to client to change to live tv guide?

[BillOatman 596]

Been looking through swagger for a while now.  What do I call to set a client to the live tv guide?

[Luke 42077]

Using the general command api, the command type would be Guide.

I looked for that, but the session info for my shield under supported commands didn't have Guide as one.

That will work for all clients?

It should work whenever it is listed as a supported command. If it's not then I would create a topic in the section of the community for that particular app.

@@ebr I tried to do the Guide command from swagger for my shield.  Looks like everything worked, except the shield did nothing.

This is what I got back for the shield session:

"PlayState": {
"CanSeek": false,
"IsPaused": false,
"IsMuted": false,
"RepeatMode": "RepeatNone"

Swagger seemed happy:

 

 

The Emby log seemed happy: (full log attached, this command is at the bottom)

But like I said, the shield client stayed at the home page.

 

I did notice that Guide is not listed under supported commands, is that causing it?  If so, shouldn't that command be supported? In fact there are very few commands in that list.

Thanks!
