In the Shield integration it includes a list of app shortcuts. Is there anyway to modify this list to better align with the apps I have and regularly use?
Hi,
I have checked after Nvidia shield : there is indeed a nvidia shield application that lets retrieve the app list and launch any app based on the installed applications, BUT :
- Based on OpenHAB integration : there are 2 different integrations, one for (generic) android tv, and one for Nvidia shield
- The (generic) androidTV integration is not able to retrieve app list and launch any app that do not have any url scheme (also called deeplink), unlike the ShieldTV integration
- Afted digging more : I expected that the ShieldTV protocol was just the same as androidtv remote service with just additional commands, but it is a different protocol
So this would be a lot of work to do just to handle this only feature (retrieves app list and launch any of them), which would work only on the ShieldTV. I can say this because I tried and I gave up
The culprit is the poor google implementation of android remote service, against the AppleTV for example that is capable of a lot more : apps list retrieval and selection, current media artwork, duration/position…

Hi,
at this moment not. The list is fixed in apps.py in the Android TV integration. If you start an external integration you can add/delete whatever you want. Problem is sometimes to find the way to start an app. I managed to add a few but I still fail starting the Dune HD MediaManager.

Does anyone know if there is an integration for the Nvidia Shield Pro and if so the link to it. Thank you
NVidia Shield can be controled by Android TV or Bluetooth.
