This device uses non standard Android remote codes. For example stock music player understands steering wheels command, but a developed player doesn't. It works perfectly with standard Android remote command codes, but Roadrover ChangAn S.
If someone worked on custom ROM for the device you should know the codes.
Currently I listen to events as
<receiver android:name=".RemoteControlReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON" />
Any help is appreciated.

Who can tell me if this combination will work?
Your phone becomes a remote control jukebox. Play your favorite through your hifi then skip, pause or stop tracks with your phone.

Or does someone know a alternative device?

this does work with the windows mobile device. there is a thread in development and hacking about this.
but if you just want to make it a remote control jukebox, any bluetooth headset does that.
i use the jabra bt3030 and its perfect.
Hi,
i'm using a new R-BOX android TV BOX (android 4.2 quadcore).
On the ir remote control, there are 4 hotkey buttons (for Music-Player, TV-App,..)
Is there a way to change the target apps, so the TV-App Button will start e.g. XBMC instead??
could not find any information on google, maybe cause i dont really know, what to search for.
Many thanks for any advice!
EDIT: Updated Title / Contents
While evaluating the NP and AFTV, I found something I could not live without on the AFTV.
On the AFTV, I had the ability to control the "dynamic volume" / "volume amplification" with the up/down circles on the AFTV remote. (As a bonus, the AFTV menu button jogged back 10 seconds.) This feature was enabled by the tvaddons.ag "Config Wizard" and is applied when selecting "Fire TV". I later found out that this setting was being enabled by the keyboard.xml file.
To enable this on the NP, edit the keyboard.xml file with the contents listed below.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<keymap>
<FullscreenVideo>
<keyboard>
[B] <menu>SmallStepBack</menu>[/B]
<backspace>Stop</backspace>
[B] <up>volampup</up>[/B]
[B] <down>volampdown</down>[/B]
<rewind>Rewind</rewind>
<fastforward>FastForward</fastforward>
</keyboard>
</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>
Kodi's keyboard.xml file can be found on your Nexus Player here:
/sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml
(A shortcut to changing this was to use the tvaddons.ag "Config Wizard" and select "Fire TV", even for the Nexus Player.)
It's a software volume control, not the TV volume control, right?

It's software, but it controls the dynamic volume range. It narrows the volume difference between whispers and explosions.
It worked surprisingly well.
For reference, you can place the keymap (keyboard.xml) file here.
/sdcard/android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/keymaps
(Note that the ".kodi" folder is hidden.)
Here's how to edit the keyboard.xml...

If you want to use discrete keybinds, here are the key ID's for the Nexus Player remote and Amazon Fire TV stick remote.
They'd go into the XML as...
<key id="key_id_number">
The keys are:
Up = 61568
Down = 61569
Left = 61570
Right = 61571
Center = 61453
Rewind = 61636
Fast Forward = 61637
(I don't know what the button codes are for home, back, play/pause, and voice search.)
Hello,
On my website, I want to stream audio files. Code like that seen below plays OK on any browser on my windows PC; it plays on Macs and Iphones, but I can get it to work on my Android device (I have v4.3). I have tried the built in Android browser and Chrome.
<li>Play Speech </a>
<audio controls="controls">
<source src="/speech.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"></source>
<source src="/speech.ogg" type="audio/ogg"> </source>
</audio>
</li>
My understanding is that that Android has supports the audio tag in html5. Any suggestions how to get this to work.
This is a new project and I would like to get feedback on it before sharing more widely. Any comments/suggestions would be great. Thanks!
Overview
Aberto Sonorus is an Android application/Alexa skill combination that allows you to perform basic launch and media control commands on your Android device through voice, no additional hardware required.
Once set up, you can use your voice to launch/close Android applications, set the device volume, or trigger play/pause/next/previous/stop commands on any application that listens for media button commands.
It can be used in combination with Alexa smart home routines. In my case, I use the command “Alexa, watch Netflix” to turn on the TV and receiver, lower the lights, turn on my NVIDIA Shield TV and launch the Netflix application on the device. I have similar commands for Amazon Video, Pandora, Plex, and others.
Features
Designate any launchable Android application as a target (not just media playback)
Set up through the companion Android application
Supports mobile and Android TV
Designate the device (e.g. “Shield”) as an additional target
Wake up the device and/or launch the application
“Alexa, turn on Shield”
“Alexa, turn on Netflix”
Set the volume on the device
“Alexa, volume up on Shield”
“Alexa, set the volume to 5 on Shield”
Play/pause/stop media playback
“Alexa, play on Shield”
“Alexa, pause on Shield”
“Alexa, stop on Shield”
Advance to the next/previous playback item
“Alexa, next on Shield”
“Alexa, previous on Shield”
Setup
Enable the Alexa skill and account link with your Amazon account: https://alexa.amazon.com/spa/index.html#skills/dp/B078W199Z3
Install the Android application on your target device(s): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.willblaschko.android.abertosonorus
Launch the application and log in with the same Amazon account
Assign a name for the device (e.g. “Shield”)
Select which applications you want to be targetable (click on the pre-filled or the plus symbol to add more)
Tell Alexa to find new devices (“Alexa, find new devices”)
Alexa should have discovered new devices, test by saying: “Alexa, turn on <Application Name>”
Additional Options
As stated above, the power for this comes by combining it with smart home routines or other automation.
If you don’t have a device with Alexa, you can use my application (or others like it) instead.

Hi
I've got two amazon accounts. One on .com and another one one .de. I linked the german one with Alexa. Could this be the cause I don't see any device? I can' really select anything in Sonorus.

Hi,
I'm trying to install the app on my Sony Bravia Android TV (2015).
I managed to login with Amazon,
however, on the second screen where it says something like "Allow to login on Aberto Sonorus"
when I press the Allow button nothing happens.
It looks like the browser doesn't support whatever the web page is using (javascript or similar).
Is there any other way to setup the app on the TV?
Thanks!
MIBOX turn Off
Hi, great to be able to control google devices from amazon alexa
It works great on a MIBOX 3 android TV box, except for turn off.
"Turn Off" command brings back to main menu instead of stand by the box.
Any chance to fix this ?
HI,
Im facing the same issue, Were you able to fix it ?
Regards
