Hi,

I am trying to make media_player entity by standard androidtv integration

media_player:
  - platform: androidtv
    name: Samsung Tablet
    host: 192.168.1.71

But I am unable to get media_player.samsung_tablet entity.
Any hints?

What do you have in your logs ?

And why on port 5555? In configuration I do have:

What did you put in you config.yaml for the android tv platform ?

QbaF · May 3, 2020, 12:26pm

media_player:
  - platform: androidtv
    name: Tablet A
    host: 192.168.1.71
    adb_server_ip: 127.0.0.1
    adb_server_port: 5037
  - platform: androidtv
    name: Tablet B
    host: 192.168.1.72
    adb_server_ip: 127.0.0.1
    adb_server_port: 5037

(of course both devices do have Connection refused error)

USB debugging activated and key confirmed?

QbaF · May 3, 2020, 12:49pm

Activated on both. Also ports opened on routers (most probably completely unnecessarily).
But… what key?

Amaurgit · May 3, 2020, 1:01pm

You have to accept the connection between your hassio instance and your android device.

Please try :

revoke all debug authorizations on your android device (developer mode)
restart your android devices
restart HASSIO
when hassio is restarted, you should have a confirmation on your android devices to accept the connection.

QbaF · May 3, 2020, 1:10pm

Done. No confirmation on Android.

But still, isn’t it important that:

it is trying to connect on port 5555 and
what is most mystic to me, that I have no entity media_player.tablet_a?

And in the addon config ? Can you show us ?

Are you sure about the IPs ? Are they fixed ?

QbaF · May 3, 2020, 1:24pm

100%
And I see them on router as active

Can you manage to connect through ADB ? I mean with a cmd line and the ADB debug tool (outside of hassio) ?

You can try with adb tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4623157&d=1540039037) and the cmd : adb connect 192.168.1.71

after first execution adb connect 192.168.1.71

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

Are you sure you had this on your android device ?

QbaF · May 3, 2020, 2:45pm

but no RSA key

Amaurgit · May 3, 2020, 2:53pm

The integration should have generated one for you. Did you already have a key ?

QbaF · May 3, 2020, 2:54pm

Could you please tell me in which step I should get it?
