    Moonlight (Gamestream) mod for Metadata + Play Next + Loading Screen and In-Game Menu

    Posted: 30 Dec 2019 05:34 PM PST

    Hello! I had some spare time during my Christmas break and wanted to share this mod I made for Moonlight. I've always had some personal nitpicks with Gamestream and Moonlight both, so I made this mod to address some of those issues. I'll list the main changes below:

    -New loading screen while the game loads.

    -New in-game menu to toggle mouse, keyboard or to quit the game. (long press Start to activate)

    -New icons. These are made to match a branch for Kodi I made as well, so everything matches on my system.

    -Metadata added for Android TV's channels feature. Scraped from https://www.igdb.com/.

    -All Games are now added to the Android TV channel the moment the games list is loaded from inside the app. Games are added to Play Next whenever a game is launched.

    -A new option has been added to Advanced Settings: Only import games that end with "_shield".What does this do? Any game in Geforce Experience that doesn't end with "_shield" will be ignored. This is useful to get rid of duplicate entries from Geforce Experience whenever you have a custom game shortcut in the Shield tab yet Geforce Experience already auto-added its own shortcut. Since Geforce Experience doesn't allow you to blacklist certain games, this is a workaround.

    The way I use this is I add ALL games I want to appear on the Shield to the Shield tab, append the "_shield" to the title and that's it, only games explicitly in the Shield tab will appear. As an example of how to use this: If you have Dark Souls in the Shield tab, rename it to Dark Souls_shield.

    Another minor change is the character sequence " - " is now replaced with ": " So, Divinity - Original Sin II will appear as Divinity: Original Sin II.

    Planned Features:
    Probably none. This is really made as a personal project that I'm sharing for the heck of it in case others find it useful as is. I may make a new UI for the in-app sections, as there are only a few screens and it would wrap the whole project up nicely. That being said, the way I use this now is everything is powered by the Android home screen, so there's really no reason to enter the PC list view or Game list view. Games are selected from the home screen, played, and exited back to the home screen.

    That being said if you notice any glaring issues/bugs, please feel free to let me know and I'll see what I can do.

    Live Channels app wont show Network TV Tuner as source (HDHomeRun)

    Posted: 31 Dec 2019 07:00 AM PST

    Hello,

    I've been struggling for a while to get the "Network TV Tuner BETA" to show up in my source list in the Live Channels app. Does anyone have any tips for getting it to show up? I can play everything fine through the HDHomeRun source with in the Live Channels app but not get the Tuner option to show up.

    I saw someone suggesting : Uninstall updates to the live channels app, then update it again. Clear cache and data in the app. Reboot the shield. This as well as m making sure that the wasn't any internal storage.

    I've tried many combinations of this will no luck. Is there anything network-wise that could be blocking this?

    Tuner: HDHomeRun : (HDHR4-2US)

    Tuner Firmware: 20190715beta1

    AndroidTV: NVIDIA Shield TV (2017)

    OS: Android TV 8.0 (Shield Experience 8.0.1)

    Live Channels app version: 1.23.1(live_channels_20191030.00_RC03)

    EDIT: I did open a ticket with SiliconDust and they just said" There's a bug with the Network tuner that prevents it from showing up sometimes. Unfortunately, we are waiting for Google for a fix on that, and it's a low priority for them at the moment."

    Problem with returning to cable TV

    Posted: 30 Dec 2019 05:16 PM PST

    When im in the whole «menu section» of the Philips The One android TV, i want a easy way back to cable. So i know you could press source and then choose the hdmi, but for me that is the hard way (ha ha). So i tried pressing the TV Exit button on the remote, but it takes me straight to Google play movies, can i make it take me to the cable TV?

    TCL EP640 -IPTV links issue

    Posted: 30 Dec 2019 01:38 PM PST

    Recently I've bought the new TCL EP640 50" TV with the Android TV (version 9) on it. It's more than a decent TV - especially for its price - but the IPTV apps or links via stream casters do not open. I've tried many apps, even sideloaded ones but the streams do not start (even via Kodi plugins with Kodi being directly downloaded and installed from Google Play Store). The screen just stays black and the buffer goes on forever. Is there a way to make it work? BTW in-built Chromecast tends to work with everything but the IPTV links...
