I have ADBTuner setup to record F1 on Apple TV (on an Amazon FireStick) via FruitDeepLinks. However, it gets stuck on this screen rather than starting the event:

Looking at the logs it appears as though it is not recognizing the buttons on screen and not clicking through:

Starting tune match text monitoring. Match commands: [{'match_text': ['watch', 'live', 'mls', 'mlb', "don't allow"], 'commands': [{'type': 'ADB', 'command': 'input keyevent KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER'}], 'start_checking_after_seconds': 5}] 
Tuning completed after 12.4 seconds. Display was None, application (com.apple.atve.amazon.appletv) was running. 
On screen text: '“tv formula 1 - baku city circuit baku  =d -  a et ee  ee af ey ee ete wt soy'

@bhnf suggested in the OliveTin thread where we were originally discussing getting this all working that maybe there are some tweaks that could be made to Tesseract OCR to more accurately read the text in those buttons @turtletank

Thanks for the heads up. I will take a look.

I've got something coming soon for Spectrum that will make managing it in ADBTuner and Roku Bridge much, much, much easier, but in the meantime you can see the configurations I'm using:
