thegizzard Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I have been using it for a while with no issues. Tried doing it via IP but the LanMote app you install on the shield seems to have an issue either with the shield when rooted or with marshmallow so i gave up ip control Thanks. I'm using it too. Works great. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic30101 Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 I have been using it without any issues, I rooted mine and tried the LanMote route with the kodi driver but I believe there are issues with LanMote and the version of android the shield uses because some commands dont work through the web gui so I just stuck with the IR route. Was reading somewhere that the new one may not have an IR window though so we will just have to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanm Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 So the easiest option is just to download and use all the android apps from within kodi..YouTube from kodi, HBO from kodi? And don't use android UI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? You're recommending I buy one android tv device and a second to watch kodi? Though it will work a dedicated Kodi client will always work better. Not because of playback issues or processing power but because when the Kodi app has closed then all communications to Control4 stop functioning. As such when you click on any of the Kodi Full mini drivers (Movies, TV Shows, Music, Video Addons, Youtube, etc) you will get a message pop up saying that the DEVICE IS DISCONNECTED and that Control4 will attempt to turn the device on and to try again in a few minutes. At this point the driver will launch the app and you have to click on the mini app again. Now some people may be ok with this but in some cases it is unacceptable (eg my wife would hate this).

What? You're recommending I buy one android tv device and a second to watch kodi? In the end it depends on what you want really. Yes there's a difference - the 'full' android driver works similar to Roku drivers and other where you can have 'mini' drivers to select things like Netflix directly. If you want browsing movies through C4 - it works 'best' to have a device that just runs KODI. If you want both options - use it for KODI and browse through C4 AND have the ability to easily select and use other services - it will work smoothest to have separate devices.

The driver is smart enough to detect that you have quit the Kodi app and changes itself to control Android. It is also smart enough so that when you select Kodi as a source in Control4 it will send a command to startup the Kodi app if the app is not currently running. Note as per the installation guide you will need to install root your shield and install/configure LANmote Deluxe.

sonic30101 Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 With the properies box for android set to true it does, but has the same missing functions. With some more testing, i think lanmote has spotty results with android 6.0 because i am using an android set top box that comes rooted so hopefully an update will hash out some things.

ryanm Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I am having the exact same problem regarding limited lanmote control. Kodi Full includes android driver? I thought I had to buy both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Matthews Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Ok, I am rooted and got deluxe installed which was a little tricky having to download the app to my phone then back it up and side load it since the Android TV play store doesnt have all android apps. I am not sure if anyone else is running into an issue where if you log into the webpage for the lanmote server. 192.168.1.xxx:9999 only certain commands work. I can control the device in the mouse tab, media tab and app launch commands work flawlessly. but the Keypad tab which has the d-pad and enter commands are not working.
