Communicate with the XBONE server

[rgbkrk]

Figure out how to discover and connect to the pip boy server on the XBONE.

Looking at the presence of the smartglasss SDK in the APK, I'm going to guess its use is in speaking with the xbox.

[rgbkrk]

That makes sense.

Is there a smartglass SDK available for node?

@rgbkrk I've got an open source SmartGlass client project out now. (https://github.com/joelday/DarkId.SmartGlass) Just added support for opening the TCP channel. Currently the command line tool will open the port on localhost and act as a relay.

dotnet run connect [xbox console ip]

Then, in the REPL, with Fallout 4's title id and (optionally) a custom local relay port:

titlechannel 1256782258 --port 27000

[rgbkrk]

Nice!

@rgbkrk Updated the above instructions a bit. I'll try out the library with this today.

[rgbkrk]

Fantastic! I haven't touched this library (or Fallout 4) in a long time and I don't have an Xbox so I'll guide as best as I can with aging knowledge about the project. The RxJS fundamentals here though I could probably touch up. 😄

@rgbkrk Just tested it out. Everything works via my relay socket. :)

[rgbkrk]

Nice! Does it function roughly like the PC or PS4 sockets for UDP discovery and TCP packets with your relay?

[joelday]

@rgbkrk When relayed, it's exactly the same as connecting to TCP 27000. There's no UDP discovery being broadcast.
