Sideload Channel Launcher 3 questions...

by SturmieCom

I'm loving SCL3, but after using it for a week or so now, I have a couple of questions.

  1. Is there a way on the Hisense U8H to create a shortcut on one of the rows to a specific input, like HDMI 1?
  2. How can I set SCL3 as the default launcher (on bootup) on a Hisense U8H and also on an Nvidia Shield 2017 (different TV)?

Thanks.

Android TV (generic) doesn't have access to the actual TV functions, as those would be custom to each TV model.

The 3rd party launchers are for generic Android TV, not for specific models.

If you can find the system app, you might be able to make a launcher tile for it as an app and then add it to the launcher.

To set it up effectively as default launcher there are three settings. First enable SLC3 in the Accessibility section on the Shield. I don't know if the TV has that available to the user. Then in the SLC3 settings, map a button to launch SLC3 and enable launch on boot.
