Honestly, I’m new to this forum, and this is one of the coolest things I’ve seen so far. I can’t wait to try it out and explore the very detailed manual on your Github page.

Thank you very much. Hope you will enjoy it.

I recently got myself an Android TV, and the idea of having a remote controller that can fully control it and even send texts sounds like a dream come true! Plus, being able to launch apps or movies from outside my home is a game-changer for those lazy moments when I’m already tucked in bed. Sometimes I get bored of the same old cable channels, so it’s awesome to have a way to access more content without being tied to a traditional cable subscription. But if you have a question regarding how to watch tv without cable or internet, then you should go through all the detailed instructions on the internet. Now many websites cover this issue.

Hi @berkans , thank you for your integration!

I can’t seem to get the Generic Camera, to show the entity_picture:

http://192.168.1.5:8123{{ states.media_player.androidbox.attributes.entity_picture }} in the still image url

It shows the error: URL did not return a valid still image,

Any ideas what i could be doing wrong?

Thank you

I’m having the same issue. If you change the ‘http’ to ‘https’, it will
attempt to display the camera, but will show up as ‘blank’.

Not sure how to move forward… :confused:

I have the same problem. When i searched the media_player in the developer tools i found out that there is no entity_picture attribute. Therefore, it cannot display the image.
