The content is generated dynamically based on what is returned by the system. If the system suddenly stops providing the SmartTube channel (or its content), then Projectivy has nothing to display. If Projectivy stored everything locally, then it would still display data for channels of uninstalled apps, and this cache would generate a lag when new content would be available.

You said that this channel is working sometimes. Could you find a way to reproduce this issue ? I've juste tested STN "recommended" channel and it displays just fine here and I havent been able to get it disappear.

That said, you have a CCwGTV, and I4ve only tested on an Nvidia Shield. Maybe Google detects STN in some way on their devices and force clear their channel ?
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
Yes, sorry about that, I don't know what happened. I made a pass on Crowdin, it should be ok in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
Unfortunately, there's no way an app can know if another app is currently playing video :(

Regarding the shutdown function, once again, Google limits what apps can do and device shutdown is something that can't really be done. I work around this by opening the shutdown menu (on a few devices I tested, the shutdown menu will automatically start a 10s timeout and automatically power the device off after that time if the user didn't touch his remote control in the meantime)
[Android Apps and Games] santi_evil:
No need playing video or whatever, only need to know if you are positioned in launcher to. Dont know how google dreamx (Ambient) do it...

And shutdown, in TCL GTVs at least, need confirmation with power off button too o_O (1 press, screen switch off. Long press , shutdown confirmation)

Thinking about this... maybe can use switch off screen instead shutdown, but need detection no timeout.

These are the things that make me end up distrusting Google... and I've just added TCL to the list

Thank you for your time, and I insist, great job with the launcher!

Same issue here, same device, download is stuck at 0%. It doesn’t fail this time, it just never progresses.

I tried the download link from my pc and phone and it downloads fine. Is there a user-agent check on the server that doesn’t allow the projector to download?

Is there any way to specify different r/subreddit's I'd like projectivity launcher to pull wallpapers from? I have premium version! I've done some looking around and haven't been able to find an answer anywhere. Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] limmneosdev:
Just a heads-up, I managed to install Google Apps/Services.

I re-installed latest version of Projectivy Launcher, 4.36 (just to be sure), then I entered settings - Apps - Projectivy Launcher - Storage and cleared both cache and data of the app. Projectivy then showed the welcome screen. After this, the google apps download link worked.

It seems to have been a caching issue with the pre-downloaded conan.v2.json and I had to do something to force-refresh it.

Hope it helps.
[Android Apps and Games] CRISTIAN COLELLA:
Thank you very much! By deleting memory and cache and restarting the app, he downloaded Google services and everything works! Really, thank you very much!

Hi folks,

i managed to root my chinese mija 1s 4k batman and to install the Projectivy Launcher.

So I wanted to buy the great app in the play store, but I cannot get it to work. Play store and Google play services where installed with the Projectivy Launcher. But I couldn't buy anything on the store.

Is there any advice what I can do?

Because I had no success with the store, I tried to reinstall the store and the play apps with Projectivy Launcher. But after pressing the uninstall Google Apps button, Projectivy Launcher told me, that it cant find any Google Apps to uninstall and the button vanished.

How can I reinstall Play Store and Google Play Services manually now? I also tried settings - Apps - Projectivy Launcher - Storage and cleared both cache and data of the app. The launcher restarted, but without the links to Google Apps, Aptoide Store etc.

I would be thankfull for any advice.
[Android Apps and Games] brrehec:
I solved one problem by deinstalling Projectivy Launcher 4.36 and reinstalling from USB. So I can install the Google Apps again. But it is impossible to use the play store and buy Projectivy Launcher. It doesn't work When I try to buy something else, a movie for example, I get Google error DF-DFERH-01.

Still looking for help, please.
[Android Apps and Games] Tanizhq:
Hey, I am having a bit of a weird issue, searched all of this thread and the other one and didn't find anything like it.

I am using a Fengmi T1 with the ProjectIvy Launcher version 4.36.

I also upgraded FengOS to version 3.0.0.3049 before installing ProjectIvy.

The issue is that when I select the inputs from ProjectIvy, regardless if its HDMI 1 or 2 or autostart to either. I then press the Burger button on my remote (the 3 horizontal lines) which should normally bring up some projector settings like selecting Brightness, image, Sound mode etc. Also allows you to Select HDMI version.

But instead it brings up the Mediatek settings, which I would rather not mess with normally.

This happens regardless of the "Prefer Internal TV View" setting.

But if I press the "Input Source selector" option to bring up the FengOS input selector, and then press the Burger button, it brings up the correct settings, not the Mediatek ones.

Not sure if it can be fixed, but not sure why it would be different depending on where you select the input from.

Would also be cool if I could just select the "Input Source" as the Autostart option, basically autostarting to the FengOS input selector. But it wont let me set it as that.

Any help is appreciated.

[Android Apps and Games] Vladomo:
Hi All, I have been using the ProjectIvy Launcher on my ShieldTV for a long time and absolutely love it! The best launcher out there imo! I paid for the premium version to support the developer.

I now also decided to try ProjectIvy on my Firestick 4K Max (1st gen) and FireTV Cube 3.

On the Firestick I can get the channel section to work and continue watching is working for Stremio and VLC (the main apps I use). However, on the FireTV Cube the entire channel section is missing? I.e., when I click on the ProjectIvy settings cog there is no 'Edit Channels' section at the top. Anyone know what I am missing here or know a workaround?

TIA for any input!

