Hi guys...
I want to integrate Nvidia shield with a home automation solution (Control 4) to automatically launch Netflix app on Shield. The idea is to execute a local script at shield that can launch the netflix app. Is it possible to run this remotelly using adb ? Is there any app for remote control tasks in android tv so it can launch an app ?
thanks
Ulysses
So I had the same idea yesterday but I am using a Logitech Harmony remote to execute the script, I am running into some problems myself but figured it was better to get the idea out there to see if anyone has figured it out.
So first off I have my Shield TV paired via bluetooth as a windows computer and not as a normal IR device (NVIDIA Game Console - NVIDIA SHIELD), the benefit to this is being able to execute additional keys which are otherwise not available via the IR mapping.
I am currently using the Universal Init.d app to create the following init.d script...
Code:
#! /system/bin/sh
service irnetflix /system/bin/irlauncher.sh
oneshot
disabled
keycodes 133
#! /system/bin/sh
echo started service irnetflix >> /storage/emulated/0/irlauncherlog.txt
keycode 133 being F3 on the window keyboard which is mapped to the red button on my harmony remote. The issue that I'm running into is that that script seems to load properly, but is not executing irlauncher.sh on keypress 133
This is a copy of irlauncher.sh
Code:
#! /system/bin/sh
su -c am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.netflix.ninja/.MainActivity
#! /system/bin/sh
echo executed >> /storage/emulated/0/irlauncherlog.txt
I can execute the irlauncher.sh fine from root explorer and it runs perfectly fine but like i said previously it doesn't seem to run on the keypress 133 as expected.
you can do it using the key mapping from the external keyboard helper however currently you loose access to the system OSKB though all apps I've tested are fine - more info and Credit to the Brandon Pines who found this workaround - https://plus.google.com/u/0/112377305542076314828/posts/Xg99z5aPakU

This is a neat solution to the problem, I hate the fact that I can't get this to work natively but it works well nontheless!

So other findings... If you map a key to the windows key it will open the voice search, if you plug in your shield controller into the shield and shut down using sleep1 the controller won't turn off. Still playing around with some other things to be able to keep most of the same functionality as i had with the gamepad.

I use the voice search in conjunction with an old pseye (I'm hoping this will work with the upcoming google assistant as well). I still would like a solution that doesn't disable the OSK though. I've emailed the Dev to see if there's anything they can suggest.

The fact that I cannot use my keyboard is slowly becoming quite annoying. I think i had a good start to the problem but IDK why it wouldn't work.

Hello fellow Android junkies and Mac users,
I've created a GUI for the Sixaxis Pair Tool script for the Mac. (If you can root your phone you probably know how to use the terminal too but who am I to judge? ) Anywho, I made it using basic AppleScript and a slightly modified version of Dancing Pixel Studio's C script. It's worked flawlessly so far. If you're curious to see how I coded it in AppleScript, just drag and drop that sucker into AppleScript Editor and it's all there. I also included my modified version of the original script inside of the app bundle. It's inside of '/Contents/Resources/Scripts/'. Enjoy! (Also if someone want's to design an icon for it feel free, I just didn't want to take anyone else's)
Instructions (Modified from the Dancing Pixel Studio's website):
First and foremost, these instructions are assuming you already have a rooted device with the "Sixaxis Controller" app installed.
This utility requires libusb, which can be obtained using these instructions from user "ThePlayer10" (Thanks for this!):

Plug in your PS3 Sixaxis Controller to your USB port.
Launch "Sixaxis Pair Tool" and set the MAC Address to that of your device. (Easily found in the "Sixaxis Controller" Android App on the bottom left)
Hit "Set" and that's it!
Unplug the controller and it should turn off. Then make sure you hit "Start" on the "Sixaxis Controller" app, then turn on the controller, and you should be paired.
:highfive:
Let me know if anyone is having any issues with it. I'm not a coding expert however, and I was only knowledgeable enough to put a basic GUI on a script. All unrelated issues pertaining to paring your PS3 controller to your device would be best asked elsewhere (I wouldn't be too helpful I'm sure :silly: ).

You're saying that after you update the mac address using the tool, it defaults back to the original address?

a bit outdated but I would just like to drop by and say thanks for such a helpful script. Exactly what I needed in every way. Bout to mash on some Geometry Wars
Despite a number of sesrches/instructions for turning Windows Defender off on a Surface 2 (Windows RT 8.1) I cannot get permission to turn it off? I am the admin (and only user).
Can this actually be disabled on Win RT 8.1?
Have you tried using the services manager? Even if the UI is missing / locked out within Defender itself, you can simply disable the service. Slightly more extreme option would be to rename the binary and/or modify its permissions to deny Execute rights.
One way or another, I guarantee you it's possible.

