I'm going to use this Thread to judge interest for a plugin to control C/D series of Samsung TVs. This plug-in makes use of an App that runs on your TV, I believe comes standard with it. It only emulates how your remote controller works so it is uni-directional to your TV, no feedback from your TV.
Post your comments on this thread, it may get its own thread in the future but for time being, this is its home.

Decided to split Remote functions from DLNA Manager functions. If you installed the UPNPInstall ... files, go to Windows/ Control Panel and uninstall the plugin.

If you don't like the plug-in, use the regular SW Uninstall feature from Windows.

Changes to beta v06
- Added Events
- Fixed error causing HS to crash when the TCP/IP connection was refused or closed
- Added a button for Internet
- Buttons are now configurable via an .ini file but all functions aren't there yet. You can find the remotecontrol.ini file in the <hsroot>\html\SamsungRemote\RemoteControl. More to follow in next beta
Changes to beta v05
- The TCP/IP connection for the remote wasn't automatically re-established when the TV was power off/on or an error in the socket happened
Changes to beta v04
- It appears that not all Samsung TVs support the urn:samsung.com:serviceId:TestRCRService service as part of device urn:samsung.com:device:RemoteControlReceiver:1. As a result, no HS devices are being created. The plugin now by default creates a remote control device when the UPNP subsystem detects the urn:samsung.com:device:RemoteControlReceiver:1 device. This might also be on BluRays
Changes to beta v03
- Keys for Vol +/- and Channel +/- were wrong
Changes to beta v02
- Packaged up wrong file. If you installed version one, REMOVE v01 first
Decided to split Remote functions from DLNA Manager functions. If you installed the UPNPInstall ... files, go to Windows/ Control Panel and uninstall the plugin.
New Remote only plugin Beta v 01 posted here
- Install plugin and go to the setup page to activate the plugin
- Plug-in will now discover Samsung devices, note the remote is (likely) only to work on C-series and D-series, definitely nothing prior
- New devices will be discovered each 10 minutes and devices on-line/off-line in 10 seconds
- If you want to use the remote or message service, go to the device setup page and click on "on"
- If you want to have the text sent to the speaker client by other plugins or via your own created events, go to the "Samsung config" page and make sure you activate the "speaker Proxy" flag. Don't forget to hit save
- Please provide feedback. Currently no help but functions are pretty simple
Changes for beta v03
- If you used prior versions, you might want to delete all the devices this plug-in created, stop HS, delete the UPnPController.ini file and start HS again
- Plug-in will now discover every UPnP Device but only add rendering, controlling devices.
- added more buttons. Now have buttons to set source like HDMI, AV ... Also added a Poweroff button which seems to work. There are probably another 50 or so keys that I'm not sure worth adding
- rewriting the ping mechanism ... too many ... too many failing. Should be good now. New devices will be discovered each 10 minutes and devices on-line/off-line in 10 seconds
- began adding functions to extract track info out of Content devices. Next step to use it to drive Media renderers
- if you turn the debug flag on, there might be a ton of logging in an attempt to "learn" other devices. Send me log files with errors and warnings in them when you create databases or while UPnP devices are changing state
Changed to beta v02
- Autodiscovery should now work. New devices are discovered only every 10 minutes. Once the device is discovered and added the the HS database, if it is off-line when HS starts up ... and it's IP address hasn't changed, it will be discovered within 10 seconds of being available on line
- Added an option to discover and log all UPNP device info on your LAN. Go to the UPNP config page and hit the "Search UPnP Devices" button. It will take 10 ~15 seconds but after that, a number of files should be created in the <hs root>\html\UPnPController\SearchResults directory. Zip all those files in one .zip file and email it to me. It contains your IP addresses and uuids so don't go post it here.
If you don't like the plug-in, use the regular SW Uninstall feature from Windows.
Have fun
