I had a look at one of these at lunchtime and I have to say, I'm impressed. I am particularly intrigued with the remote feature and I just wondered if this scenario is possible. Would I be able to link it to my Sky box and then set on screen buttons for the channels I wanna watch so I would have a button for BBC One HD (141) for instance.
Would that be possible?
Thanks in advance

Does your sky box have a remote? If there isn't a built in profile you can use the remote to teach the commands to the Sony remote and create your macro for the channel you want

OK, yes it has a remote. There seems to be very little information available on this. Does nobody use it for this feature?

Hi,
Does anyone know if the ir remote app supports macros(aka: Activities).
If you are aquainted with the Harmony remotes you know what I'm talking about.
E.g. Activity "Watch TV" would do:
1.Turn TV on
2.Turn Set Top Box on
3. Set correct TV input
4. etc. etc...
Another thing, and sorry if this has been answered already.. Can we also control PS3 with the remote app?
Hi,
I have a harmony remote too, but there's currently no option in the tablet remote software to set up events (switch on tv, switch on amp, turn tv channel to hd1, for example). It's a straight remote control app. Hopefully this might change in future updates?
The ps3 uses bluetooth, and this remote is infra-red, so this native app cant control it. Maybe through an iv-bluetooth decoder, but not straight from the box.
No. The remote software is the simplest remote function. It does not support activies.
I read somewhere though that you can have it learn the macro when you use the learning feature. It can learn the commands from your remote, and it was mentioned that macro can be learned as well. Will test it later on tonight....

Any luck with this?
IR activities alternative
I found this workaround on the US Sony Forum.
forum.sel.sony.com/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=11159
Still need to check it out myself.
Sorry can not post URL (just yet)
Grtz
I was also disappointed that it didn't recognise my Panasonic Air Conditioner Ir remote.
In this day and age it's also amazing that it doesn't have a link to an online library of remotes people have already taught it...
Any devs out there... that's my wish list... oh yeah maybe a night vision app that uses the IR as a night light
The remote can learn any sort of remote cntroller. I've used the tablet to learn my York Air-con and my fan. It works for both of them.It takes time to learn the remote function. You have to try several times.
Its the best tablet so far.

I was wondering if there are any good applications which would make use of the IR blaster on my HTC ONE
for example TV remote control apps
because i searched the net and couldn't find any good app that works with HTC ONE'S IR Blaster

I'm just using the included "TV" app and it's working excellent. Not only does it give you Remote functionality, but also will pull in your provider's channel guides/listing for your viewing pleasure
irdroid or androidirc,
you can google it ,to find the right site to download, i did'nt find any application in google play

Honestly, Sense TV app that comes with the phone, does a real good decent job as a Remote app.

OP's question is still relevant. Until we have market apps that utilize the IR blaster, this is yet another feature that's dependent upon using a Sense-laden ROM.
Look up peel on the playstore... I haven't used it yet but it's supposedly used with devices with an ir port.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.peel.app
Ha gave a link anyway...
I'm looking for alternatives too, the built in App doesn't support my denon receiver and I can't seem to figure out how to tell the remote I want to use the menu button on my TV sometimes and not my DVR.
Not sure of any apps, but there are workarounds to your problems. Create completely separate remotes for your devices when you don't want overlap, or if it's just one button that overlaps you can map that to one of the buttons on the HTC remote app that you aren't using (for me, that's the "." button on the number pad).
Will the remote app still not support your receiver if you do it the hard way (programming each button)? Or is just that you would rather not have to go through that (understandable).

I'd rather not have to program each button. I'm longing for the Harmony folks releasing a remote app. Activity based remotes are awesome.
I'm actually looking for an app that will mimic the Apple Remote so that I can control my Macbook with it.
I am just looking for an app that will skip all the programming BS and just left me use it as a remote. I don't have any service as I use 100% streaming and downloading for my content. Also simple functions like power/input take extra button presses. Should be much easier than it is.

The problem with this is it requires a separate hub and doesn't make use of the built-in IR blaster. I too yearn for a Harmony-like app that makes use of my IR blaster...