When I go into Services Manager>Windows Defender and right click the only choice I have is to view properties. Choices such as "Start, Stop...." are greyed out. I have no options to change the behavior of the Windows Defender service
The command-line tools "sc" and "net" offer additional ways to control services. You can also just edit the service configuration in the registry (that's where all service config is stored, and it's not *that* hard to edit) if necessary.

Thanks. Am I correct to assume the key is HKLM>Microsoft>Windows Defender> and the DWORD is DisableAntiSpyware. The current value is 0 so I would set the value to 1.
I figure that would stop the service.
That may well do it, but I was talking about disabling the NT service itself (relevant registry key is HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WinDefend) by changing the Start value to 4 (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/103000/en-us).

Yes, I found that - good suggestion BUT no matter what I do regedit will not let me change the value!
I am running as administrator (the built-in one - not under my user name) but try as I might, I am unable to get control. So I can't seem to get any elevated privileges and thus cannot change services.
Are you aware of any change in Windows 8.1 RT on a Surface 2 that no longer allow these types changes? Somehow I'm not understanding how to take control of my Surface 2.
Yes you can

If you are using 3 rd party security softwares like antivirus or spyware. Windows defender will be automatically turned off or its done by the third party app.
Or manually... Open start windows defender. Click tools then options. Click administrator. Then uncheck the use this program and click save... Done

Hi,
First, thanks for all the development and trials with the firetv.
I can't say that I've done much more so far than follow directions and add some functionality to the device.
I did install the droidmote server which runs pretty good but cannot control all aspects of the device in default config. That's another post I think.
What I was asking about was the audio delay when using Bluetooth headphones. I side loaded the settings apk and gained the ability to pair BT headphones. Just a generic set from amazon here. They work pretty good but there is a delay in the audio. I can somewhat fix this with xbmc videos through audio delay, but Netflix and instant video don't have this fix. Any ideas on what I can do to get it all in sync?
Thanks
Glad to hear that DroidMote also works on Fire Tv.
Since the application is highly configurable and customizable, I can give you some help ?
The first part of this page is important, when you start the server for the first time, make sure that all configurations files are installed well.
http://www.videomap.it/dmcguide.htm
Absolutely. Thank you the app. It works pretty good, but I have to switch between all the inputs to maneuver around on the fire TV. Some screens I can use the mouse functions, but others I need to move to the arrow keys. The center select button doesn't seem to work though for selecting items on the second input screen of droidmote client.
I'm hoping to play around and see if I can configure the inputs to operate on the main firetv screen. The launcher seems different than my other TV stick android launchers.
Once again, thanks for your development. I look forward to more here on the fire TV.

Thanks to you.
If the center select button not work, make sure to have this files after the first start of the server.
In your FireTv:
droidmote.kl in /data/system/devices/keylayout
droidmote.kcm in /data/system/devices/keychars
droidmote.idc in /data/system/devices/idc
droidmotemt.idc in /data/system/devices/idc
droidmotegt.idc in /data/system/devices/idc
If you have this files it should works.
Instead if you want try to made a custom keylayout, get the droidmote.kl in /data/system/devices/keylayout
copy it where you want (also on your pc ) for edit and customization.
rename and put it in the Download folder of your device.
go in server settings and load your new keylayout.
With the multitouch functionality and with the touchmouse you can play with all games that need a touchscreen.
i suggest also to install the last version 3.3.9 from google play. This have most recent keylayout compatible also with Android Preview L that introduce little changes in the keylayout stuff.

I've been trying to get this working for the last couple of hours. The center button doesn't work for me no matter what I do. When I use the video game mode, the A button acts like the center button should. I tried to customize the droidmote.kl to change key 232 to BUTTON_A. It saved but it didn't work. Any ideas?

