My server PC is in the basement. The 4-port HDMI encoder with Onn sticks is on the 2nd floor near my office where I can operate the sticks with the remotes, via VLC windows. I'm not sure the Onn remotes would reach the basement.
Good afternoon, and thank you for all the work put into this app. I have the app set up, and my provider is Spectrum. Since Spectrum doesn't use deep links, I have it configured to use keypress tuning. The keypresses work fine with the provider, but the channel setup doesn't seem to pass them through to the app. Is there anything I might be able to try to get this working? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
Show me an example channel macros setup you are using along with the provider settings you are using for Spectrum.
What setup are you using for the tuners?
These are the settings for the provider.
This is the setup for one of the channels.
I am using an Nvidia Shield TV for the tuner. I also tried a Chromecast with Google TV.
Your package name should be com.spectrum.stva.androidtv
Your Activity should be com.spectrum.stva.androidtv.ui.HostedMainActivity
You shouldn't need a URL Template since it is a macros tune.
How are you connecting the Nvidia Shield to the app? What are your Tuner settings?
Do you have it in developer mode?
These are my tuner settings:
Yes, the Nvidia Shield is in developer mode.
The Spectrum app will launch, but it won't tune the channel.
If I add the macros to tune the channel to the Provider settings it will tune the channel just fine.
Even after you add the correct Package Name and Activity to the provider?
Yes, even after I added the correct Package Name and Activity to the provider.
I do not have a spectrum account to test it with. The tuning sequence should fire. The provider pre-tune should be empty unless it requires the home and enter keys before using the tuning macros.
The only difference I see from the pre tune and the tune is I have a string check that looks for words like error that would abort the tune. I am going to upload the next version with the string check removed so we can see if that is what is causing the issue. I'll have it compiled in just a little while.
I have it released as a pre-release. See if this works for you and I will adjust the string check in the final release.
Thank you for all your help. Removing the keypresses from the provider pre-tune and leaving it empty fixed the issue. It is working as expected now. Again, thank you for all your help!
Awesome. So, you didn't need the updated version? Are you still on v5.1.2?
Correct. I am still on v5.1.2.
Thank you.

v5.1.3 Release
- Added Restart ADB Server Button
- Added Auto-Reconnect on Wi-Fi Drops
- Splash Screen Blackout Duration Fix
- Added Textarea for Channel Macros Tuning Box
If you get it working and have your channels set, I would appreciate it if you sent me a backup config of your channels so I can add that to the macros channel packs for the next person that may need it. Thanks
I inadvertently left the tuning blackout fix off the 5.1.3. I just re-uploaded the 5.1.3 built to the release instead of making a new release.
