I don't have a Shield (though I kinda wish I did, given your glowing reports) but is it possible to remap stuff using the built-in sageTV "Commands" menu in the detailed setup?
I've got a 2015 Fire TV, and it works pretty well, but it software transcodes nearly everything (I have only OTA stuff) and the 1080i stuff isn't deinterlaced. So everything is watchable, but you have to ignore combing effects. (And I wouldn't mind having a few extra remote buttons) |

As for button mappings, I'm not sure what the sagetv one does... Likely it's an IR to SageTV command mapper, and it won't work for this case. The challenge when doing a mapping for this client, is that in order to make a 5 button remote work well, it needs to know the state of the application, and make decision based on that. So, right now, using the nvidia remote, I can pretty much do everything, and it works somewhat intuitive. If I'm watching a video and I press select, it was pause/play, but if I bring up a dialog over the video and press select it will send enter. All of that logic is pretty hard coded right now, which makes creating a button mapper even harder. It's on my TODO list though. (not sure if I ahve an issue for this or not, if not, you can add one)

Ok, so I had to post something on this today. I installed RC2 on my 1st gen fire tv (ethernet connected) which had recently seen the upgrade to fireos 5.0.5 and I am very impressed. I'm still running sage 7 as the server but plan to upgrade to 9 when I have more time. Most of my watching consists of OTS TV through HDHomerun Duals (so 1080i/720p mpeg2) and my ripped movies.
The icons are fixed (which I'm sure had more to do with the upgrade of the os than anything you did), the blocky pixelation on what I think was 720p recordings which I attribute to the ijk hardware decoding of mpeg2 is fixed. 1080i content is very watchable, with some minor artifacts, but I think it is probably as good as it will get without a mpeg2 hardware deinterlacer. Comskip was working. I tried playing a blueray rip of Planet Earth and it played but it seemed like the video wasn't quite keeping up with the audio. I'll play around with it some more when I have time, but right now I definitely would consider this ready for the family to use. For those videophiles out there I don't think you will be pleased with this app on the 1st gen fire tv, you are probably going to want to spring for something with all the requesent hardware decoders (sounds like the Shield is the one to beat right now), but for the average joe, that wants to put this on a secondary tv, I think the 1st gen firetv with this app works pretty well. Thanks Sean for all the great work on this. Last edited by odledm; 02-29-2016 at 05:53 AM. Reason: left out is fixed when describing the 720p mpeg2 behavior |

Just tried using Exoplayer in RC 2 on my HDPVR recordings and video now plays. Only thing missing is sound. My HDPVR recordings are using the SPDIF connection. Don't know if that's what's making the difference between sound in IJK and no sound in Exo...

So, unless you need audio passthough, I'd use IJK.

Can 2nd gen FireTV proplerly deinterlace mpeg2 with latest system update? 1st gen wasn't great although I haven't checked it after latest system update

Stuckless, thank you for your awesome work on this. I have been checking in on the progress of the android miniclient for months now and testing occasional builds on my Nexus 5. It works so well on my Nexus 5 that I decided to pull the trigger on a Shield TV. So, my questions while I wait on my Shield are:

When you side load apps on android, they show up like any other app. In my setup, I use IJKPlayer that doesn't support audio passthrough... If you need audio pass through, you'll want to change the player to use ExoPlayer. I use IJKplayer because it's really solid player. I find Exo to be a little less reliable. I have no idea when/if we'll get audio passthrough working for ijkplayer.

Well, I got my Shield TV and am having mixed results with the MiniClient. Exoplayer does not work at all in my setup. Video freezes pretty much immediately and there is no sound. My DVRed shows are in mpeg2 format (.mpg extensions) in 720p and 1080i formats. IJK Player seems to play back pretty well, but there is no audio passthrough. My movie collection does not play at all on either player. They are all DVD rips (.VOBs). Perhaps these are known issues that I missed earlier in the thread? Let me know if there is anything I can provide on the issues.

I tried to use ExoPlayer for a couple weeks on my .ts recordings. It would randomly fail to play some recordings, but work fine on others, and there is no real reason for it The VOB isn't an issue, so much as it's not going to be supported (I'm pretty sure it's come up before in another posts). I don't intend to write a DVD player for android I did speak to Jeff about this, since he did just that for HD300... but it's not a trivial task, and as such, it's not something that I'll likely tackle (at least not in the short term). At some point, I might look at seeing if I can do something like have it play the largest track, but, doing full DVD menus is not likely to ever happen.

Bummer about the DVD rips. Guess I can just use Kodi for those. Most of my rips don't have menus, but I never bothered with compressing them since my collection is humble and I have the hard drive space. Is there a "lossless" compression format you would recommend for video similar to .flac for music files? File size is not as important as quality and 5.1 sound to me.

One more thing I forgot to ask: Do you think server version impacts video playback at all? I am still running 7 and not 9.
Thanks again. I really appreciate all of your work on this.

I don't think the server version, at this point, would make much difference in the streaming. I've done a couple of minor server changes, but they are mostly for helping with the "dumb" remotes.

Replying here rather than the client comparison thread..
I just tried RC2 with exoplayer on my shield (running the new Android 6.0 build). Whenever I play any of my recordings, there are a few seconds of motion, and then a still image then some motion, etc. It is like the client is bogged down in a high CPU use state, or lock contention or something. The receiver goes nuts (clicking into surround sound mode, and out of it). The same recordings play just fine with the default player. I tried enabling / disabling native refresh/resolution, as well as the streaming method (dynamic vs pull), This is with a v7 server. Drew

Also, if you haven't rebooted the Shield in a few days, try rebooting, and see if that helps. CPU shouldn't be an issue here, since the file is using hardware decoder (or else it wouldn't play), but, it could be network. Are you WIFI or Wired? Also, Sage7 should be OK for the server.

So I have successfully sideloaded the android miniclient. and what can i say? *WoW*
Thank you so much for making this! I left sage a couple years ago because most of my extenders died. As I told my brother "I can come home now!" I forsee a few more Nexus Players in my future, and possibly converting my mom back to sage tv as well.
