msgreenf Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 may try to do this over the weekend - but honestly there are mini-drivers for everything I want - so I am not sure how motivated I am to make one any longer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konieczn Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 What's the estimated cost on something like this, and would a dealer need to install? I'd definitely be interested as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Lewis Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 there is already one for bbc iplayer... i spent a good hour making one and 'hacking' the mini driver until i refreshed and found C4 just released one! I made a TED one, as not available yet, uploaded into this thread Theres a custom mini driver for anything not yet available and a description of how to make your own...i found this AFTER i deconstructed a mini driver to make my own I can see C4 integrating this mini driver business into the 'channels' media section of composer, rather than creating new drivers and icons tend to change with time. amazonfire_ted.c4z msgreenf and RobbieF 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbieF Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Can anyone tell me what this means: Finding the App Number Each Amazon Fire TV App has a unique number. To find the number of the App you want this driver to launch you should first install it on your Amazon Fire TV and then select it from the main Amazon Fire TV driver. The App number is then displayed in the Driver Information property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The App number is then displayed in the Driver Information property. That documentation is wrong. That is for Roku. For fire tv you need the package name. To get that put a firetv driver into debug mode. On the firetv launch the app and then look at the lua tab and it will list the package name. Something like com.app that is what you put in the lua Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
