Android TV support ? about roc-droid HOT 5 OPEN

make sure the app is in landscape mode

This part should be now fixed by #42

then try and navigate in the android emulator (or with a usb keyboard attached to a real phone) - only using cursor keys and and OK / cancel (enter / esc).

This part still needs a fix.

So I sideloaded it onto my nvidia shield and it Just Works, with the small exception of not being able to select / change target IP or press the start Sender button using a remote - using a trackpad ( virtual like the SHIELD app or manual ) worked fine, however.

The biggest downsides to this so far are the lack of ability to compensate for the ( very noticeable ) amount of latency ( compared to a bluetooth sound device's latency for which the system seems to automatically compensate during video playback ), and the requirement for a sender to target a receiver ( I'd love the choice to be a "host" that one or more receiving clients can simply listen to )

Fantastic work so far, this is as close as I've ever seen to a true wifi audio solution that actually works FROM android

As for me, unfortunately I don't have device to test, so I have no idea.

I'm willing to test.

For the UI part, make sure the app is in landscape mode, then try and navigate in the android emulator (or with a usb keyboard attached to a real phone) - only using cursor keys and and OK / cancel (enter / esc).

Nice :)

The app, also needs a couple of bits in the manifest to things to appear as a TV app in the launcher (details from https://developer.android.com/training/tv/start/start.html)

• Add the LEANBACK_LAUNCHER intent category
• Make the feature android.software.leanback not required (so it still works on non tv devices).
• Make android.hardware.touchscreen not required
• Add an android:banner (an xhdpi App icon 320x180px, "Test Must be included in the image").

Even without these it's possible to sideload it + test - I'll try and make some time to do so.