[APP][IR][ALPHA] ONE To Remote Them All
Found this one. Doesn't work for aosp that I can tell though.
Sent from my ONE CM10.1
the ir blaster prbly will never work on asop. it is missing the required drivers for it.
So here's my bright idea (*note May not be an original idea)
I have a tablet I'd like to use as a back seat media player in my car. Kids are too young to operate. I would like to be able to sit in the passenger seat, pick up my phone, and select a movie to stream to the tablet. What app will do that?
I tried googling but all I can come up with are controlling your desktop or tv with your phone and controlling your phone from your desktop.
Can't you do such things with bluetooth?
I am not sure myself is the reason for the ?.

Xperia phones have a " throw" option. U can throw videos using wifi.
Hi, Im missing universal remote on Note 4. There is Peel remote but it does not contain my VIDO TV and there is no function to just place buttons on layout and map them with original tv remote like on LG Gx phones... is there any 3rd party app that allows it? Cant find one...
Don't know the answer but try this one. It may program with original remote?

ok, I will try ir right now. On LG G2/G3 I had I could just make layout of buttons and point original TV remote to map each button.
Ok, I tried it but not good :/ It has function to record your own remote but its like phone does not receive beam from original remote :/ when select other TV from list e.g. Samsung, everything works :/ maybe note 4 does not has function to receive beam like lg g2/g3 ? :/

In my opinion Peel remote is the best. I am using a JVC 32" tv, only volume and power works at default configuration. But u can troubleshoot the button values. Mine is working at 3rd set of values for the channel change and numbers.
Has anyone tried casting to a Roku tv or screen share to one? Just found out the p6 wont do it and I can't seem to find an app to do it.
Pixel doesn't support miracast for screen mirroring. You can cast from inside some individual apps (I think youtube, netflix,) and the Roku app will allow you to cast photos and music from inside the app.

Which video caster. I just installed a dozen or so of them and it will hit all my google devices but not the roku.
I used to use All Cast to mirror to Roku - there's a Roku app you install and send it using the all cast app. Originally made by Koush, the legend! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.cast I haven't used it in a while.

What are you attempting to cast?
I know for something like Plex, you have to have the Plex app installed on the TV and then your phone acts as the "remote" controlling it.
On my 3 blue line. I don't know how but on Android 12 pixel dust I was able to screen mirror to me Roku ultra. Now I'm on pixel dust 13 and nothing but a bootloop when I try. I wish I could figure out what made it work
You can cast from inside some individual apps (I think Speed Test youtube, netflix,) and the Roku app will allow you to cast photos and music from inside the app.
I've been using AllCast for a fair while, and it seems to stream to anything I come across.
Might work for you!

I don't know for sure but I wouldn't think so.
Castify. Or if you have a Roku Ultra. Or any I assume that you can insert a Flash drive - USB drive into. Create a text file. Get the link to the video. Not the webpage so a .m3u8 .ts type link like
https://server15.pelispluscdn.info/newhls/da2d03aaa61c8a07197a4edda0b89733/EP.6.0.v0.1679315043.m3u8
You can just type the link and save it as any name .m3u such as TV.m3u. If you want to add multiple you can at least on mine. Or make it
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF-
https://server15.pelispluscdn.info/newhls/da2d03aaa61c8a07197a4edda0b89733/EP.6.0.v0.1679315043.m3u8

either way works on mine as long as the USB drive is fast enough.
If course If you post a link to a website it's not going to work. The same link it sends with castify is the link you need.
You may need to insert the drive a couple times just hit the * button while at the screen that shows the drive and any DNA servers not the files inside. Turn on Search internet for thumbnails and request file type on start. Then select the USB drive and hit stay again. Make sure you search all media type and playlist mode is on. The m3u will show up as an audio playlist and you can select the link to play a stream.
I attached the same file I clicked on in the video I am attaching. Change the file extension to .m3u and give it a try. If your don't have USB support. Then I don't know how else besides Castify or Rcast. I am curious to know if this works for you tho. It loads slowly but this method will read a m3u playlist for tv as long as it's not a playlist that includes VOD and way to many channels. I took my playlist and edited out all the links for the TV streams and made each channel its own file so it loads the list quickly.
