Hey all - I'm the developer behind FitzyTV. If you're not familiar, FitzyTV lets you use your Android TV as a TV set-top-box with DVR using your existing cable/satellite/OTT subscriptions.

I am commanding my Sony Android TV via Siri (iPhone + Shortcuts) to switch on/off, start applications, etc.
To do this, I am using some local network requests like...
curl -v -XPOST http://192.168.0.11/sony/system -H 'X-Auth-PSK:XXX' -d '{"id":20,"method":"getRemoteControllerInfo","version":"1.0","params":[]}'
This often works, but sometimes it does not work to switch the TV on, while all the other commands always work fine.
I've investigated sending the requests from the PC at random times when the device was off and I've found out that sometimes it is not responding, so the requests are timing out after a number of seconds.
I've tried then sending a ping beforehand and sometimes the TV started responding, while some other times it took a lot of time (dozens of seconds), but it eventually started responding after I tried multiple times with ping, GET, POST, etc.
The TV resulted being correctly connected to the router with the appropriate IP address all the time (I checked the connected devices on the router control panel).
Why is the device sometimes randomly "sleeping" and responding to web requests only after a random period of time/attempts?
I've seen a couple of posts previously here about speeding up Sony Bravia Android TVs by disabling YouView as well as the 'Featured Apps' and 'Sony Select' app. The trouble with doing this for us UK users is we lose access to iPlayer, All4, My5 and the ITV Hub and I haven't seen this addressed yet. The below links to a project on github who has fixed this by adding links to the above apps into the app tray so if you are in the UK, you can now disable all the Sony stuff and still catch up on Eastenders. Works on my xd8305.

I just bought my parents a T9 box and Logitech c922x to chat with our kids. Duo accesses the video perfectly, but no audio from the c922x camera's microphone. Seems this might be related to an Oreo update. Does anyone know how to get audio and video into a decent video chat app on Oreo?
I also bought one of these, which doesn't work either, even with the c922x unplugged.
