dinom Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Anyone know if it's possible to add a Plex mini driver to C4 to allow direct channel selection of Bravia Sony TV Plex app? I already have the default ones setup and working - i.e., Vudu, Neflix, Amazon. Thanks, Dino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinom Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 I take it by the lack of any response, this isn’t possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synnetic Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I've found none, so i modified the bravia_selector with plex icons... 1) Install app on TV if it is not already installed. 2) From Driver Actions in the main TV driver, run the ‘Build App URI Map’ action. 3) Add the Bravia Plex Selector mini driver to the project. 4) Bind the mini driver to an available RF_SONY_TV_APP Channel connection on the TV driver 5) Refresh Navigators 6) Execute the 'Get App List From TV' Action from the Driver Action Tab 7) Select the desired app from the 'Bravia App Selector' Property on the Driver Property Tab. Once you make this selection the 'Bravia App' property will be populated with the app name and the driver will be renamed in the Project tree. 8) Refresh Navigators sony_bravia_plex_selector.c4z vstar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinom Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 Wow, this is great, thanks. I’m not a dealer, so I’ll need to reach out to my remote dealer to install this. Is this something he’ll be able to do pretty easily? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synnetic Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Yes he should be able to easily get this added remotely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil12011 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Shout out to Synnetic for making the Plex mini driver with icon appropriate goodness. Much appreciated sir. RobbieF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinom Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Yes, thanks to both Synnetic for creating the driver, and to Neil for setting this up in my system. Works perfectly! This was the only mini driver I was missing and now the Watch selection is seamless. Thanks again!! neil12011 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theisp Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Any having the same problem as we have? We are trying to add HBO to the menu on a Neeo remote. When we issue the "Build App URI Map" command nothing happens. We are using the mini driver "BRAVIDA App Selector". We are getting this error, indicating that the driver is not connected to the TV, but we dont have the option to do so within the driver. ExecuteCommand(LUA_ACTION) LUA_ACTION.GetAppListFromTV() Trying to get TV Device ID but this App driver is not bound to the TV. GetAppListFromTV() failed, App driver may not be bound to the TV. Will the Synnetic driver help in this situation and where do I find it? /Theis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeHomeControl Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I haven’t used this driver, but generally speaking you would bind the driver to the TV driver by going to the Connections tab of Composer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theisp Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Yes I know. But there is nothing to bind. /Theis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 You don't have it setup right then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theisp Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Perhaps not, but I had C4 support to look into the problem. He claimed that it was the Sony driver that was missing the logical parameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeHomeControl Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Did you try deleting the driver from the project, rebooting Director, and then readding the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeHomeControl Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 This is what the Connections tab should look like for the driver (before making the binding to the TV.) msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 If your TV doesn't have the connections then Mini App isn't supported for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theisp Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 This is how it looks. No where to bind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeHomeControl Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 OK, then you don't a TV driver in the project that supports this functionality. I do see a Sony Bravia driver in the room. What model is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theisp Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Its a Sony KD-55X8509C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WholeHomeControl Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 It looks like even the most recent version of that driver does not support this function. Someone else may know an alternate driver you can try, but I'm afraid I don't know this myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Cohen Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I have a Sony XBR75X900E, and use this driver: It works perfect with the Brava App Selector, and I have added multiple Apps to it (Acorn, Disney+, Hulu, etc.). It does provide the Connection options you need to bind the App Selector to the TV. Whether or not it would work with your Sony, I couldn't say, but thought I'd report what has worked for me.

theisp Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Hi Latest update after changing to the C4 XBR-75X900E driver is Working.... Great news Thanks for the help. We though have another problem with the Sony KD-55X8509C. The Android OS reboots each second time we power up the unit. Not every time. This is very strange. /Theis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
