type: entities
entities:
  - entity: input_boolean.firetv
    name: FireTV
    tap_action:
      action: fire-dom-event
      browser_mod:

Troubleshooting

firetv-card's Issues

All icons missing

Checklist:

• I updated to the latest version available
• I cleared the cache of my browser

Release with the issue: 0.110.0

Last working release (if known): 0.109.6

Browser and Operating System: Windows 10, Chrome 81

Description of problem:

After upgrading to latest version all icons are missing (both in editor and lovelace card). Probably has to do with a new way of dealing with icons described in the release notes.

Javascript errors shown in the web inspector (if applicable):

Additional information:

Volume Keys Without Power Buttons

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Is it possible to have the volume buttons controlled by your card without having the TV power buttons. I use scripts to turn on the TV and set the source. I have attached a sample from my configuration

Describe the solution you'd like
Have options for TV Power and TV Volume instead of the current TV

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently have have a your card in a vertical stack card. I have the volume controls as a grid card in the bottom layer.

Additional context
Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Keycodes for Volume up/down/mute

Could you also provide the keycodes for volume up/down/mute?

Also the power keys are not working somehow for me?
Play/Pause/Right/Left/movement does work though?
Copied the readme configuration..

2020-07-09 23:59:44 ERROR (MainThread) [frontend.js.latest.202007020] https://test123.org:8124/hacsfiles/firetv-card/firetv-card.js:272:11 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'service' of undefined

tv: false not hiding power buttons

Checklist:

• I updated to the latest version available
• I cleared the cache of my browser

Release with the issue:
v0.1.1

Last working release (if known):
unknown
Browser and Operating System:

• Google Chrome, 81.0.4044.138 (Official) (64-bit)

• Windows 10 10.0.18363

Description of problem:

In the README section you specify that after setting tv parameter to false both volume and power buttons will be hidden. From my observations I can tell that only volume buttons are hidden, power ones remain as there were with tv set to true.

Javascript errors shown in the web inspector (if applicable):

Additional information:
I would like to hide power buttons as well, either with tv: false or another dedicated config variable.

Did not work with FireTV Cube - workaround provided

Checklist:

• I updated to the latest version available
• I cleared the cache of my browser

Release with the issue:
Latest
Last working release (if known):
NA
Browser and Operating System:
NA

Description of problem:
The buttons do not do anything with FireTV cube.

I expect that when I push the mute button, it mutes, but it does not.

Javascript errors shown in the web inspector (if applicable):
NA

Additional information:

Re-mapping the buttons after figuring out which each is through androidtv.learn_sendevent has gotten me to the following workaround. I'm not sure if this is unique to my FireTV or all...

To get the commands for call service, I used developer tools pane to call androidtv.learn_sendevent and press the button a bunch of times... then in developer tools looked at the attibutes of my media player for the adb_response attribute as documented in the androidtv git repo

Thanks for the awesome card and I hope the information provided is helpful for the next person in my shoes.

Certain Media Player services not found

I love where this is heading. I implemented this on my firetv with a sony bravia tv. Most things work but cannot get the following to work.

Commands not working.

• media_player.volume_up
• media_player.volume_down
• media_player.volume_mute
• media_player.media_play_pause

All the commands give the same error.
Failed to call service remote/send_command. Service not found.

All commands work using the services tab in the Developer section.

Here is my configuration. If you could take a look that would be great. I am on 0.107.1 release of HA. I even removed sun.sun as the entity and added the sony tv entity. Same effect.

🚨 I'm looking for maintainer(s)!

As many of you probably have noticed, this project hasn't been very active in the last years.

I currently do not have enough time to work on it and therefore I'm looking for one or more people that would be interested in maintaining / developing on this and the other FireTV-Card project.
Some steps were for example to migrate to typescript.

Contact me if you are interested.

Thanks to all users & contributors!

I don't see nothings

hi,
I installed from hacs, I don't see any errors in the logs but I don't see the graphic structure of the card and not even the services to be configured.
where am I wrong?
b&r and tnx
i wrote in my ui:

• url: /hacsfiles/firetv-card/firetv-card.js
• url: /local/tv-card.js?v=1
• url: /local/tv-card.js
• url: /community_plugin/firetv-card/firetv-card.js
  i tested all, in the card (ui) i wrote
  cards:
  • type: 'custom:firetv-card'
    theme: Backend-selected
    tv: false
    name: FireTV
    power:
    service: androidtv.adb_command
    service_data:
    command: "input keyevent 26"
    entity_id: media_player.name-my-firestick

2 power buttons?

Why are there 2 power buttons? Can I control 2 devices with this card? IE Sound bar and TV?

Also, could you allow separate services for turn_on and turn_off like how universal media players do it?

commands:
  turn_on:
    service: switch.turn_on
    data:
      entity_id: switch.living_room_tv_power
  turn_off:
    service: switch.turn_off
    data:
      entity_id: switch.living_room_tv_power
