[HOOBS on Rpi4] Nvidia Shield not showing up

[LaNouille974]

Hi there!

Thanks for this plugin! :-)

I've installed the plugin through HOOBS (Raspberry Pi 4, up to date) web interface and then installed ADB: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot

It seems to connect well to my Shield (after enabling dev mode and debugging over network):

hoobs@hoobs:~ $ adb connect 192.168.1.176
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
connected to 192.168.1.176:5555
hoobs@hoobs:~ $ adb -s 192.168.1.176  shell "getprop ro.product.model"
SHIELD Android TV

I currently use the following config file in HOOBS interface:

{
    "platform": "HomebridgeADB",
    "accessories": [
        {
            "name": "SHIELD Android TV",
            "interval": 1000,
            "ip": "192.168.1.176",
            "playpauseobutton": "KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE",
            "backbutton": "KEYCODE_BACK",
            "infobutton": "KEYCODE_HOME",
            "inputs": [
                {
                    "name": "YouTube",
                    "id": "com.google.android.youtube.tv"
                },
                {
                    "name": "Netflix",
                    "id": "com.netflix.ninja"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Sadly, after many things done (upgrading HOOBS, restarting the Rpi4, and so on), I stille can't see my Shield...

I've also noticed this error in HOOBS' logs, but haven't any idea on how to solve it nor identify the root cause.

18/01/2021 à 23:19:40 [HomebridgeADB] Cannot initialize. Type: object 

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong plz?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Replying to myself: I finally got it to work by just putting the "accessories" array in the plugin's configuration textarea.

So only:

[
        {
            "name": "SHIELD Android TV",
            "interval": 1000,
            "ip": "192.168.1.176",
            "playpauseobutton": "KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE",
            "backbutton": "KEYCODE_BACK",
            "infobutton": "KEYCODE_HOME",
            "inputs": [
                {
                    "name": "YouTube",
                    "id": "com.google.android.youtube.tv"
                },
                {
                    "name": "Netflix",
                    "id": "com.netflix.ninja"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]

instead of the platforms object as shown in my previous comment.

I've figured it out thanks to this thread: https://github.com/dwaan/homebridge-adb/issues/13

Thank you

Wopé l'ami ! Je suis désolé, c'est loin tout ça, j'ai abandonné HOOBS depuis longtemps pour passer sur HomeAssistant : plus puissant, plus facile à utiliser et extrêmement bien documenté + grosse communauté. A mon avis, tu gagnerai à considérer cette option. C'est tout simple à installer sur un Raspi grâce à l'image. Désolé de ne pas pouvoir t'aider. Bon courage et bonne année à toi. Nartrouvé :-)
