drmark12pa Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 If the NVIDIA Shield is rebooted, will the IRUSB automatically restart the downloaded Videostorm application to regain control or must a user use the original remote to restart the application?

It will restart automatically approximately 3-5 minutes after the boot completes when the shield is power cycled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanchow Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 We updated our IRUSB driver to support auto room on and auto room off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmark12pa Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I contacted my dealer to update to 1.6 and he said the updated driver through Videostorm costs $75? Is that correct? I thought purchasing the IRUSB (2 of them) would include the correct driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is probably advising you of the cost of our driver which offers some unique features such as the ability to automatically turn the system on and off based on detection of audio. This is used for things like automating system on via casting youtube, netflix and other content from either your mobile phone/tablet or by using voice commands from Google Home. https://www.drivercentral.io/platforms/control4-drivers/videostorm-irusb-nvidia-shield-amazon-fire-tv-driver-for-control4-chowmain/ Eric Stiff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msgreenf Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 but yes, Alan's driver has a lot more features vs the free driver. Even with the free driver, labor to install can be charged by your dealer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elee532 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 My programmer just installed the latest @videostorm driver and mini drivers to control my Shield. None of the apps launch however. No matter which mini driver app I choose, they all take me to Shield home screen. I’ve tried Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and YouTube. Any advice? Thanks!! p.s. On another note, any chance of getting a mini driver for HD HomeRun app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drmark12pa Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I have to say the IRUSB is amazing now that I've got the updated 1.6 driver. I haven't had this much fast response time and control over an XBMC/KODI box until now. I have the NVIDIA Shield and the IRUSB works amazingly well for everything so far with fantastic response. Just had to put that review out there for anyone considering purchase. videostorm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellB Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Hi all, Which is the best configuration of drivers to get this capability: I want to be able to add my own custom channels to be displayed in the 'Watch' menu and have them change when I pick them. I have the irUSB setup properly with the 1.6 driver. For some custom channels, like 'Cooking Channel' I can get it to execute when the proper command is tied to a remote buttonon the SR-250 but I can't get it to change from when the viewer selects it from the watch menu. Thanks in advance, RussellB elee532 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

videostorm Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 I think the solution you are looking for is using the "Custom App X" properties on the driver. Put your QLAUNCH command in the "Custom App X" properties, then on the mini driver you create use the same "Custom App X" value for "APP_ID" variable on that driver. (X is 1-4) The mini drivers work by matching the APP_ID variable name on the selected mini driver to either a "Custom App X" or one of the KEYs in the urltableaf table (for amazon devices) or the urltablegp table (google play linked devices). urltableaf["Kodi"] = "QLAUNCH android-app://org.xbmc.kodi#Intent;component=org.xbmc.kodi/.Splash;end\r" The APP_ID to launch this is "Kodi".

RussellB Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I have some time today to fiddle around. Let me see what I can come up with... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellB Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Ok, here's my setup. Using ADB logcat I got the application and component name for 'Food Network'. For 'Custom App 2' in the driver setup I have: QLAUNCH android-app://tv.accedo.foodnetwork#Intent;component=tv.accedo.foodnetwork/com.snidigital.androidtv.ui.splash.SplashActivity;end Attaching 'Custom App 2' to the Green button starts Food Network from the SR-250. I modified the food network driver to have 'Custom App 2' as the name and the ID. I connected it to 'App 9' in the Connections for the Switcher. From 'Watch' on the Navigator when I select it, it switches to the Fire TV, but doesn't start the app. I have Plex and Kodi and a few others working. Now I'm just wrapped in the mystery as to what I'm doing wrong. I attached the driver. Russell amazonfire_foodnetwork.c4z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophers Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 recently upgraded both @alanchow's driver and @videostorm's driver and love the improvements. one weird thing that's going on is, on Alan's driver, anytime i un-pause or start a show, c4 seems to think i'm "re-loading" the room and sets discreet volume on my amp accordingly. using a denon amp control over IP. any ideas on if this is intended?

Russell amazonfire_foodnetwork.c4z Could you set the driver to "debug mode" = print, then select the mini driver, and paste the lua log output back here? It should log what APP_ID it is trying to load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellB Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Attached. Looks like it's trying 'Custom App 2'. lua.log Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was an issue in the driver. Try version 1.7 (on our site now). It first checks for a package name match, but if not found will search for a key name match or "Custom App X" match. christophers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellB Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Awesome. I'm not back home until Thursday so I'll test it then. Would it be easier for your driver to not hard-code anything and modify the mini-apps to store the program and component name and pass those in to your driver at run-time.? I mentioned I modified the original driver to support 50 connections. That was to 'wife-ify' the user interface. It's easier for her to hit a button from the Navigator that says 'Food Network' and have it go right to it instead of having to go into the Fire TV UI and hunt for it if it wasn't a recent application.
