  1. Here's the explanation on Long Press from @videostorm
  2. I don't know about the Nvidia driver. @videostorm provides a long press option but not with the "select" button. This is a limitation of the C4 remote itself because the "select" button does not actually provide a long press capability. It only sends a "single tap" no matter how long you hold the button.
  3. VideoStorm also provides direct access to the colored buttons, plus the ability to add commands for direct app access in case there is an app that doesn't have a Universal Mini Driver.
  4. I've loaded it too but I'm not "using" it. I still much prefer the VideoStorm driver's functionality.
  5. Never mind, "draw over other apps" got turned off with the update.
  6. @videostorm It comes back without me using any navigator commands and just keeps scrolling about once a second.
  7. Precisely why as a smart home professional I use custom programming to take care of such issues.
  8. This is also why I wish the Sleep state was a checkable status on the Shield. Currently Power On or Power Off are the only states listed and when it's "sleeping" it still registers as "On." This may be a limitation of Android itself and something @videostorm doesn't have any ability to work with.
  9. I'm doing custom programming along with a contact sensor through one of the relays on mine to detect a loss of power. It checks the relay state once a day in the early AM and also when the project loads at controller boot up. When it determines power has been lost because the really is now open, there is a 15 minute delay to make sure everything is booted and settled, a cancel command is sent, then a home command, then a sleep command.
  10. @videostorm Ok, I was wrong. I did a hard reboot and when the IrUSB app started the error message came back.
  11. I can now confirm this does not work. I have to put the full QHID command in a custom app line and call them that way. Also, I am now getting this repeating error code in the Shield LUA window (the filename is different because I pack Nvidia icons into the c4z so I'm not looking at Fire TV icons for my Nvidia Shield): LUA_ERROR [id: 383][name: Universal Android Driver With Nvidia Icons][file: mediaplayer_android_irusb_shield.c4z][method: ReceivedFromNetwork]: [string "Lua Code"]:762: attempt to compare number with nil This error goes away when I reboot but eventually comes back.
  12. I considered that but wasn't 100% sure because it only references the CCC part when inserted into the script.
  13. The reason I want Cancel the current action and then execute the Guide (Home) command is to make sure the Shield is on the home screen before it goes to sleep. There isn't an option for it to go Home and then go to Sleep, it's just either/or. If I have it just go Sleep and then Home on Power On, the next time I start the app I was running before turning things off, it will start where it left off. I don't want that. Also, there have been times when just using "Go Home on Room Off" hasn't actually gone Home. The biggest offender has been Amazon. Edit: It looks like the only way to run a custom QHID command is in one of the custom app fields.
  14. It's actually the "Guide" command (mapped to Home which is the Circle button) when held too long that opens this menu. I would most definitely prefer the direct "Sleep" command. I'll punch that in and see how it does.
  15. @videostorm Something I've encountered with custom programming. The included screenshot of code will quite often act like a long press on the Circle button resulting in the situation in the photo instead of putting the Shield to sleep.
