alanchow Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 MAJOR UPDATE Version #20180228- 28-FEB-2018 ⦁ Added Auto Room Off after x amount of minutes of silence. This is good for automatically turning the room off if nothing has been playing after a prolonged period of time. Version #20180227- 27-FEB-2018 ⦁ Changed Play/Play/Stop buttons to be more unified ⦁ Changed room off sequence ⦁ Implemented Auto Room On based on if audio is detected. This is great for Chromecast, Spotify Connect, Youtube, Plex, etc) ⦁ Added ON proxy command which sends a IRUSB wake command. Should assist in waking the screen on some boxes.

eded9698 Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 How do I find the info to use the custom mini app? I want to launch the live channels app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbell Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I have this working. Essentially I use the HDHomeRun mini app and changed the App intent. My Android App intent is:Com.silicondust.view#Intent;component=com.silicondust.view/.MediaCodecPlayer;endWorks perfectly launching live channels instead of HDHomeRun directly. And.... with the latest update the guide button is properly mapped, so I’m extremely happy.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I'm having trouble on a couple different projects with the Amazon Prime mini driver. Can someone share an intent string that works with Prime Video on the Shield? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbell Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Here’s what I have:Com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom#Intent;component=com.amazon.amazonvideo.livingroom/com.amazon.ignition.IgnitionActivityo;?;endo;?It seems pretty crazy but it works on every shield I have. And I have five of them. Hope if works outSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cbell Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 May not be. However, it is working. I’d gladly revise if you have another syntax you’d like me to try. But... it is currently working for me.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bharris Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I'm trying to see if there is a way to do a long select press. Can't see anything in programming. I'm trying to get context menu in kodi, thanks. C4loso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4loso Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hoping to get the intent strings Kodi if someone has it? The one I have doesn’t directly launch Kodi, it just takes it to the Nvidia shield home page. Same as Netflix.

We don't have long press yet. If you are using our Kodi Full driver (which has the IRUSB protocol built in) then you can map the context button.

Wushi Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi @alanchow I've been using this driver for a while and it works great for the most part of the time. Latelly and because of the COVID-19 quarentime, I've installed a few other apps, other then youtube and Netflix, but I'm getting frequent one minute freeze periods. I use to have them every 30 mins or so, but now, its every 5 mins or so. Amazon Fire TV on OS 2.10.5 Any way to minimize or fix this?

The driver is pretty straight forward and pretty much 1-way for the most part. I would be concerned with general system stability. It sounds like you have something that is sucking up CPU at that one minute interval. I would get your dealer to investigate this. 14 hours ago, Maps001 said: Thanks for that, I realised I hadn’t binded the audio volume in the room hence it wasn’t working.

elee532 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I see that "Long Home" is a setting option for the Guide and Menu button mapping. What does "Long Home" do? Also, how can I bring up the context menu in Kodi? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujtaba.khokhar Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Hi @alanchow, Any chance you could add custom mapping for the home button on the NEEO? Thanks M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have your Shield driver. p.s. I actually do own a license for the Kodi Full driver, but I uninstalled it and replaced it with the Shield driver. I had problems launching mini apps on the Shield with Kodi Full. For example, I would choose to launch Prime but instead I'd be taken to Kodi. Dealer did some troubleshooting, but no luck. I also couldn't find a way to get to the Shield home screen. Finally just threw in the towel and removed Kodi Full. It's much better, though still occasionally I try to launch one mini app but get another (usually Netflix). I do miss some of the other Kodi Full driver features. Anyway, sorry to get sidetracked. Back to my question... how to get context menu in Kodi with your Shield driver? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I can tell, Long Press of the Select button is the only way to get the context menu in Kodi. Thanks @alanchow, and I welcome any other suggestions you or someone else might have.

Amr Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Is there anyway we can add MiniApps ourselves? The provided MiniApps are outdated a bit and need a refresh, is the Custom App driver can be edited to include other mini Apps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
