Wushi Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Thanks for the reply. I'm using the native c4 ip control driver. Houselogix have withdrawn their driver because of some stability issues. So I guess I'll have to go the Videostorm way. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't work with the new FireTV firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @alanchow, Finally I was able to get my hands on the videostorm usb ir device. Installed it and got it working. A lot quicker than the C4 Ip Driver - very snappy, very happy! However I do need your help; 1. How do I select the native Amazon FTV interface - there's no minidriver for it and sometimes you need to go to settings or network, or apps etc. It would be nice to have a Fire TV source and go to the home screen of the device; 2. Youtube mini driver doesn't launch Youtube. Youtube is blocked on the AFTV but if you lauch it via the interface you get a warning and go to Firefox 3. Is there a way to start Kodi upon restart of the FTV? On the event of a restart, if KODI isn't running, nothing else works, not even the Kodi Control App 4. I wasn't able to load the movie posters on the C4 interface - neither on lists nor on the info screen. Is there a workaround for it? 6. How do you use the irusb mini-drivers?

It sounds like you have not fully setup our Kodi Full driver correctly. Your dealer will need to contact our Australian or US support desks and we will walk them through setup. https://www.chowmainsoft.com/support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great to have some time with the driver before my customers systems are updated to 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo1738 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Forgive my ignorance but I normally use Fire TV box for netflix, youtube, amazon video, and of course Kodi. What does this driver allow in Kodi that using the C4 remote can't? Does it allow direct access to certain things like add ons without going through the menus? I will be on a matrixed system (will have sony tv's) but would like to stick to one kodi device so can easily keep track of watched shows, movies, and the like. Thanks.

blub Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Driver update release? - Pleeeeeease - Kodi is in last RC5, that is like final version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elee532 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Can I add to the wish list for your next update... for those of us running Kodi on the Nvidia Shield with IRUSB, a single click option to get to the Nvidia Shield home screen would be awesome. Having to exit Kodi (or whatever Shield app we happen to be in) to get to the Shield Home screen is cumbersome. Likewise, a button the C4 Watch or Listen navigator to the Shield Home page would be awesome! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 I appreciate the enthusiasm and the ideas. Driver will be released when we're ready for release and at this stage we arn't ready. elee532 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The update also broke (or changed external control settings), but updating those did not fix it. It did fix it for my iPhone Kodi app control. Just wondering if the Kodi Chowmain Control4 controller is supposed to work on Kodi 18 Control4/Kodi/Chowmain driver, or if we’re awaiting an update? I was about to bug my dealer, but I’m pretty sure they’d hem and haw before waiting several weeks to ask you and get back to me... Edit: Interestingly the stop button in the Control4 remote still works (on Kodi) along with a couple custom buttons, but up, down, right, left and back do not.

Edit: I switched to auto-update mode last night and rebooted C4 (power cycle). It did not immediately fix the problem. However, when I checked this morning it had updated and was working fine.

I'm curious, does this update bring any other fixes or feature enhancements to Kodi Full, or is it exclusively for compatibility with Kodi 18?

flikfoto Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 @alanchow My Kodi recently updated to 18. It seems my Kodi Full Driver quit working. It is showing the Control 4 Connected graphic on my Kodi. My driver says it is up to date. It seems only the PGUP and PGDWN keys are responsive. Any thoughts on to why the driver is not working? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