Make sure that you load your new custom keylayout from server settings "change keylayout" and select it from the list.
your new keylayout appear in the list if you copy it in the Download folder of your sdcard.
a keylayout to work must have same file permissions of the previous version for this reason i suggest to load from server settings that do all automatically.
disconnect and reconnect the client to apply changes.
If this process not work only when you remap the center button ( scan code 232 ), mean that the source code of your FireTv was changed compared to original Android and the scan code 232 is remapped directly inside the sourcecode to act as different action and can't be remapped. ( very bad practise, infact in Android there are keylayout to support different mapping for external input devices. this is possible if you have a remote control that have an ok button that act as mouse left click.)
but you can always use the BUTTON_A of the soft gamepad like a center button. (rare case, because you have the mouse functionality to click and move around )
If you test the server on an Original Android device you see that the center button works well without remap it, because is a simple ENTER keycode.
Let me know if the center button really can't be remapped with the keylayout. I can also made a little modification to support the bad implementation of firetv.
UPDATE:
In a few hours, try the new Client version 3.7.9 and restore the Server to original keylayout configuration.
( Server settings -> change keylayout -> Default. disconnect reconnect client to apply changes )
I swapped the scan code 232 to 28 to help FireTv.
Because this change does not create any problem to the Server for Android, for Windows, and for all Linux variants.

Thanks for your test.
Now that you have DroidMote on FireTv, should be able to use also any standard Android launcher. In Fact with DroidMote you can do all multi-touch actions and use any apps designed for phones or tablet without restrictions on your FireTv.
( also multi-touch games with hardware controller )
Let me know what you can not do.... i can help you.
Install DroidMote Server
Hi,
I do have the bought version from Play Store of Droidmote Server. How can I sideload it on Fire TV? I did that but it says my license is invalid.
Install the play store app and sign in. That's the only way I've seen access for licensing that I have seen.
If you don't have the play store installed, there are quite a few how-tos shown.
How do you get the droidmote server onto the FireTV?

It sounds like you may not have all the play store support installed. Look at this link for play store install to make sure all steps are taken.
I would also install es file explorer as there is really decent support there for installing/managing/launching apps and general file management.

Greetings, newbie question here. My goal is to modify a Amazon Fire TV device to run a single game (Fibbage) at startup. I wanted to place the device in a youth rec center (out of reach of the kids) and have them join/access the game by using their own mobile device(s). I would like the kids to access to the game without use of the remote control. I plan to also give them the ability to reset the game by installing a power/reset toggle button near the TV to reset the system/game with a single push.
The goal is to have the device automatically load this game by default each time the system is restarted. If I needed to periodically update/change the game I would like that ability by using the remote control to access the admin menu.
Is this at all possible? Think of the poor children... :angel:

Probably llama would be the easiest. There is documentation on the XBMC Wiki for using Llama to autostart.

How is that possible without pairing the 2 devices? Or are you going to pair their phones before hand?
Pairing phones

Actually, the game hosts a game portal on the web that syncs with he game session. Kids can join by either scanning in a screen q-code or by typing in a 5 digit code provided by the portal. Very cool stuff!
Llama sounds promising. So is there a link that will take me through the actual rooting path using llama? I know I sound like a twit, but I am completely lost with all the different flavors and steps.
I am very grateful, thanks!

There is a Fire TV page on the XBMC wiki that talks about it.

Okay, so I made a bit of progress:
a. Installed the FTV utility for Windows.
b. Rooted Fire TV - disabled updates.
c. Installed SBMC
d. Installed Llama
e. Set Llama profiles and conditions to start SBMC automatically (If day = MON-SUN)
Current Issues:
1. I can't seem to call the Fire TV game from the Llama list of applications to auto-launch (it defaults to android apps, not FireTv apps). It seems like there is a d-mark between the android apps I side-load and the applications that are purchased for the unit.
2. Now that I have root access, are there native Fire TV commands that I can run to auto-start the game at startup? Similar tot he disable updates command.
This is getting interesting. Thanks!
Hi folks,
I'm the owner of an M8 and one of the things that made my decision to go with the phone was the remote control app.
I've never used the EPG function and just went with TV provider not listed to get access to just the remote functionality. Now they've stopped us from doing that, just to add a new room or remote.
Here's what I want to ask the forum. With the tools that we have as a community, we're able to unpack and modify Android apps. What I want to do is remove the area/post code part of the setup and drop users into adding a remote/room and it just be an app that just does the remote function alone
1, is this a worthwhile endeavour?
2, what are the legal aspects of this?
3, would I be able to post it on here as well as on Google Play?
I would like to release it on Play for other users to use, but that could get me into some legal issues unless I remove all references to HTC, but that is immoral and I'm not keen on that idea. Please reply with any ideas on how I should go about this. Am I able to do anything on the back of them abandoning it?
Mods: I'm not sure if this is in the right place, so please move it if required.
If it's free, u could always post it in the apps & games section of XDA.

You'd probably get more feedback once people check it out...just a thought.

why not just use many of the free or paid compatible smart remote applications? anymote being my favorite.
