Yes, you can add new commands this way.  However, they are not saved if your controller reboots.  That is why it is better to put them in a customized mini driver.

One more that doesn't work: Disney.  I have both the Disney Channel and Disney Junior universal mini drivers installed, and connected both of them to my shield (even though the only Android TV App is for Disney Channel, which I have installed).  Neither works when connected to the shield in composer.

 

Also, just in case this is useful for anyone else, here's the QLAUNCH commands for some of what I'd consider the more common apps in the US:

HBOGo:  QLAUNCH android-app://com.hbo.go#Intent;component=com.hbo.go/.LaunchActivity;end

Movies Anywhere: QLAUNCH android-app://com.moviesanywhere.goo#Intent;component=com.moviesanywhere.goo/com.disney.brooklyn.tv.ui.signin.TVSignInActivity;end

NFL: QLAUNCH android-app://com.gotv.nflgamecenter.us.lite#Intent;component=com.gotv.nflgamecenter.us.lite/tv.youi.viper.ViperBootActivity;end

NFL Sunday Ticket: QLAUNCH android-app://com.directv.sundayticket#Intent;component=com.directv.sundayticket/.view.ui.activity.SplashActivity;end

VUDU: QLAUNCH android-app://air.com.vudu.air.DownloaderTablet#Intent;component=air.com.vudu.air.DownloaderTablet/.TvMainActivity;end

One other thing that I've noted, is that I keep getting this in the Lua Output on the IRUSB driver:

[string "Lua Code"]:747: attempt to compare number with nil (ReceivedFromNetwork)
[string "Lua Code"]:747: attempt to compare number with nil (ReceivedFromNetwork)
[string "Lua Code"]:747: attempt to compare number with nil (ReceivedFromNetwork)

[string "Lua Code"]:747: attempt to compare number with nil (ReceivedFromNetwork)
[string "Lua Code"]:747: attempt to compare number with nil (ReceivedFromNetwork)

 

It happens over and over.  I have my Shield on a Matrix, and after selecting a source that would change my video matrix to the Shield, I can see that my matrix then keeps going back to the shield indefinitely (like it's stuck in a loop).  I can manually change it to Input 1, and after a few seconds, it'll go back to Input 5 where my Shield is...

Disney has moved to the new "Disney Now" app.  Please use the Disney Now universal driver from our irusb_minidrivers.zip on our web site.

Set your driver property "Debug mode" to print, then copy the LUA output tab when the matrix switching thing happens.  Then file a ticket at https://netplay.freshdesk.com

The LUA error above happens if you don't have the latest IRUSB app installed on the shield.  Please check.

IRUSB app version is V1.6.

 

Here's what it's showing with debugging enabled:

Please add the ability to send the home command when pressing the menu key.  This specifically applies to Shield TV.  Thanks for an awesome product!

Hello!

First off, thanks for what sounds like something awesome for control4 integration. 

Forgive my ignorance here, I'm just trying to understand everything before I order my 2 pieces. 

First, I have two shields, 1 pro and 1 not, and I have two control4 controllers. That I want to use to control those Shields. The apps I use on Shield are primarily Netflix and Plex. 

Which product do I need? The one the one with NetPlay or no? What about the NBX022 do I need this? 

What about on the Control4 end? I haven't talked to my dealer since they setup the original control4 system several years ago, is this something they will be able to do without an issue? 

 

My big thing is I just want to be able to use my Control4 controller without having to use my shield controller. I want the control4 controller to do pretty much everything, as far as navigating shield, pause, play etc etc. 

 

Thanks so much for your assistance!

-Chase

All you need are 2x IRUSB devices. One for each shield (or whatever android tv box you have).

I got my IRUSBs in the other day, and msgreenf helped me out on getting these installed and working!! 

These are awesome to use, and if anyone needs someone to help get these setup and working he is your guy! Super friendly, and great pricing for the work!
