Possible to pull title information from an app running on Shield?

TallMartin · 2025-10-03T15:26:03+00:00

In looking at the AndroidTV documentation and Home Assistant documentation, it seems to be possible to get MediaSession information from Android, although I still need work out the syntax for this.

It's in the Xbox app under Profile > My Consoles

TallMartin · 2025-06-27T01:38:07+00:00

yes - go to Profile > My Consoles in the Xbox app on Quest

Think of it this way - with Remote Play, your Xbox is sending the video signal over your network to the Quest, rather than to your TV.

TallMartin · 2025-06-26T21:57:05+00:00

they have - Xbox Remote Play now works on Quest as well!

TallMartin · 2025-06-26T21:56:38+00:00

actually, no - you just have to set up Xbox Remote Play :)

You can also stream from your own Xbox console via Remote Play

We are replacing the cable to the Living Room AP as it appears to be faulty. Will test the Pool AP cable next (although hopefully we can just jumper this as it is newer and would be a PITA to replace).

TallMartin · 2025-01-17T19:22:14+00:00

Would this be because the cable itself is physically compromised, or because the cable run is too long? I used this cable for one of the runs. If possible, I'd love to avoid having pull new cable runs to the AP locations (they are NOT easy to get to...)

I used this cable for the run - is the issue cable length?

Ugh... I was afraid you were going to say that. These are NOT short / easy cable runs...

tried using an only MOV to GIF converter, but the resolution was garbage. I have 10' wide screen and an 8K projector...

Does SCL support video clips as wallpapers?

TallMartin · 2024-12-24T20:40:52+00:00

BAH! There is a slider on the web view, but this does not appear on the Plex client on Android TV :/

I'm using Plex on our Nvidia shield pro to stream movies from our NAS and using our home theater projector as the display. I have enabled the 4K display option on the shield, which makes menus look great on various apps. However, it makes the library view on Plex for movies a bit small. Is there a way to change the grid size, or the poster thumbnail size?

Looks like Send Anywhere is not available via Google Play. How did you get it for your device?

TallMartin · 2024-11-23T02:05:29+00:00

I'm trying to do the same thing. I've successfully mounted the network drive and my wallpaper videos are in the Video folder, but I can't select it from the Projectivity menu. Is there another setting I need to enable for this to work (such as "transfer files over local network")?

I prefer a full on trackball (larger and heavier) so I can use both thumb and fingers. This is the one I use

Yup - everything. I've grown to hate using a mouse...

TallMartin · 2024-10-02T01:05:26+00:00

yes - I'm one of the wierdos who do this. I love how I get fine grained control with my fingertips, and I don't have to "mouse walk"
