Sample list of launchable app names for use with the new .APP LAUNCH command. These can be retrieved using the .APP LIST command and then looking at the pinch to zoom log if you need more.
Sorry I am not able to exactly figure out this command…what exactly I should enter say if l were to launch YouTube into the launch app command in ATV
APP Launch [__________]
Please help with the exact text to enter in this space.
I’m sure this is an easy fix, but I can’t locate the the launch app command within the ATV list. When I go to activities, enter setup and add a command, I don’t even have that option in the commands. I am trying this on an ATV 4K, purchased within the last 10-12 months.
I thought perhaps it was my subscription level, that I didn’t qualify for that function. I am using Roomie 7.3.1, build 2390.
Finally getting a chance to try this out. The app launch works great for YouTubeTV, although I’m having an issue with the activity now.
First, I have both Apple TV’s in the sequence, is that wrong? I just added the Companion device to launch the app. So, not sure if that’s the correct thing to do, or to replace the AirPlay version.
Second, the activity doesn’t seem to launch correctly, once the TV didn’t turn on and the next time the video was shrunk to 1/4 size and in the top left corner. So I think I may have done something wrong in the setup now.
Just needed a restart of the Apple TV and all is fine. Odd thing is, it was shrinking the channel playing, but the menu was normal full screen. All is well now.
Hi all,
Reworking my Roomie setup after a long whole away. Trying to take advantage of the revamped Apple TV support to launch apps with custom buttons, but I cannot get the Companion codeset to come up when adding devices. I have two ATV 4K v2 and one v1. I’ve deleted and re-added them, enabled any user connection, and rebooted all devices (ATVs and iPhones running Roomie). Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Nick
I miss one app what i can use with app launch.
When i add an activity, “watch appletv” i would like to have app launch “Roomie TV”, as a stop command, to have Roomie TV on foreground again.
I can launch Applications just fine from Roomie Remote on my Apple TV 4K but I can’t get a complete list of the applications one the device using APPLICATION LIST command in the AppleTV companion. All it does is return a list of about 3 apps and then stops. There are more than 20 apps on the AppleTV but the command seems to be timing out before it lists them all in the Log. I have tried to put in Delays and Global Delays both before and after the App List command but still the same. Any ideas?
