Adb command to start emby firetv

[chef 3808]

I've been having major issues with Alexa not starting emby on my fire TV stick, it can never find my server no matter how many times I try to set it up.

 

Now I have decided to circumvent this by adding the start up command to my emby custom skill.

 

Just want to make sure this is correct for starting the ATV app.

 

tv.emby.embyatv/.startup.StartupActivity

 

If someone could let me know, I would be greatly appreciative.

This worked:

adb shell monkey -p  tv.emby.embyatv -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1

Also running

 

adb shell input keyevent 26

 

Will turn your frie stick on

 

adb shell input keyevent 3

 

Will send you fire stick home

 

There is a .net adb library found in GitHub which will send the comnands, and you can host the Alexa endpoints in an Alexa emby plugin.

 

Or through a home automation gateway.

 

No need to sign into app.emby.media to open the Emby for fire TV app.

 

Much easier

adb shell monkey -p  tv.emby.embyatv -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1

This only worked for me sometimes (e.g., something like if I hadn't already opened it since rebooting). The snip below works fine:

am start -n tv.emby.embyatv/.startup.StartupActivity
