tvlabs connect

Connecting to a live session for Development​

Use tvlabs connect to establish a secure SSH tunnel to a TV Labs device:

tvlabs connect

Active sessions will appear once you're connected. Select a session with enter and use the arrow keys for multiple active sessions.

cli-sessions Figure 1: List of active sessions. Your session will show up here, once you create a new session and succesfully connect to a device. You can create a new session here.

cli-status Figure 2: Once the session shows up, select it with enter, which will then show a status screen.

How it works​

When you run tvlabs connect the CLI will connect to the TV Labs platform via WebSocket to receive live updates about sessions. Once a session starts, it appears in the CLI. After selecting a session the CLI creates a secure SSH tunnel into our network and maps local ports directly to the ports of the target device.

For example, if you are used to connecting to your local device 192.168.10.235 this will change to 127.0.0.1 (localhost):

192.168.10.235:26101 -> 127.0.0.1:26101
