videostorm Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 IRUSB version 2.1.0 (with firmware V225) has been submitted and will go live later today on most devices. You will have to run the firmware update inside the app to update your IRUSB hardware to V225 for the new functionality. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elee532 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Has anyone swapped their 2017 version of the Nvidia Shield for the new 2019 version? Does it work with the IRUSB and the @videostorm driver? Will it require re-programming by my dealer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the helpful Intel @msgreenf! Reason I'm looking to replace my current Shield is to get Atmos support for Disney and Netflix. lt sounds like it's definitely coming to the 2019 version, but unclear if the 2017 version will get it.

ILoveC4 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Thinking about picking up an Nvidia Shield. Aside from the IRusb device, what other driver(s) are required to make this work and what marketplace sells them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the new models it's the only one with USB ports. elee532 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msgreenf Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 That is only part of it. For Android based devices it serves as an input device and mimicks a keyboard. So you would use the ir to control a 2nd device Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Videostorm offers a free driver that covers most of the basic needs on their site and Alan Chow offers a paid driver with more features on his site. elee532 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've noticed with the new version is if I'm already using the Shield for an activity, selecting a new activity takes me to a recently used menu instead of the app I've selected. I have to "Room Off" before selecting a new activity and have it function properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stiff Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Also, @videostorm, is there any chance of actually getting Shield icons in the driver instead of Amazon? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Stiff Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Ok. Regarding the idea of having Shield icons, I have tried the route of unzipping the c4z file, replacing all the png files and rezipping into a new file. I downloaded a 1024x1024 png icon and ran it through the C4 icon tool to generated the images. I then deleted the driver in the driver folder and copied in the new file with Shield icons. Then I deleted the driver from the project, rebooted the controller, added the new driver, made connections, refreshed navigators..., and I still have a generic cable box icon for the shield. What have I done wrong? Thank you, Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so I did some digging and figured out from the Apple TV IR driver that Jesse Smith made, that the icon locations listed in the xml have to match the driver filename. So I changed mediaplay_ip_amazon_fire to mediaplayer_android_irusb and BOOM! I now have the Nvidia icons I chose to use both in the app and on the OSD. I was even able to get the logo to show in the identification window. I included the rezipped file that I made for personal use as a Shield driver. The only changes I made were the icons, where they are located in the driver, corrections to location information in the xml, and correction to the information for "identify_image.gif" mediaplayer_android_irusb.c4z The Good Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks great on my phone. On the Neeo remote the icon shows up fine under the Watch menu but not on the Home screen. Not sure why. Thanks again for the driver!
