videostorm Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 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: C4 command for universal text search. Just send your search text and it will trigger that search on your device (Shield). C4 command to start google assistant. Still needs a mic to record your voice though, so not sure if this will ever be useful..... 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malelan Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 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. c4toys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We released the Text search feature to the production version of the app a couple weeks ago. It works well on Shield and Fire Stick. Is that what you are asking?

Andrej Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I have IRUSB plugged into Mi Box. Could you explain how it usually goes when using the feature? Does keyboard open inside control4 app or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videostorm Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 In C4 it is a programming command with a text parameter. Personally I don't know of any way to translate that to a user facing keyboard in C4. Perhaps someone knows? It is easy to do in other control systems though....

Andrej Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videostorm Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 Yes, "programming" is done via composer (home or pro edition). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
