enzeder Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Latest update for the nvidea shield has added support for control4. Nothing on the nvidea forums on what this means and google not showing anything so wondering if anyone here had any idea of what they are doing? shupp872 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shupp872 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 The update notes say "Use your Control4 remote or app to navigate your SHIELD and even directly launch installed apps. Contact your certified Control4 installer to add your SHIELD today." Very interesting indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psosmith82 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 was just going to post about this. Is this an IP Driver? Is it made by Nvidia or a partner developer? Is it available now? or coming soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Available now. Ip driver. Unsure who made it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhyPhy Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 My nVidia Shields are showing up as new network IP devices in Composer, indicating IP control. Hopefully this will allow me to retire the semi-annoying VideoStorm dongle and driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Good Guy Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 does anyone one know how to send a "long press" with this new driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psosmith82 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Will it allow direct launch of apps? Any more control vs using ir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 It does mini app launching. Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

istreich Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 That's great. Is it an official Control4 driver or third party? And free or premium? please post your comments on your first impressions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 It's an official free driver istreich 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istreich Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Thanks. Great to hear. Anything missing vs the Videostorm one? Seems like a no-brainer but curious if any negative to adopting/switching to this new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nawty Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I need an analog audio output on the driver to be useful.......for audio into my house system... msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaphod Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Is this just for Shield or is a driver available for all AndroidTV boxes? IP control for HA systems should be built into the Android TV OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sofakng Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I just saw this update on my Nvidia Shield too. I'm really glad to see it even though I'm a big fan of the irusb as well (and it's been working flawlessly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elee532 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I have tried both the Chowmain and Videostorm drivers for my Shield. Each has had some annoyances. So, i am watching this closely. I may be reaching out @msgreenf msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sofakng Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Hmmm, the driver is working good so far but the numbers don't work. (I've used this with the Videostorm driver for selecting channels with Live Channels or Channels DVR). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
