URI for Direct Launch

[smokey7722 15]

Anyone know what the URI would be for the Android TV client of Emby?  I'm working on setting up direct launch for a few clients but need the application's URI to do it.

@@ebr can comment but i'm not sure we've added something like this yet.

The package is tv.emby.embyatv if that gets you what you need...

Thanks, I'll play with it today and report back

No luck in testing so far.

What does no luck mean?

Getting the direct launch on a Sony TV with Pro mode enabled.  Ultimately this allows us to enter the applications URI and when the TV is turned on, it will launch the application directly vs going to a TV channel or the AndroidTV home screen.  I'm looking at other options as well but figured I would update you guys.

And what happens when you try?

Using the package name, nothing, it just fails (no errors or anything).  It specifically states URI as the required value though so I am assuming it is different than the package name.

try:

tv.emby.embyatv://startapp

No luck on that version either unfortunately.

Okay, well, then I'm not sure what it is expecting then.  The above is a published intent filter in the app.

I reached out to my Sony rep to see if he can provide more details on the field (and maybe even an example for direct launching another app).  I'll let you know once I get that.

Sorry about the delay, I've got some more info that I am testing and will provide once I have some results from that.

Great, thanks.
