My Home Assistant Android Remote TV integration broke recently on my HA instance and I can no longer integrate it with my Shield Pro. The HA integration asks for the IP of the Shield Pro, but the cursor just spins and it never connects. I tried rebooting my Shield Pro and tried looking in the Developer Options, but I can't find anything obvious that was disabled.

I was previously using the integration to switch my LG TV to the HDMI 3 source when my Shield Pro was turned on. Then, when I put the Shield Pro to sleep, I had another automation that switched my LG TV back to the Cable TV source (HDMI 1) and re-sent the sound through my soundbar, since LG TVs default to TV speaker sound.

With the integration broken, the automations are no longer working. Could the most recent Shield Experience update have broken it?

Since Kodi recently updated on my Shield TV, the RAR addon is not working properly.

When trying to load.a RARed video, I get spinning disks and nothing plays. I then need to reboot the Shield. Once in a while, the video will actually take forever then start playing.

Anyone know of a fix? TIA.

Edit: I deleted the Kodi cache and data under Apps, unistalled and reinstalled Kodi and this did not fix it.

I have a Bravia7ii remote which will also control my Nvidia Shield Pro. I have Button Mapper installed on my Shield and successfully changed the behaviour of the Netflix button on my Shield remote.

I would like to change the 6 app buttons on my Bravia remote to start apps on my Shield. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Bravia remote natively controlled the Shield so it would be handy if I could reassign the app buttons.

When I press an app button, eg Crunchyroll, it tells me the app is not installed. If I install BM on my Bravia Google TV and enable Bypass system UI, I can remap the button to start an app in Google TV. If I do the same on my Shield, I still get the app not installed message.

My Bravia remote seems happy enough controlling my Shield. Is there a way I can get Button Mapper on the Shield to amend the response to app buttons on my Bravia remote?

(So, just to be clear, I’m trying to do this on my Shield. This post was removed on r/AndroidTV by MODS who saw the words Google TV and said it should be posted in that sub)

Using a Shield without Google Play Store, is it still possible to buy and download Channels for HDHomerun apk somehow?
Thanks
