start shows 200 success but nothing happens on device

arraylabs commented 8 years ago

latest master, using the start endpoint gives a 200 success message but the app doesn't start. The stop command works.

Which app do you try to start? I tried it with Kodi and Chrome and it worked. Perhaps your app has no splash intend?

arraylabs commented 8 years ago

Tried Netflix and mlbtv. Neither opened or showed in the running endpoint. Will try with kodi.

juliangeiges commented 8 years ago

Ok, it should work with Kodi but i will check Netflix tomorrow. I think is has something to do with a wrong intent. I think i have to fix a few lines....

juliangeiges commented 8 years ago

Hey, i found the problem with Netflix. It`s main activity is named different than kodi: com.netflix.ninja/.MainActivity

I will now try to implement a function which searches for correct starting activity with given package.

Great, will give it a shot once it gets merged (think thats the term, I'm kinda terrible with git).

All, netflix works properly now. Also tried playstation vue and it works great at well. Any thoughts on why SPMC might not work? I actually get a forbidden message when trying to start SPMC via the endpoint.

FYI, between home assistant and my echo & dot I can start apps directly by voice (i use a harmony smart hub and not the firetv remote plus i don't have to press and hold the voice button)!!

Try XBMC ;) it works well :) I'dont know why SBMC doesn't work. I don't have that app on any of my fire Tv's so I can't test it at the moment. What kind of forbidden message do you get? Are you shute that you used the correct package name?

@juliangeiges i get a 403 forbidden "You don't have the permission to access the requested resource. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server." Using "com.semperpax.spmc16" as app name, this is how its listed on the running endpoint.

juliangeiges commented 8 years ago

did you tried it with: com.semperpax.spmc?

arraylabs commented 8 years ago

@juliangeiges Yes i did try that but that gives a 500 server error and errors on the server console, specifically:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/firetv/__init__.py", line 175, in launch_app mainActivity = self._mainActivity(app) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/firetv/__init__.py", line 277, in _mainActivity return self._adb.Shell(('pm dump {0} | grep -A 1 "MAIN" | grep {0}').format(app)).strip().split(" ")[1] IndexError: list index out of range

I'm getting 404 Not Found when trying to start an application, but no problems when getting the state of an application. Any pointers?

@juliangeiges found the issue, its the regex in main.py and the "16" in the app name. Changing it to "valid_app_id = re.compile('^[A-Za-z0-9.]+$')" seems to allow it to work.

juliangeiges commented 8 years ago

@arraylabs nice :) I never looked at this method as it was already given. Do you want to make the pr or should I?

arraylabs commented 8 years ago

@juliangeiges if you don't mind doing it that would be great, I'm just starting to learn git and github and am still a bit confused on how everything works. Could probably figure it out but don't want to mess anything up and cause issues for you or happyleaves.

juliangeiges commented 8 years ago

@arraylabs Ok, i will do that as soon i have time. Nevertheless don`t be shy... github is learning by doing :)
