Hi everybody
I have a Android based tablet(junpad, like flypad) that i have as a spotify player.
Now i woundering if ther is any apps that make it possible for me to use my galaxy s or laptop as a remotecontrol to change track etc, etc. have looked at Remote Web Desktop but i cant control spotify through that. And DroidMote Server does not work on the tablet for some reason.
So, is there any aps out there that fits me?
I can connect a wireless usb mouse to the tablet, but how cool is that? Would be nice with a app or something
No one knows anyting that can work?
I'm gonna drudge this up instead of starting a new thread. Same question. I would like to control Spotify from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with my Galaxy S III...
... also same questiion....
Did you get any further with this?
It would be great if Spotify could enable an option to play music on any other device (with the same user registered).
My best solution so far is with Spot Commander; an android application which controls a spotify server on a Linux netbook.
But I'd prefer to use an obsolete Android phone - since it would use much less power - also in stand-by. Another idea - perhaps the spot commander server application (which is Open Source) could be ported to the Raspberry Pi.
Media Remote
Media Remote by appshroom works but is pretty limited.
Hey folks,
Sorry to kick up an old thread, but I was Googling around to find the answer to the question posed above and I thought maybe answering this thread would help the next guy. It seems that if you want to control Spotify on Android from another Android, you can do so using DroidRemote. The downside to doing it this way is that it uses bluetooth.
I'd really prefer a way to do it via WiFi as its' range is higher and I don't have to turn on the bluetooth radio just for this purpose, which in turn consumes my precious mAh's. It'd also be dandy if I could use my Windows box to control Spotify on Android.
This Galaxy Tab 2 will do nicely as a Spotify player but controlling it remotely would be even more boss.
Hello,
Is there any new solution to remote control Spotify on tablet from a phone ? Is there no tweak available or mod ? Even if you root your phone / tab ?
Regards.

I second this question.
I have a small Minix as my spotify player connected to my TV and surround system. I have been searching forever for a solution that will allow me to control the Minix spotify session from my Nexus7 Tablet.
Any suggestions? Please!!!!!

We seem to be missing the required "Post your home screen" thread - so let me start it off !
Here's mine. I'm using HALauncher so that I can customize the home screen to my needs. I'm a big fan of HALauncher as it allows:
1 - Control over grouping and ordering. On the Shield default launcher, most-used apps go to the front of the line, so the order is always changing.
2 - Add sideloaded apps
3 - Add web page bookmarks
4 - Add wallpaper
5 - Add custom images for apps on launchers
Full Android V1.8 and I'm loving it. Takes the place of my main computer.

dat gocchumon wa usagi desuka wallpaper tho :laugh:
I figured I'd get in on this. This is my SATV home screen. I am using Next 3D launcher and Go Weather EX for the weather widget as the SATV doesn't have the ability to use system widgets, but Next launcher can use widgets specifically built for it like task manager, music, weather, switch, and a few others.
do you need to be rooted to use a launcher, or it just that you click on the luancher icon and then it opens the new menu interface and thats it?
up
do yo uguys mouse and keyboard to navigate? isnt that annoying and takes away from using the remote etc
WHEN you use a luancher is it default... how do you set it to be default
My home screen is just stock. But I too would like to know how you got these launchers to work? And do you have to use keyboard mouse or no?

Start by looking up a few reviews on YouTube and you will see the potential, pretty much play games, watch movie, TV, play music, really just about anything with the proper setup

how do you benefit from a full android experience?
I am using the sideloader and it seems to work well.
Launchers maybe?
Happy Shield TV Setup
Very happy with my Shield TV setup now.
I gave the stock experience a go for a good week before getting fed up of the limitations of Android TV, despite loving the well polished user interface.
Now running full Android 5.1 (v2.2 of zulu99's build), rooted with TWRP recovery and Xposed framework installed.
With a variety of Android TV apps sideloaded from apkmirror.com, I'm now pretty close to having everything which I had before on stock:
Slick, remote-friendly launcher: HALauncher (with lovely background / wallpaper images)
SHIELD Remote as primary input / control device, 90% functional (physical buttons, volume control, audio output when heaphones connected all work, microphone doesn't work yet)
Remote-friendly TV versions of Netflix, YouTube, BBC iPlayer, Emma for Spotify and SHIELD Hub / GeForce Now
Casting entire screen (or specific cast-enabled apps such as Netflix) from Android works and performs well enough to cast an entire movie
With all the numerous advantages of having full android, such as:
Multiple user accounts / profiles (my wife's Spotify plays no longer feed into my last.fm profile, thank god!)
Fully automated video downloading setup, thanks to Pushbullet, Advanced Download Manager and Tasker
Chrome web browser, for web browsing on your TV (finally!)
Casting screen from wife's Macbook Air and/or iPhone now works too, thanks to app "AirPlay Mirroring Receiver"
Thanks to all here who have helped get me to this stage! - primarily zulu99 for his full Android build, but everyone else who has helped by sharing tips/tricks to improve various bits of the experience.
The only thing left to get working as far as I'm concerned is the SHIELD Remote microphone.
This is a really frustrating one, as it's such a nice to have feature and really makes it feel like a futuristic device when you never need to type anything again - Google's voice recognition is outstanding.
I'm also at a bit of a loss as to what to investigate next with it; I've attempted to debug the remote from my PC but could only get it to create a single uni-directional A2DP channel for audio playback.
I guess I should start trying to dig through the kernel modules included in the stock system image.
Anyway, here's the top bit of my home screen:
and a few other screenshots showing the rest of the home screen, settings and the microphone issue.
How do you change the home launcher without changing away from stock.
Almost a real Android now!
@zulu99 Full Android 5.1 (v2.2 build), rooted with Nova Launcher. Still need to install Xposed framework and a few other bits, but getting close to having a real Android now!
Loving some of the setups you guys have! I'll have to get to work on setting mine up.

