Games that use my phone as a controller?

Back in March, Google announced this:

http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/02/android-tv-uses-phones-as-gamepads/

But as far as I can tell, there is no easy way to tell if a game currently supports your phone as a controller. Is there something I can look for or a list of games that support this?

Keymapping Android TV remotes for improved KODI controls

Hi Guys, just wanted to share some awesome stuff i just figured out. I own one of the Sony Android TV's but this should work on all brands.

I couldn't get KODI to open the "context menu" for an item, furthermore i had experienced that my old tv and raspberry pi combo could communicate the numberpad keystrokes and utilize the keys like the old t9 cell phone keyboards. These limitations on KODI for android, got me anoyed. Therefore i:

  • Used ER file explorer to locate this folder (enable hidden folders first): Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/
  • I found that the only keypad map in this folder was for an Apple remote.

I could at this point manually enter the keynumbers in this file, but i quickly realized that i didn't know what my remotes keynumbers were. The solution i found was this:

  1. Go to: http://addons.kodi.tv/show/script.keymap/
  2. Download the addon and place the .zip file on a usb drive (place it in the root of the device, making it easier finding it).
  3. Insert the usb in your Android TV device.
  4. On your device, go to: system->settings->addons->install from zip file, and locate/install the addon.
  5. Go to: Programs->program add-ons, and open "Keymap Editor".

OK, so now were ready to modify how KODI interprets the keystrokes.

  1. Click edit.
  2. Navigate to: Global->Navigation->Context menu.
  3. Select it, then click "edit key" You now have 5 seconds to hit whatever key you want assigned on the remote, make sure to point it at the TV :-)

If you want to enable t9 typing on your remote, then Navigate to:

Global->Virtual Keyboard, and set 0 to the 0 key, 1 to the 1 key, 2 to the 2 key... Pic of the setup

When done use the regular back button to move backwards out of the editor, before exiting completely remember to hit the save button

Thanks for reading :-) hope it's usefull...

edit 1: clarified some stuff...

SuperBowl on Shield TV?

I just got an email from NVIDIA talking about how to stream the SuperBowl on the ShieldTV. link

The article is a little vague about whether the free options will allow you to actually watch the live game or if it is just some commentary and other info live streaming. Does anyone have more experience with watching NFL games with these apps?

Microphone performance on Nexus Player

So I heard about this page (https://history.google.com/history/audio?utm_source=help) which shows all your previous voice searches and noticed you can play them back. The audio quality of the searches on ATV were absolutely terrible and kinda explains (in my mind) why voice search is so useless. What do your searches sound like?

Shield TV low volume?

I'm having some issues with volume out of the shield TV, the volume is very low compared to a ps4 on the same tv. Both are connected to a samsung tv Ju7100 series and every time I change inputs to put the ps4 on, I have to lower the volume on the TV because it's so loud. Is there was an issue here, is there a way to fix this?

[Shield TV] Netflix 5.1 Garbled/Distorted Audio Issue

After figuring out which hdmi port is hdcp compliant my Netflix is up and running. The issue I am having is some shows (Bob's Burgers for example) have completely garbled/distorted 5.1 output. If it go into the show's Netflix menu and manually change it to Stereo it sounds ok. (My initial theory is that the show is a stereo audio source, and something is garbling it in the surround conversion). Kodi plays my local 5.1 content crystal clear.

My setup is as follows:

Shield TV >>> Denon avr-891 (7.1) >>> Samsung PN59d550 (speakers disabled)

Edit: Typo in receiver model number.

Issue with Nvidia Shield remote disconnecting?

I have a Samsung Smart TV and the Nvidia shield (redundant, I know) and through hdmi-cec, I can turn on/off the shield/TV with one another.

If my TV and shield is off and I press a button the nvidia shield remote, my TV turns on and switches to the right input. After this, the remote refuses to respond to any more button presses. I would have to pull the power cable out and plug it back in for the remote to work.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there a better way to do this?

Android TV on Sony devices

Hey everybody!

I'm currently searching for a new 55 inch TV priced below 1000€. The Sony ones are very appealing, design- and picture qualitywise. But every single one is rated badly because of its software, which is Android TV (e.g. Sony KD-55X8005C, Sony KDL55W805C, Sony KDL55W755C).

I know that LG and Samsung have quite good devices as well, but Sony looks quite appealing, as I said.

So, how bad is it really? Is the current state better than a few months ago when most of the ratings were given?

Greetings!

Edit: I just want to mention that all this Smart TV stuff is not needed as I'm searching for my parents. They won't use Smart TV, they just want a big, good looking TV with a nice picture quality. But getting this without Smart TV isn't possible anymore, so I have to deal with these problems.

Nvidia Shield - regular apps?

Hi guys,

Switching to an Nvidia shield from an "android box" at the end of the month. My question is - can the Nvidia shield run regular android apps, or do apps need to be specifically optimised? I have a tonne of children's books I read to the kids that actually work great on the TV on regular android and I'd hate to lose this capability.

Cheers,

An update on TrueHD for Plex - Requires work from Google/Nvidia

https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/885686/shield-android-tv/truehd-dts-ma-an-update-from-ian-bird-of-plex-as-to-current-work-in-progress/post/4796733/#4796733

I'm glad to hear that the improved DTS-HD-MA passthrough is working for you. This will work if you are Direct Playing your MKV file, but will not if you require it to be transcoded (e.g. when lowering video quality). We'll hopefully be able to resolve that in the future.

As for TrueHD, that is on going work. I've written up my findings of TrueHD for both Google and Nvidia and there requires some additional work in order to support it. We'll continue to push for support, but at the moment, it's out of our hands.

News & AndroidTV

How do you get your live news fix? Seems like any app I can find is simply clips -- not live news. Also, can't find a single fucking news app on Android (normal) that has live news AND chromecast support. For example, CNN. I can get it live on my 5" phone, but they can't be bothered to let me cast that shit to my TV.

So, /r/AndroidTV how do you get live news?
