Hey Guys,
Finally got off stock and got CM 11 installed last night, I did lightly use my phone for TV control and was wondering what was the best app t use after you have a custom rom installed?
Smart ir remote, this is by far the best. I bought the pro version and the developer wrote a couple remotes that worked for my tv/DVD AV system in my truck/Tahoe. I didn't realize how nice it is to use tasker so when I get home depending on what room I'm in (which ap I'm connected to) the remote switches so I'm always controlling my room tv or living room tv, when the phone rings it mutes the tv. Or even go to the store and now I've got my truck stereo controlled with my phone.
I'm gonna attach a screenshot of a floating remote option that's genius.
I want this app to do well because the developer seems very passionate about it. Give it a shot you will like it.

What he said. Will probably ask for root permission but will definitely work.

I have been trying to make Smart IR Remote and Peel Smart Remote with with the IR Blaster but it seems that the ROM isn't allowing access or the libraries are different.
Only the inbuilt IR remote works but is limited in functions.
Anyone else have this issue?
Else I am very happy with Honor 7 so far...

Same here. Using Honor 7/PLK-AL10 (CN model). No single response from Peel towards fairly recent Philips AmbiLight. Previously Peel worked superb, with a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini.
Rooted or not?
What's your region code in build.prop? (product.language, product.region)
The only other app I've got to work that is compatible with the IR driver is ZaZaRemote https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tiqiaa.remote
Peel Smart Remote did not work for me too on Sony TV

One way around this is to Edit your "Smart Controller" App. For instance I edited volume buttons to be used for Surround Sound (External speakers). This can be done by either by editing existing buttons on the remote or by using 'Expand' button. So you can practically add any remote function by key learning method available on "Smart Controller' App. Please feel free if any further help is needed regarding this feature.

Peel Remote
Hi,
The Smart Controller works fine alright, it is Peel TV remote that does not work or get configured. Since my Set top box was not listed in the list, I had to manually edit the Smart Controller anyway for it to work
EDIT- Rather the Smart Controller doesn't work completely fine. Every button works fine except the channel selection buttons (0 to 9). If I press say 3, it takes 33 as the input. So I want to key in channel 100, it will invariably got to 110 (double of the first press, double of the second press double of the third press, 110000, but since the TV recognizes 3 characters, it will stop at 110).

No not the xfinity tv go app....the xfinity tv app that if you are on the same WiFi as your cable box you can basically use the app as a virtual cable box in another room. I am able to load the app up, it buffers then goes right back to the android home screen, any one have any luck or similar situation with this app?

I thought more xfinity Comcast users would be interested in this app as you would have access to your cable box/DVR, watch every channel you subscribe to without affecting anyone else watching cable on your physical cable box

I need this as well. There was an update to the app a few days ago. Does it work now by side loading?

I sideloaded the latest version of the Xfinity TV app version 3.1.0.014
The app does not support proper navigation with android tv remote as it is intended to be used on a touch interface.
You can however connect a mouse via USB OTG and use the app. I have watched around an hour of TV on the app and did not have any major issues.
It is a little buggy at times exiting and re-entering the app and I have had a force close but it is usable.
Once they update for Android TV support I will be very happy. (I am hoping they update for Android TV support. I haven't found any information to say they are for sure.)

Comcast released another app update today. Hopefully it didn't break things for you, let me know how it goes, I am thinking about getting a Nexus Player for this app. I doubt they will ever support Android TV, they would be losing $10 per month from folks who are currently renting their own comcast boxes for additional TVs.

I just uninstalled the previous version and installed the new version 3.1.1.019
I am not noticing any changes and it still seems to be working fine.
I have a keyboard/mouse combo connected to the Nexus Player that I use to navigate in the app which is a little clunky but does work.
I am watching some On Demand on it right now with no issues.

What software are you using on the nexus player?
Also have you tried using droidmote to navigate?