Hey,
how did you manage it to have the volume buttons of the Shield TV remote working?
I am also running zulus' Full Android and paired the remote with bluetooth but the volume buttons are not working...
Did you do anything special?
A working microphone would make it just perfect
Thanks!

I'm actually not entirely sure, the volume slider on the remote wasn't working for me initially either.
I had written it off as something that wasn't going to work, but then noticed it was working accidentally later on after I'd set up more apps.
I believe all I did between the time where it wasn't working and started working was:
Install a few apps made for Android TV (e.g. Netflix, BBC iPlayer, HALauncher, Emma for Spotify)
Disconnect and reconnect the controller a few times
Restart the Shield TV (NSTV) a few times
If you give the above a try and the volume controls on your remote are still not working, post in my other thread about the remote and I'll try and narrow down what's making it work for me!

Thanks for your support.
I will test that during the weekend
Are the volume buttons for you only working inside HAlLauncher or also in the "normal" Android Launcher?
Is there anyone that can write an app that removes HDMI checks for Android streaming apps that don't work on eg. Android tv boxes that has an HDMI Out connection?
Eg. You decompile an app and then nthe app can search the files in the decompiled app folder for HDMI intents and help you to remove them.
Or the app could run on Android and allow you to disable certain intents for selected apps like android.intent.action.HDMI_PLUGGED or HDMI_AUDIO_PLUG
like Autostart Manager in ROM Toolbox Lite app(that don't work correctly).
On KitKat there was an app called HDMI Virtual Switch that could hide the state of an HDMI connection.
http://freaktab.com/filedata/fetch?id=545672
But on Lollipop firmware that file's value gets changed back to a 1 immediately after you save it again.
echo "0">/sys/devices/virtual/display/HDMI/state
As soon as I do this it changes, but when I open the file, it jumps back to a value of '1' and is then disabled again.
The app will need to change this file and keep it like that without Android system changing it back to '1' automatically.
Or is there another solution to solve this problem?
The app can perhaps also try to remove
Proxy and VPN checks &
ADB Checks

for HDMI checks?
I'd also like an app like this. I have fire TV and trying to run Brighthouse TV app through it won't run because of being hooked to television through HDMI. I have a brighthouse subscription just trying to get away from paying $30 a month for their boxes, remotes etc
Anyone that has any tips on disabling HDMI checks? I'm sure there are lots of talented people here and there are lots of apps with HDMI checks that just won't work on Android TV Boxes.
The DirecTV app is a good example
Use SoundAbout app from playstore u can choose default route sound from speaker, hdmi, Bluetooth etc..etc.. like control panel on windows
I have a TX9 Pro and would like to be able to capture IR commands/keys from another remote to perform actions. For example, I would like to use the Guide key of my TV remote to launch DirecTV Now app etc. Searching has turned up only apps to turn an android device into a universal remote which is NOT what I am looking for. I know there is the remote.conf file but have no idea how to use that to capture a specific IR command and have it perform a specific command like launching a specific App. Any help appreciated.
good idea, any advanced now>?
I recently got the Mi Box (MDZ-16-AB) to replace my Charter Spectrum DVR because I have IPTV service now.. The slingbox I have that reencodes to a lower bit rate (I receive via mobile hotspot in taxi cab with slingplayer on amazon fire stick) isn't able to control the box fully. The custom remote bin file is very limited on control options (power, menu and directional/enter buttons work) but the back button that is greyed out is a button that gets used way too often...
I have a VPN to my house on my mobile internet, but yet the limited 'android tv remote' app won't realize I'm on a VPN and insists on me using wifi for it to access.. Is there a third party app for android TV that will let me input the IP or IP/Port info in to control it?
I have a 13TB NAS at home as well with pretty much the entire DVD and music collection backed up to it, with kodi installed and running on a second input on my slingbox, for which I can control over the VPN perfectly fine using yatze.. So I know controlling it should be possible.
If I can't control via this method then the only other option is doing fireTV and controlling via the fire app on my phone (as I can sign in and control any fire device on the account) regardless of being on wifi or VPN.
Vysor, paid version.
