I am estonished how less information I could find about that topic. Control a TV set via standard IR remote control is painful. Just think about type in a search word for the different apps.
Wouldn't it be much easier to use smartphone for this? I found in PlayStore quite a few apps that promise things like that, but I get non of them working. Most time they doesn't even find my Android TV, although all is in same net.
The only app I could found that does at least a little was the "Android TV Remote" (yellow icon) - but only after manually type in my IP. But it can just move curser a bit, so not so helpful.
I heard about Googles own app: "Android TV Remote Service".
RIP Android TV remote app, hello Google TV remote app
Out with the old, in with the new.

While I could found that app on PC google store, it was not available at smart phone? Why that. So I go for some other place to download as:

but couldn't install it.
Anyone has some ideas how to solve the problem?

Check this app. I'm currently using it and I find it quite useful
Any keyboard for Android TV which has full-size? I mean like hacker keyboard but support remote?
Use KDE Connect.
I'd recommend installing using "adb install -g" to grant all permissions except for accessability.

Have you got any solution? I am also looking for it.
I am trying to get all4 on my shield, I've tried many things but failing to do it lol.
OK so I've tried installing the apk I got from someone who backed it up for me from a fire tv but it seems like the apk was just a wrapper so it didnt work.
I have the amazon appstore installed but it recognises my device is not a fire TV device and won't let me install.
Is there a way we could spoof the amazon appstore to see the device as a fire tv or maybe spoof the device so apps think its a fire TV (if that makes sense).
So spoofing the amazon appstore I have an idea -
Using "app cloner" it has a build prop option to where you can modify the apk to see the device as what you wish by filling in the right build prop details for the device you want to spoof to.
Only thing is - I don't have a fire TV device to get the details so I can't try this yet. (If anyone had the details please let me know so I can try - just need to install app cloner and it will show you the info)
Can anyone help with this?
I also have a second problem I've been trying to deal with for years now lol.
There is an app called "notifications for android TV", what it does, is it send notifications from apps on your phone and displays them on the TV in a way where when you install the app on android TV the app auto installs as a server, when you install the same app on phone it asks you if you want to set up this phone as a server or client.
I used to run full android custom ROM on my shield TV, when I did I used app cloner to install 2 versions of this app and installed one as server and one as client so all the notifications were handled by my shield TV and I did not need a phone connected to send notifications - this is ideal. I'm love look ing to try do the same thing on stock nvidia firmware but every time it detects the app as android TV and doesn't you the option to install as a client.
I just need a way to spoof/mod the app to think its installing on a phone instead of android TV.
Can anyone help with this stuff, been bugging me for soo long now lol.
I just side loaded the mobile all4 application from apkpure.
Sure, you need to use a mouse to navigate it, but it works fine for me.
I should have mentioned I am looking for the fire TV version specifically as it is remote friendly. I have the version you are using already.
I'm quite familiar with sideloading regular Android apps that don't have an Android TV version, but is there any way to force an app that supports both to use it's mobile version for the Shield TV? I have a VPN through SurfShark that only provides a single apk, and the UI changes depending on if you install it on a phone or Android TV. Problem is on the Shield I'm missing a few features that the app has on my phone, namely the reverse whitelist (selecting only a few apps that use the VPN, everything else is left alone). Also in the SurfShark whitelist options it shows all the installed apps on my phone, but on the Shield many apps aren't listed (Prime TV, NHL, etc).
Apart from waiting for their dev team to fix the Android TV UI, the easiest fix would be to just install the mobile version on the Shield but I can't figure out a way to do that since it's just a single apk, and Google isn't helping either.

Soome app with that allinone package usually changed with how you launch it. Try launch it through sideload launcher usually load mobile one.
Until now I ran RetroPie on a Raspberry. Now I got a cheap TV box for basically free and was thinking why do I need 2 "boxes" sitting next to the TV? That is how I came across RetroArch. Installation on the TV box is straight forward - also starting. But that is where the fast track ended as I have a "Generic USB Controller". With a bit of luck and playing with the config file I was kind of able moving through the top menu but did not make it to any submenu. Also any USB/bluetooth keyboard that I have was not successful.
The trick is to know that RetroArch seems to be developed for touch screens. OK, give it a try and touch your TV I now have fingerprints on it but no reaction from RetroArch...
Step 1:
Grab any touch screen sensitive device you can get your hands on, e.g. smartphone, tablet, etc.
Download and install TeamViewer Remote Control
Step 2:
Fire up your Android TV box
Download and install TeamViewer Quick Support
IMPORTANT: Download and install the TeamViewer Quick Support Add-On
Step 3:
Start TeamViewer Quick Support on the TV box
Start TeamViewer Remote Control on your mobile/tablet/... and enter the ID from the quick support from your TV box
Agree to and approve to any questions
I could now control my TV box remotely via my 2nd device, started RetroArch and, in there, was able going through all menus and setup my "Generic USB Controller". After saving the setup/config (remotely), I could navigate through the menus as usual by only using the Generic USB Controller.
Note: This does not solve the problem with the controls in the games - in case you have them!
FAQ
Q: After entering the ID for the remote control I cannot connect to the TV box.
A: Install the Quick Support Add-On - that is needed to make the remote control work (at least it was for my case/setup).
Q: I cannot install the Quick Support Add-On.
A: If installation of the Add-On fails or is not possible directly from the app, either download the Add-On as seperate apk or give it a try via the full TeamViewer app.
Q: My controller is now working in RetroArch's menus but not in the games.
A: This is known challenge with RetroArch. My solution was just to get a foot in the door for controlling the menus in RetroArch in case that your controller/keyboard is not recognized by default.
Hello,
Up till now I was using Windows 10's Desktop Projection to mirror screen to my TV.
- it works phenomenally and I'm happy
However, I have another TV which isn't a smart TV, so I bought an android TV Box.
- The Android Box has a preinstalled Miracast app
I want to know a way to use my regular desktop projection to connect to Miracast but that Miracast asks me to confirm a password or PIN that only I know?
- I do not wish to install another app to my PC
- I am okay with installing apps similar to Miracast on my Android TV Box
On the internet I found various applications like LetsView, Reflector 4, AirServer, Mirroring360, ApowerMirror, ScreenBeam Configurator app, Wi-Fi Direct Password-Protected Transmitter, AnyDesk, Chrome Remote Desktop, Microsoft Remote Desktop, Miracast Widget & Shortcut app, Miracast Screen Sharing App, Connectify Hotspot, but I fail to realize the potential of all these and which one to pick based on details and preferences (the less clutter, the better. I only need the password protection option).
Is there any app that I can only install to my Android Box and use regular Desktop Projection to connect to it, but that it asks me for a PIN that I have to enter on the device which I am using to connect to that Android Box (in this case laptop)?
If not, what is the closest alternative?
Anyone?
