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

Thanks, the next time it happens I'll try to check that. But that brings up the following questions,
Where do I find the string(s) and how do I modify them if I need to?

It's done by creating a Custom Config with the :development tagged version of ADBTuner. Search this thread for more info on how to create one that includes custom strings to match. This capability was fairly recently added.

Here's a snippet of what the Custom Config JSON looks like:

Been playing around trying to scrape the DirecTV schedule API and had some success. Does this help you guys at all? Looks like I can grab a XML and some sort of DeepLink.

I have a good method setup through OliveTin-for-Channels that allows an ADBTuner user to grab their specific set of subscribed DTV channels, add them to ADBTuner and create a CDVR Custom Channels source.

It's pretty sweet, as it adds the correct subset of channels (including locals and RSNs), to ADBTuner and CDVR, and can be run whenever to update their specific set of channels.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I got too far into playing with their API I had to write up a little Deeplinks server for DirecTV. Might be of little value, but fun to put together. Feed the container your username/password and it'll scrape their schedule and generate a M3U/XML (set type as STRMLINK). Creates a little webserver too (default port 8675). If nothing else, might be some good FAST channels in there. Works on Firestick deeplinks only right now (not sure of tvOS schema).

This is even better. I assume we can get this tool working with adbtuner? @bnhf
