fire tv/google tv functionality

Issue #12 new
Former user created an issue

Everything with the app works great with a mouse, but I cannot select the hd/sd toggle or play live stream using the fire tv remote. Could you add this functionality?

    I have this problem as well. Since the dev seems to have stopped updating this app I had a look at the code. I added this to each onCreateView for both LiveStreamsAc

            mLv.setItemsCanFocus(true);
    

    This allows each game in the lists to be expanded and you can now select a game and press play from the fire tv remote. It still does not show the cursor on the game but it does work. @brockoli I would be interested in continuing development of this app. It needs some UI updates for sure!

    You're definitely welcome to fork this and update it, but the reason I'm not updating this code is because I'm about to release a completely new HSDroidV2 app that's been completely rewritten. The new app has Chromecast support, and a new look and feel. I still have a lot of work to do on the new app, but it's already significantly better than this one. I can add you to my alpha testers if you're interested @schmustang Just let me know what email address you want me to send builds to.

    Awesome. That's great to hear! I'd definitely be interested in alpha testing. bradenschmidt {at} gmail {DOT} com For device reference I use a Fire TV and an LG G3.

    Hi brockoli, If you would like additional testers, I have a a sony NSZ-GS7 that would love to get some use if you have planned for such devices. If not I can always fork to it.

    Let me know, Cheers!

    @chidychi I'd be happy to add you to the alpha test group for HSDroidV2. No idea how it will run on Google TV, but you're welcome to try it. I'm not making the source open for this one just yet though. Send me an email at robwoods.edbrock at gmail

    Branden, did you create your folk or have you got the v2 alpha to work on your fireTV? I have a fireTV Stick and can't get either v1 or the v2 alpha to select any games.
