ADBTuner: A "channel tuning" application for networked Google TV / Android TV devices

Playground
#1314

To tune MSNBC with the NBC News App package (com.zumobi.msnbc), use the following URL:

nbcnews://brand/msnbc

I just dusted off my ADBTuner setup, tested the above, still works.

EDIT: Forgot to tag @xmguy

@spammedeeper That's what I have. But it doesn't work. Launches the app. But goes to NBC News Now. Even though it's linked to my Spectrum subscription.

Well, to directly copy mine, try this:

-Change the Provider Name to: NBC News
-Remove the alternate package

#1317

Didn't work. :frowning:

#1318

Biggest thing I’d like to know is how to find the URLs needed for the commands? The Manifest doesn’t seem to have all the info needed.

#1319

The manifest provides the structure of URLs that the application will attempt to process. It won't tell you what the specific link you are looking for is, nor is it guaranteed that any of the defined URL formats will actually work.

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
    <data android:scheme="nbcnews"/>
    <data android:host="story"/>
    <data android:host="item"/>
    <data android:host="slideshow"/>
    <data android:host="video"/>
    <data android:host="tab"/>
    <data android:host="playlist"/>
    <data android:host="section"/>
    <data android:pathPattern="/..*"/>
</intent-filter>

From com.zumobi.msnbc (current version 11.x) it appears it will attempt to process links such as:

nbcnews://story/<something>
nbcnews://item/<something>
nbcnews://slideshow/<something>
nbcnews://video/<something>
nbcnews://tab/<something>
nbcnews://playlist/<something>
nbcnews://section/<something>

From here you need to either:

  1. Guess (ex. nbcnews://video/msnbc) (note: does NOT work)
  2. Check if the provider's website uses similar URLs that might provide a hint.
  3. Dig further into the decompiled APK for clues.
  4. Other things: review Android logs, check into any other apps that might use the deep links internally, etc..

I spent some time on this and as far as I'm concerned com.zumobi.msnbc currently does not support deep links for live tv. Everything just gets directed to the main section/tab which is NBC News NOW.

If you do find something that does work, please share as it might be helpful as an alternative to the standard NBC app which has the "dark video" issue at the moment.

Since that re-authorization code was added my XFINITY goes back to the guide after a while so I miss a lot of the endings in the movies. Are you sending this command periodically or when the APP first starts before it tunes ?

For months, I have been using the NBC News App (com.zumobi.msnbc) and can launch MSNBC just fine with URL: nbcnews://brand/msnbc

What version, where did you get the APK? I have tried that and many other URLs, with no luck.

#1323

Thank you TurtleTank. I absolutely will.

#1324

What is the app version and what platform are you running it on? And what provider login are you using? I'm not suggesting in any way that you are wrong, I just couldn't duplicate this. For me, it always loads the "NBC News Now" stream and not MSNBC.

This is unexpected. What device are you currently using? Can you share some docker logs from when this happens?

It's currently setup to check the current value of that setting and change it, if necessary, each time ADBTuner connects to the device to do something, which can happen often, but shouldn't happen while a stream is active.

#1325

FireTV Sticks with Android 9 ... I had to turn the docker off and use another method because it happened when recording a marathon ... HBO was showing all the Batman Movies so once one movie went to the guide all the others just recorded the guide because they all aired on the same Channel.

This is my last log not sure if it shows anything ...

#1326

Thanks for the follow up. I'm not actually seeing the settings change in this log. Are you sure you are running a version of ADBTuner with this feature?

It should look something like:

lib.adb - ADB: Connecting to device (attempt 1).
lib.adb - ADB: Connected.
lib.adb - ADB: x.x.x.x - settings list global
root - adb_enabled=1
root - Setting adb_allowed_connection_time parameter.
lib.adb - ADB: x.x.x.x - settings put global adb_allowed_connection_time 0

or this if it is already configured

lib.adb - ADB: Connecting to device (attempt 1).
lib.adb - ADB: Connected.
lib.adb - ADB: x.x.x.x - settings list global
root - adb_allowed_connection_time=0, adb_enabled=1, adb_wifi_enabled=0

Regardless, it should not do what you are describing and it would be good to get to the bottom of that. Do you by any chance have Channels DVR logs from the same time period? I'm seeing some cleanup operations across your multiple devices here, but only one attempt to load content which is weird. I don't like to guess, but maybe there is some sort of timing issue with overlapping recordings or something.

#1327

sorry Posted wrong log ... I cannot really do anything today lots of recordings scheduled.

Same here, couldn’t duplicate. Although one pro is it seems to launch much quicker for me than the main NBC app.

I found what the problem is of XFINITY going to the guide it appears they added a still watching after so many hours on same Channel ... Really kills marathons. I would have to check my firesticks to see if it is XFINITY or Data usage to see if somehow FIRETV turned back on the still watching Prompt ..

Did Checking it appears XFINITY turned on the Still Watching Prompt. This has not been a problem before but HBO had Godzilla marathons to setup Godzilla x Kong.

I figured a way to bypass are you watching Prompt ... what I did was set -10 padding on both the front and end of my Pass when recording HBO or Showtime. That way XFNITY Closes before it starts the next Stream and starts fresh.... Having -10 has no impact in start and end of the show... as these Channels tend to have previews in the front and back of the shows.

10 seconds after and 10 seconds before

Same for me. But It's a no-go. Only loads the NBC News Now feed.

One other potential method that I might try if my main-project feature request doesn't get any traction is to just create a 2nd set of duplicate channels within ADBTuner, and then even/odd specify the channels for a series of recordings. This should effectively force separate streams at the cost of a much more unwieldy channel list.
