Anyone controlled an NVidia shield from Crestron.
Am looking to emulate the remote, any additional controls would be cool also.
Thanks,
Tray

I use a homebrew solution to control mine at home which is, unfortunately, not licensed for commercial use.
I always tell people this, but beware of solutions that emulate USB keyboards such as the Flirc. Keyboard support is solid in Android TV OS, but most TV app developers don't expect you to use a keyboard, and some common apps (I'm lookin at you, HULU) don't support keyboard input at all.
I know they released an official Control4 TCP/IP driver a few months back. Been waiting to see if it's possible to write a S+ module that can use the same method as the Control4 driver. I know nothing about Control4, though.

Hi, i´m using Videostrom IRUSB. It says IR in it´s name, but the IR-part is not being used for this purpose: it creates a direct IP-control connection. It works pretty well. The only drawback is that it takes a couple of minutes after booting the Shield until the control connection is established. Plus it creates an annoying splash screen that looks pretty confusing to people. I´m also into Control4 – so if I can do anything to support you writing a Crestron module based on that, give me a shout.

We (Chowmain Software) have just released a Crestron Home driver which doesn't require any hardware, connects immediately and provides controls for pretty much every app and has a list of apps (with app launching, favourites, etc).
When it came out we were asked for a SIMPL version as well, which we now how in the pipeline. The module itself isn't too hard, but I still have to write licencing code so I don't have an ETA just yet. If anyone wants to help us beta test though I'd love to get some help. Just let me know and I'll add you to the list.

I'd be very interested to help beta test.
For whatever it's worth, I would only be testing on my system at home; my employer never integrates these things (not very applicable to our clientele). I, on the other hand, use my Shield every day, normally controlled via my Crestron system.
|
I too would like to test for personal use at home.
Please let me know. - Tray

Another beta tester interest here. I have 2017 and 2019 Pro versions

Hi, please add me to the list. 😊 Would be great to get rid of the hard dongles. Cheers, Thorsten Von: crestron@groups.io <crestron@groups.io> Im Auftrag von richard.k.mullins@...

Hi Richard,
would be interested too. I have a Shield 2019 Pro and 2017 in my system. At the moment I am using
CEC from NVX, but of course with no feedback and limited control.
thanks and regards
|
Same here, would be happy to help beta test. I use both shield versions all the time and have tried a few options.
|
Same! Happy to beta test, with both 2017 Pro and 2019 versions.
|
I would also like to be added to the list. I have a shield box at every tv in my home as the main (only at most) source.
Thanks
|
If you need any more testers I will help.

Same here to beta test…have shield pro 2019 and 2015 connect to DM…

Add me to the list too would love to test it out as well. Need something more integrated than the current Flirc setup.
|
I would also like to be added to the list. I've been looking for this for a while now, I'm glad you picked this up.
|
Has there been any updates on a Crestron SIMPL driver being developed to work with the Nvidia Shield Pro?
|
|
|
If you are using a Crestron DM system... I use standard CEC commands and they work great! Play, pause, FF, Rewind, navigation all work.
|
Which CEC module? Does it wake up Nvidia if it goes to sleep? You have menu command working?
Could you share or email a screenshot of what commands you are using?
Thank you
