FireTV Server (latest)

I used the repo from greylurk as template to create a FireTV Server based on the latest version of python-firetv

Thanks for this, can you explain how to use for a novice?

This addon is just the solution for the server described for the standard fire-tv component https://home-assistant.io/components/media_player.firetv/.

But be careful. If you are switching your fire tv off, by pulling the plug this server will crash.
See the bug #36 of happyleavesaoc/python-firetv.
I thought the latest version with the Pull #37 could fix this.

I too would like to use this but am a novice. If I understand correctly, would this let me use Fire TV with python 3 instead of python 2? I am deperately trying to get my Fire TV to work with Home Assistant but I don’t know how to set up python 2.7 to run firetv because I’m using python 3 for HA.

Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for this addon.
How can I add multiple Fire TV’s

hi,

I can’t get the add-on to install on my hassio setup, I add the repository as explained, and like many other addons, but when I try to install, the box just flashes red and I get the following details in my log.

Thanks for any help you can give,

Is the crashing thing fixed? I just moved to hass.io. On hassbian I had a cronjob to restart the server every 5 minutes


Install in hass.io worked great!

How about some automatic restart? Maybe a cronjob every 5 minutes would do the job. Even better if checks if the fire tv is responding to pings and the server is down

Hey,
I tried installing my firetv. What am I doing wrong? I’m getting the following logs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/firetv-server", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('firetv==1.0.5', 'console_scripts', 'firetv-server')()

    serial=self.host)
TypeError: unbound method ConnectDevice() must be called with AdbCommands instance as first argument (got nothing instead)

Best

I am getting the same thing
 however i found the issue.

firetv depends on python-adb, a pure-python implementation of the ADB protocol. It and its dependency M2Crypto are written for Python 2. Until they support Python 3, or an alternative is available, firetv will not support Python 3. The HTTP server is provided as a way for Python 3 (or other) software to utilize the features of firetv.

So unless you roll back your HASSIO it will not work right now!
