Listening Socket in Samsung Smart Tv

Question

I need to open a TCP socket on the Samsmung Smart TV, listening at a particular port for events from an IP camera in a local network. The camera does not have a "web server" so i cant use web sockets.

I've searched all over the net for terms like Node.js, Socket.io and I've got nothing but confused.

I stumbled on this project - websockify But i dont completely understand where and how to use it in the scenario of Samsmung Smart TV. Does anyone have a solution?

Answer 1

You cannot create listening socket on Samsung TV.

You can use Convergence API to communicate with application running on TV. See http://samsungdforum.com/Guide/art00027/index.html.
