FYI Amazon is now showing 4.0 released for those of you with FireTV

NetplayTV 4.0 has just been released.  Here are the highlights:
Fully Universal overlay PIP or transparently overlay any NetPlay source over whatever is playing Any other App (Netflix, Prime, etc) or Home screen Any source connected via a local HDMI port Configurable size, position, transparency, and more Start & Stop PIP is non disruptive to your main program Support for local HDMI inputs  OTT (over the top) box support with new Z9X decoders Full support for Android and Fire OS TVs with HDMI inputs Overlay and PIP anything over your local HDMI signals Redesigned User Interface Improved contrast and transparency for maximum usability Local UI is now fully synchronized with remote control APIs Easy selection of Audio in Tiled mode This is a FREE upgrade to all NetPlayTV customers.   From a hardware perspective, this enables the newest OTT boxes (Over the top, meaning they have HDMI inputs and NetPlay can directly display over the HDMI input).  The one we recommend which supports 4Kp60 HDMI input to output is Z9X     https://www.amazon.com/Zidoo-Player-Android-Quality-Engine/dp/B08M3JSWZX/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3VFHUIP0NF3CR&dchild=1&keywords=z9x+zidoo&qid=1619012727&sprefix=z9x%2Caps%2C237&sr=8-2

will have to check this out.  Still love my Elk M1G, and used to use a prior driver I think you helped develop Alan (another company) but currently use the C4 native.

Yeah, the "broadcast to interface XXX" failed is the reason.  Strange that they would block it, so many services need multicast / broadcast to work.  

If you go to the IRUSB page on the video-storm website there are links for the two things you need:  OTG cable and ethernet adapter.  Just use the same thing that is listed as for the Amazon Fire Stick.  Works great.
 

I got one to test this week.
 
IRUSB control works just fine - full access to play store and works with the OTG / Ethernet adapter.
I can get Netplay TV to load but only identify with static IP, for some reason the UUID doesn't broadcast.  Trying to use it as a decoder for Netplay TV results in a "UUID Mismtach" error on the screen whenever you try to select a source.  Not sure if that is something on my part or a limitation on the device.  I did note Tivo messed around with the google TV options as you cannot set a static IP like you can on NVidia shield
 
None of that matters unless you are a Netplay TV users...for device control and a cool little setup the Stream 4k w/ IRUSB looks to be good.

Not yet decided where we'll go, we're having discussion with other marketplace right now to see what they can offer. What's sure though is that we'll not die with Houselogix.

The new IRUSB driver has been uploaded to our site this morning.  
You can now use the new c4 "Universal" mini drivers with our app.  The irusb_minidrivers.zip file on our site contains all the ones that are compatible with this driver.  You can still use the older mini drivers as well. App URLs have been internally updated for all apps.   App launching has been delayed by half a second for compatibility reasons  (make sure the apps always launch) Support for our upcoming SplashTiles Cloud service has been added  (new service will launch around the first of the year)

We just updated our IRUSB faq to include full instructions on how to find new app URLs using Windows.  It is pretty easy.
The IRUSB mini drivers on our website allow you to easily change the URLs.  Better than waiting for us to update the main driver whenever an app changes.

You can use the generic Amazon Fire TV mini drivers written by Control4.  They will work with either the Shield or FireTV.  Just be sure to set the property on the IRUSB driver to Google Android TV device for Shield.
The mini drivers on our web site were written for Fire TV.  You can use for Shield, but you need to edit them to replace the QLAUNCH commands with the ones appropriate for the Shield.  See 
  for the commands.

Awesome! Nice job, Alan. 

well, I'm not really a "me too" type of guy but... ME TOO!
 
I've used Neil's services twice now and he has been extremely responsive, professional, and always done a great job.  I have used other remote integrators in the past and Neil is proving to be one of the best.
 
I will certainly be using him for my control4 needs in the future and highly recommend him.
