MP80 Network Communications Protocol
Command Structure
Local MP80 network control
MP80 Network Control:
The MP80 is controlled with simple text network commands using TCP/IP. The commands are sent to
the player’s TCP/IP server on the command port.
Files are sent to the player using an “easy to implement” TCP/IP based p
rotocol.
Players can be found on a local network by using a UDP broadcast command.
The following ports are used by MP80:
12889: TCP/IP command port
12881: TCP/IP send file port
12885: player search port (UDP broadcast)
Example of a typical MP80 command (all ASCII Text):
qsCommand:PLAY_FILE(typeIndex,filename)
Play file of given type.
typeIndex = file type index =
HTML(1),
IMAGE(2),
MUSIC(3),
PLAYLIST(4),
VIDEO(5);
filename = name of file
qsCommand:PLAY_FILE(4,Play List 3)
qsCommand:PLAY_FILE(5,07_BB_TradeIn.mp4)
Commands return a simple “OK” for success, “INVALID” for bad command, or “ERROR” if error occurs.
Note: A simple method to test commands is to use Packet Sender to send commands to the player.
