Sony Bravia HTTP API

The sony bravia has a HTTP API interacted with using a Pre-Shared key. There's a more complex auth flow but I've not described it here.

There wasn't any documentation, so I've written some. If you're a TV integrator don't read this, you'll laugh. I'm probably just getting confused by UPnP.

Disclaimer: I've only tested this on my TV, which is a KDL-50W829B. Your TV might not have all of the services; see Available services section for how to discover what your TV supports.

How to use custom Datadog metrics on Google App Engine

Installation

We will use the dogapi module to instrument your code. There are a lot of ways to ship libraries to Google App Engine using virtualenvs, symlinks, etc. If you already have that, just add to your stack the latest version of dogapi from PyPi.

If not, here is an easy way to use dogapi:

cd $MY_GAE_PROJECT

Install OS X 10.10 Yosemite in VirtualBox

Due to the high usage of this guide and the lack of comfort in Gist's commenting area, I decided to make a blog post out of this which you can find here:

This is a little trick I use to spin up the packages instalation on Debian/Ubuntu boxes in Vagrant.

I add a simple function that checks if a directory named something similar to ~/.vagrant.d/cache/apt/opscode-ubuntu-12.04/partial (it may have another path in Windows or MacOS) and create the directory if it doesn't already exist.

def local_cache(basebox_name)
  cache_dir = Vagrant::Environment.new.home_path.join('cache', 'apt', basebox_name)
  partial_dir = cache_dir.join('partial')
  partial_dir.mkdir unless partial_dir.exist?
