Hi Barry,

I love the crazy ideas :)

To be honest it is a feature I'd really like to add, but is it feasible? How would we be able to enter blind levels etc with a remote control? I know people can connect a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, but Google will demand from me that the entire app is usable with just the remote.

At the moment i don't have an Android TV, so I can't test it myself. However I do have a Chromecast, never thought of trying with that. Something to look into indeed.

Thanks!

Alex

Many apps require input, such as searching on Netflix, and a keyboard pops up for use with the remote. I don't really know how that's done from your end, though, I just know it happens (you know us silly users). 

I was thinking the backup and restore function would be ideal to get a Blind Structure in place, or connecting through the network feature. But, yes, it would need the input function. 

Bear in mind a chromecast can only mirror a device (haven't thought to try that), but building in casting would be even better; especially a background cast. 

*Installing* HPTM would be on a "Chromecast with GoogleTV" (great device, love mine entirely). Or a Firestick. Or a SmartTV powered by Android {meaning it has GoogleTV, like the CCwGTV). 

And, of course, column edit would still be cool. 🙂

Thanks, Barry 

Hi Barry,

I've enabled support for Android TV, and it got approved by the Play Store, so it should work now on your Google TV?

I'll check it out, thanks!!