Hi-Now that google tv no longer allows you to add channels of your own choosing to the home screen I can no longer populate projectivy as I would like. The channel listings show up in the edit channels heading, but since they are no longer populated in the defunct android home, they don't get populated in projectivy. Anyone know of a workaround for this?
[Android Apps and Games] szczemp:
I have two ideas for forgotten password.

1. In projectivy launcher could be an input for remote text file. There I write url for this file eg. https://myserver.com/projectivyPassReset.txt . This file could be on google drive, dropbox or any other cloud storage or simple hosting on the internet or nas in lan. This file contains somethin like this:

# this is comment line
# this file helps reset parental control password for your projectivy launcher
ResetMyPassword = true

Now projectivy launcher checks this file (eg. on startup). If this file doesnt exists or there is ResetMyPassword = false, then password is set as always. But if i forgot my password, i change ResetMyPassword = true, and projectivy launcher remove parental control and i can acces to config. Now i need set ResetMyPassword = false in remote file, and can set new password.

2. You could develop small app, which remove parental control. I could install it remotely from desktop browser google play:

This app could run on boot and disable parental control (eg. remove file with code hash). Now i have acces to android configuration and unistall this app, and set new password in projectivy launcher.

I am not android developer and i dont know if there is acces from one app to files other app.

Hi, It would be awesome to introduce a feature for premium users, like myself, allowing the selection of a wallpaper at random from a designated folder. This would enable us to download a collection of preferred wallpapers, save them in a specific folder, and then have Projectivity rotate through these images randomly, enhancing the user experience. Also changing the frequency rotation of the photos. Please do this.
[Android Apps and Games] tfouto:
I am having a issue. When selecting a custom wallpaper, it opens the File app (Nvidia Shield Pro), and it only appears some files, not all of the files that exist in that folder, and I can't even change the folder. How can I solve this?
[Android Apps and Games] Peat1980:
The native file explorer is hard to navigate because it is not optimized for remote control. 🤔 😞

But it eventually works if you figure it out.

The easy way would be to install a filemanager, i prefer mixplorer, then browse to your desired wallpaper and open it from there with projectivity. 😁

Добрый день, хочу сказать большое спасибо за проделанную работу !

Но так же хочу попросить об устранении ошибок которые появляются одни и те же, но на разных устройствах .

К примеру , если сериал добавлен в Избранные, при просмотре сериалов лоунчер не указывает на последнюю просмотренную серию и приходится искать самостоятельно, что создаёт большое неудобство и это ещё не всё , когда начинаешь листать серии самостоятельно, то происходит автоматический подхват и серии пролетают одна за одной в самый конец и также происходит в обратном направлении, что очень сильно напрягает. Приобрёл Премиум ничего не изменилось.

Хочу вас попросить , если это возможно, пожалуйста устранить это. Заранее спасибо.

Hello

First of all. Thank you for the app. It’s seems like one of the better launchers out there.

I have run into a rather odd problem though. When using Projectivy launcher, I can’t open one specific app (Live tv/on-demand app called Yousee Play). It opens for a bit, but then quickly exits. If I make a channel with the live-tv channels from the app, those work and I can see the single stream. But I can’t access the app.

I think the problem happens because Yousee Play is seen as a launcher, and the “override other launchers” feature force closes the app. But if the feature is not enabled, Projectivy launcher is unusable, since the default launcher is used instead.

Does anyone know of any “fix” for this problem? Im using a Nvidia Shield Pro 2019, if that makes a difference.

Edit: Ended up just using another app, that diasbled the stock launcher, combined with diasabling "override other launchers"

Instantly paid for premium. Great app.

Is there a way to "batch apply" or "apply to all" parental controls (then un-apply as necessary)?

I have far more apps on my shield that I want parental controlled than I want un-parental controlled...

Also, is there any way to apply parental control to button presses? For example the system menu button that opens the system menu?

Hello everyone, I hope y'all are doing well, anyone ever saw the HDMI inputs disappear when the projector boots up? Like I set that the HDMI 1 was launch on boot but it trays to load and then just go to the launcher home, it only works if I keep connecting and disconnecting my HDMI device while projetor is booting and sometimes it works.

[Android Apps and Games] spocky12:
I admit I haven't thought about entering a url, because it seemed laborious.

You need to copy the file to a USB drive and plug it into your device.Then, I tried to keep it simple, but it depends on how your device is handling some intents :

- in the settings, click on "select a wallpaper". If your device handles it correctly, it will display a file browser to select the image you want

- or you open a file browser (you can install one if your stock firmware doesn't have one), select the picture and then select the contextual action "open with Projectivy Launcher"

On FengOs, a file browser has to be installed, there's no stock component to do it.

As this behavior is not expected, maybe this will fix your issue. If not, don't hesitate to tell me.

Sorry, I updated the app's features on the first page : for now, this is only supported on MiTv devices (I'm using one of their lib on "server" side), but I'll probably build my own implementation in a future release.

If I remember correctly, you can disable the Google assistant shortcut in Projectivy settings (which is only present if supported, which means on miTv with Google services manually installed), so there shouldn't be any issue with it.

Then, you should probably install button remapper to define the behavior you need (for now, I don't plan on developing a full UI to remap buttons to custom behavior, as external apps do it well).

Hello

Thanks for your work. I just installed the launcher on Mi Box S 4K and like it already. It's simplistic and advanced at the same time.

I red through the pages here and tried it on the launcher, but can't figure out how to re-arrange categories. Just looking at 'Edit categories' where I added a new category. May be this isn't possible as of now. No problem. Glad I got rid of the default launcher.
