Since we all will be spending extra time at home for the next few months, here are some new toys.....


Recommended Posts

Just released a few beta features on IRUSB so that you have something to tinker with while avoiding the corona virus  ☣️

You do need to manually opt in to the BETA version of the app to be able to use these.  Opt in at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.videostorm.irusb  (Google play only right now)

Three new features:

  1. C4 command for universal text search.  Just send your search text and it will trigger that search on your device (Shield).
  2. C4 command to start google assistant.  Still needs a mic to record your voice though, so not sure if this will ever be useful.....
  3. Support for more types of "Deep links", ie the ability to load programs / channels / videos directly via C4.  We have full instructions on how to do this for YouTube and Netflix.  Should also work with some experimentation for most other apps.  Please see http://www.video-storm.com/Downloads/irusb_faq.htm   (end section)

 

Let me know what you think.  These are all experimental right now so your feedback is really key to making them better!

Jason,

I actually have a question about this product, and i can open a support ticket, but since others might benefit here i'll post anyway.  I've noticed that when using the nvidia shield, some of the control4 remote buttons (sr250) don't map to the the appropriate android buttons.

i'm using the guide here https://elementalx.org/button-mapper/android-key-codes/

specifically info, and guide on the shield (through irusb) don't seem to map to 165 (info) ,172 (guide) respectively, 

was this intentional? maybe i'm missing something.

By default, Guide actually maps to the keycode_guide in Android.  Most devices don't actually use that keycode though, so in the latest driver we have a property to map the Guide and Menu keys with a few options.

If I got this right, it only works when you send text through C4 composer somehow? First time I hear of programming command with a text paramater, I looked up programming on android device driver and I don't see any option for text. Feel like I'm missing something here, do you mean sending it from LUA tab on mini apps?
