Cannot change source on Fire Stick TV 4K Max

manuzzo24 · January 10, 2022, 11:19am

Hi everybody.
I successfully added my Firestick 4K MAX to home assistant with this code

  - platform: androidtv
    device_class: androidtv
    name: Fire TV
    host: 192.168.1.139
    port: 5555
    adb_server_ip: 192.168.1.128
    adb_server_port: 5037
    get_sources: true
    apps:
      com.amazon.tv.launcher: "Fire TV"
      com.amazon.tv.settings: "Fire TV Settings"
      APP_AMAZON_VIDEO: "Amazon Video"
      APP_KODI: "Kodi"
      APP_NETFLIX: "Netflix"
      APP_PLEX: "Plex"

(i already changed device class between firetv and androidtv for the matter, but it won’t change anything).

When I try to control it, I cannot change the source so I cannot see all apps installed.
It only sees the current app as you can see.

Any help?

Hi,

Did you make any progress on that one ?

Same issue here !

Also unable to enable ADB Server

Nearly same issue for me, but on my side it changes the source list depending on which application I am right now, but there is always only one entry in the list, which makes it impossible to change the source.

I see the same thing my side with the Firestick 4K Max.

Looks like this may have been ongoing for a while:

Android TV (Firestick 4K MAX) doesn’t display sources in media player except for current source / app. · Issue #66566 · home-assistant/core (github.com)

When adding this through the UI if you select AndriodTV that seems to fix the issue, don’t select auto or FireTV and that seems to work.

If you are still struggling with the built in functionality, perhaps the custom card that I’ve created might be helpful for you.