Awesome, i can confirm it does work on stock, for some reason i never tried on stock, i am now going to root it to see if droidmote works as a remote for it.
Edit: droidmote works as a mouse, but the remote functions do not work inside the xfinity app

has anyone figured out why the Xfinity TV app closes or how to fix this I have the newest version installed on my nexus player and on my nvidia shield and on both devices the app closes after about 10 minutes of watching a live or on demand show and goes back to the Home screen? On my fire stick the app doesn't close but I get other playback error on live channels. The TV to Go app works 100% on my correctly it never closes but it lacks a channel guide and DVR abilities so I would rather use the X1 TV app instead. any suggestions on how to get the app to stop closing back to the home screen?
as a side note for those trying to find a controller solution, I use a QQ-Tech Mini Bluetooth Keyboard W Touch pad for Android OS Windows from Amazon for about 20 bucks. I use this for all 3 of my boxes to control the Xfinity TV and TV to Go apps it works grate its about 7 inches long so about the size of a TV remote. mine is rechargeable with a light up keyboard. this will also make using Chrome and other sideloaded apps on Android TV so much easier to use.
I watched it the other day for like 2 hours and didnt have 1 issue, are you on the latest firmware on your nexus player? Also has anyone tried the update that came out today?

I've got Pure Nexus running and i am having no issues with the Xfinity Go App with a Keyboard/Mouse works somewhat with the remote besides selecting anything, can only use the nexus remote as a glorified browser can go up and down left and right and back.

Understood, i refuse to get X1 because right now i pay 80 Bucks for 150 Channels + HBO and 75Megabit Internet. I don't need a DVR made by them, nor do i need anything else they deem fancy. I wouldn't have Comcast at all if i could have the option, but they are the fastest within 100 feet of my location. Lot of OTA DVR Options Exist, some are like 10-15 Years Old. (The PSX Console was a PS2 with built in DVR if that says anything). i Have a hacked Roamio i use to record stuff.

The Xfinity TV app (not TV Go) works, but sometimes looses track of the "Home" network.
We are using a friend's login info to test it- Our 2 NP's both have M 6.0.
It will not work out of the box hardwired for channels you have not viewed before- i.e on your "previously viewed channels" list, prompts you to use your cellular data connection, but has an "allow just this time" link that will let it through a LAN.
Seems the TV (not TV Go) app keeps track of the WiFi connections and designates one a "Home".
I have renamed my 2 access points the same name, with same SSID and passwords- it worked great for a day, then started locking me out of new channels.
ES FileExplorer lets you ftp into the NP with the LAN---> Remote Manager, so I will be copying the X-TV data over and see if that works.
As a side note- I will be testing the TV Go app found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63688527&postcount=39
I found this Rii that works quite well for the NP in general, and the trackpad seems very good to me, especially double-tap, hold and swipe.

I wanted a 2.4 ghz romo, because I read many comments about BT sleeping issues.
The rest of my setup has this hub-

and this UBS to RJ-45 adapter.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JWXTOIA/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=
All work with the NP
**Edit**
Sytanek's app mod at the link above works excellent on our stock NP with M 6.0.1
Can anyone confirm the apps still work on our NPs as of today?
I am moving and the place I am heading to doesn't have other options but Comcast... this would be great in cutting some of those "rental fees" on additional cable boxes.
I can't get Xfinity TV to work on my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 with cyan 13.0....just buffers then returns
I need little help here. I installed the app and when i click get started it redirects to dolphin browser and when i log in i get some error message. I can't get this app working.
Hey all,
I have a shield TV, loving it.
I really want to run the showtime Android TV App, but it's out of my region... I've been looking for the past two days online for an android TV apk, and all I could find were either phone or tablet versions (That obviously don't show up on the Leanback). I've also searched the forums.
The tablet version seams to display fine (when opened through Sideload launcher), but I cannot control it with either the remote or the gamepad.
I was hoping one of you might have a link to an APK that is native for Android TV/Shield TV, that will show up on the Leanback launcher and be usable.
Thanks!!
I ran into the same thing with another app. found that there are bt keyboard handheld devices (ebay) that will do the trick. you should not have to pay more than $20. However, not all worked for me. The alternative is to use a good wired mouse
The official Showtime TV app works with out a mouse . If you still need it I can send you the apk.

Hi guys!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900T3 laying around that we don't use anymore and I was wondering a way to turn it into a media and some gaming hub on it. Is there any launchers or ROM that would work? Wondering is there like a simple voice remote that I can pair it to the phone?
Look at Kodi. With the right modules, it should be able to do those things.
