Sportsnet launcher not working #407
Comments
Greetings @darbuthnot! Thanks for letting me know about this! As you might already know, there are over 215 apps and functions that Firemote can handle, so the only way I can really keep each and every one of them working properly is by receiving reports like yours. So, THANK YOU! With that being said, I am going to need some help from you, if you can. When this was first added (issue #352) the launcher command was working. At that time, although I was not able to install this through the Google play store in my region, I was able to download / sideload the .apk file and install it to make sure it worked properly. Today, the Google Play Store regional block is still in effect: and it looks like the most recent update for this app was posted on... Today, I have not been able to find an updated .apk to download and test as I did the first time. APK Mirror has one that works, but it was from March 13, 2024. I tried that one again, and the current Firemote button works. No help there. The only other versions I could find were from APK Combo (Apr 30, 2024) and APK Pure (May 6, 2024) but unfortunately those options are designed for mobile platforms, not Android or Fire TV. So, now I need your help. Can I ask you to follow the procedure outlined in this linked article and post your results here? They will likely look similar to this, but with a slight difference:
Thanks again for your report, and your willingness to troubleshoot! -Doug |
np Doug....here you go: adb_response: mSurface=Surface(name=com.rogers.sportsnet.tv.firetv/com.rogers.sportsnet.tv.ui.AppActivity) |
Ahh! I see what's happening here. It looks like there is a different app specifically designed for Amazon Fire. I want to update this correctly the first time, so if you're still willing to do some testing, I'd like for you to try this:
Did Sportsnet launch on your Firestick? |
Yes…that worked! :-) |
Excellent! Thank you for testing! I've made that change in my dev environment, and it will be pushed with the next Firemote release. I'll keep this issue open until it has been published. |
Thanks Doug…happy to help! No rush, I’ll write a script with a custom app launcher in the meantime :-) |
You're my favorite user today! Find a mirror and smile at yourself for me. |
Good news @darbuthnot! I have just published Firemote version v3.4.3 which contains the official fix. You can retire your script if you want to. 😄 -Doug After updating to the newest version, if you are unable to see the new updates on your Firemote card, visit this link for help. |
Hi Doug, I re-tested but I must be doing something wrong as the button is not working still. My script still works and I did a HA restart to clear cache. Any suggestions? |
That makes me sad... we will figure it out, though. If you follow this link, you can see the updated amazon fire launch command was pushed in the update May 2024 Launcher Updates 2 : https://github.com/PRProd/HA-Firemote/blame/4ffccddb1e49518377d721bb2072d2820764c13f/dist/launcher-buttons.js#L4887-L4889 Since that updated launcher command matches the launcher command you validated, I don't believe that is our issue. "amazon-fire": {
"appName": "com.rogers.sportsnet.tv.firetv",
"androidName": "com.rogers.sportsnet.tv.firetv",
"adbLaunchCommand": "adb shell am start -n com.rogers.sportsnet.tv.firetv/com.rogers.sportsnet.tv.ui.AppActivity",
} I have three theories:
Please let me know what you find. I'd really like to get this working properly for you. -Doug |
Thanks Doug....rather than uninstalling the card, I went to the HACS screen and did a "redownload" on the card. I don't know if that's the same as un-install/re-install but it's good now. :-) Thanks again for all your work! |
YAY! Glad to hear it! You're very welcome! |
