Description
Enables querying devices which are able to switch inputs.
Media inputs can have dynamic names per device that represent audio or video feeds. These feeds can be hardwired or networked, but they should be named and reasonably persistent. This does not support arbitrary ephemeral feeds, such as a searchable networked library. Paired, named Bluetooth sources are supported. Sources can have multiple names, so user-created and discovered names are supported, as well as default names; for example, 'hdmi_1'might also be 'DVD player,' or 'usb_1' might also be 'Hard drive'.
Media inputs can be ordered to support 'next' and 'previous' commands.
