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

ok thanks

Been out all day and just saw this. I will assume this is an "ok thanks, I will let you know if I decide to do that." :slight_smile:
If it is an "ok thanks, Let's do that then send me a DM to let me know to start a thread on the subject"

does this work with hbo max?

no

You need to decide what is it that you want to Accomplish .... what Streaming Services do you have and what is your TV Provider... that way others that are using those providers can help assisting you ... so far you have mentioned every provider I can think off ... do you really have them all ?

ADBTuner is designed to automate Android TV apps to open live, linear content from within these apps as if one was tuning a traditional TV channel. The content in the Max app is all on-demand and as such there are no “channels” to load.

The Max app was originally all on-demand, but they now have a few live streams in the app and on the website.

I haven't used it in a while, but I had their live CNN channel working. It's not the same content as the normal CNN network, but it was 24/7 and worked with ADBTuner.

They now have streams for HBO, HBO 2, etc., but I have not confirmed that they work consistently.

In that case it sounds like a job better handled by AH4C. I suppose it would work with ADBTuner too if those channels can be accessed consistently and reliably by a deeplink, and there aren't any extra keypresses required.

I just checked my Max app on AppleTV. I see the CNN Feature channel (beta) but don’t see any other HBO channels. Where are they?

Yeah Eastern Time Zones ... I get it with my XFINITY Subscription.

In the Android TV app they are on the home screen several rows down.

I force-quit and relaunched and now I see them there too. Thanks!

They seem to work at the moment, but I'm not sure yet if the urls remain the same over time.

Can you post a screenshot of a channel on adbtuner ... I do not see the HBO Max Package.

Never mind got it working ....

it's com.wbd.stream

EDIT: that's interesting. I don't have com.hbo.hbonow, but com.wbd.stream works for me

Mine is com.hbo.hbonow real fast channel changes. I get HBO because it is part of my XFINITY package.

The OFFSET in ADBTUNER works great set it to -3 and now guide data matches.

@nschaffner I noticed adbtuner does not handle the profile screen in hbomax from initial start... it needs to hit enter or ok.

@turtletank ....

HBOMAX has added some live Channels and they work the problem is that in a fresh start of the MAX App it has a Profile Screen and it is not being detected a simple ok or enter will do.

While back I mentioned that CW had added some "live channels" but couldn't find a deeplink that would work.
Turns out you can't use www.thecw.com website...BUT www.cwtv.com will work.
Here is a sample for launching "Laff More"

adb -s $streamerIP shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "https://www.cwtv.com/channels/?channel=laff-more" com.cw.fullepisodes.android
