Make it work in Google TV #1

Closed mohsen1 closed 10 years ago

How hard is it to make it work in Google TV?

DSteve595 commented 11 years ago

I would love to make it work on Google TV, and I actually have one for testing. I want to get it as stable and full-featured as possible on phones and tablets (my comfort zone) before I bring it to the TV, though. But I definitely think it’d be awesome having put.io on a TV, so I’ll get on it hopefully soon!

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

Not gonna do this. Platform seems to be abandoned in favor of Chromecast, which I will support.

serkanyersen commented 10 years ago

Google TV is not being abandoned, it's becoming the Android TV. Plus many users already have a Google TV and this application would be really useful there. As far as I know tablet version should work just fine, can't you at least put a download link to your testing version?

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

Is the app in the store for TVs? I never disallowed it to be installed. Maybe I need to change something in the store listing or manifest.

serkanyersen commented 10 years ago

It says device is not supported, changing the manifest should do the trick as long as it's not requiring any permissions that are not supported by Google TV. https://developers.google.com/tv/android/docs/gtv_android_features#Hardware

@DSteve595 if your app has required dependency to any of these Google Play will mark it as incompatible with Google TV

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

Yep, I see that. Before I push it, would somebody mind testing it on their TV? It should just use the tablet interface.

serkanyersen commented 10 years ago

I can test it, but how? is there an apk?

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

I'll build one in a second.

Let me know how it goes!

serkanyersen commented 10 years ago

Just tried it, but it didn't work. It says "Unfortunately, Put.io has stopped."

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

Are you able to give a stack trace?

mohsen1 commented 10 years ago

I'm able to run the emulator with this guide: http://waynemay.com/installing-and-configuring-the-google-tv-emulator/

Problem now is that I have tons of "problems"! screen shot 2014-01-29 at 1 42 21 pm

Looks like you're missing the appcompat-v7 library. I'm going to try to get the emulator working again later.

LeFauxMatt commented 10 years ago

While this isn't exactly Google TV support, if your device supports CheapCast then Chromecast support will effectively enable this request. (CheapCast allows any Android device to function as a Chromecast receiver).

I just got an Android TV (Bravia), I get Put.io working and i see it's selected the video, it's says it playing, but it doesn't show any picture. Is this working? Happy to help with debugging. Thanks.
