dmcvie Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Hello there, I recently added an Android TV to my C4 system and I would really like to control it with the C4 remote. I've tried to "find" an IR driver, but so far, no luck. Yes, I see the Chowmain has a driver, but its IP and I'd rather not screw with the OS image on the box. the device is a TVIP TV Box v.605 (product on Amazon). I've tried to use an existing driver (VCR) and modify the IR codes and add a few custom ones. I've captured the IR codes using the EA-3 in the rack. This seems to work for the IR codes, but it is missing the HDMI connection so I can't connect it to the correct input. When I use a DVD player driver with HDMI output and then modify it, the IR codes don't work. It seems that the frequency(?) or the base driver (VCR or DVD) is impacting the way the IR is transmitted back to the device? Seems strange, as I would have expected the captured IR code to just be transmitted, regardless of the base driver used. Any suggestions? - Thanks in advance!

Matt Lowe Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 have you checked out the irusb from videostorm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmcvie Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 Hi Matt, Just took a look at that. I think it might be a good solution as I cant get the required app installed on the box to use the Chowmain driver. I was hoping to get this done with a C$ driver, but may have to go with the irusb solution. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Matt, upon further investigation it looks like irUSB needs an app installed on the device that the dongle will be plugged into. There is no obvious way to do this in the UI and I don't want to start screwing around with the device. SO, it looks like I am back to an IR solution. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Quote Better than all box - we delivers an amazing Android TV streaming media player experience. And yet it doesn't have the standard google app store? Get a different box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
