Will any button remapper allow remapping of the remote button to a sideloaded app? Or is it only possible for apps that are visible in the app library?
More thoughts/discussion....
I'm waiting on my chromecast with Google tv and trying to get my head around not having the usual live TV app I used for my hdhomerun throughout the house on my Android tv boxes. I was originally looking at replacing all my Android tv devices theoughoithe house if this device ticks all the boxes for me.
I understand that the live TV app can be sideloaded but then as per the usual sideloaded app it won't show up in the apps.
Next fall back is trying to see if tasker can see sideloaded apps as I may trigger that way.
Next option is sideload launcher.
Next option is voice commands.
I've had issues with Button Mapper so turned it off for now. It causes certain select button presses not to register in the UI. I'm trying to train myself to use voice more to lauch apps. Live channels will launch by voice.
