Newpipe: Android tv

[city57]

Hello(i french)

I would like to use newpipe on Android TV, I installed it and it works fine! Except at the launch of the video. The video changes position!
I have to use VLC and it's a shame ....
Newpipe could be a reference for Android TV to replace youtube TV

We once thought and worked about this, but the AndroidTV port is currently on ice.

Too bad it works well with VLC player. It is just the default player that
changes the position of the image.
In any thanks for your application me I put on my mi-box Xiaomi with VLC

@wb9688 maybe instead of making NewPipe work with leanback we could just focuse on making it work with arrow keys, so it can be used with a remote control. This would generate a usable outcome with much less of effort, and it would be a valuable beginning. What would you think?

[city57]

It is likely that not everyone has a "all in one Microsoft" keyboard. Yes a
use by arrow remote control is necessary. However it is imperative to
adjust the screen position change bug first.

Hello sorry for the delay

Here is a video on Android TV mi box Xiaomi and Microsoft all in one

VLC has a Android TV feature. Maybe we could use that as a reference.

[theScrabi]

Yes but vlc for android TV is based on the lean back UI, and we can not support lean back by now.

[city57]

I solved the problem with landscape Android

But it's a pity

@city57 I can't test it right now. Is that a modified version of NewPipe?

[aiddroid]

Works fine on MiTV(xiaomi TV, android 6.0, 4K screen), but cannot show player controller while playing the video.So I can't fast-forward or change video speed via the TV remoter, please fix it. thanks.

I think this issue is still open

I have uploaded a branch with some fixes for TV devices: https://github.com/Alexander-TX/NewPipe/tree/eltex-tv-fixes

It is far from proper adaptation, but at least all basic functionality (video playback, comments) is accessible via directional navigation.

In addition there is a special overlay that better highlights currently focused element.

@Alexander-TX you could open a (possibly draft) pull request, so discussion can be kept there. Make sure to @ mention everyone here so that they can express their opinions and test.

I did not find any prebuild apk, so I try to build it on my own. With success.
Hope this was the right way to import the right branch? I choose the master:

Then I build this app:
app-debug.zip

Sadly there is nothing different to the current official stable release.
@Alexander-TX you mentioned that you add some dpad fixes. Can you tell me which git I can checkout to build this?

My problems with my nVidia ShieldTV (AndroidTV 9):
-no chance to control the video playback (pause, forward, backward, jump to a specific point)
-no chance to read comments
-difficult to play a clip with dpad on the remote/controller. Autoplay in landscape fullscrenn would be a good solution.

Try to setup an google-free androidtv system, newPipe feature is really necessary for this.

EDIT:
With this service you can create an icon for NewPipe:
https://atvlauncher.trekgonewild.de/
Or with this app:
https://github.com/ITVlab/TvAppRepo/releases/
Here is my (sorry for the crpped icon) androidtv launcher-apk:
Newpipeforatv_ATV.zip

EDIT2:
I got it to build this:
https://github.com/Alexander-TX/NewPipe/tree/eltex-tv-fixes
The results are quite usable! Awesome, thx goes to @Alexander-TX
Just this not wokring either: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/2806#issuecomment-575844994

If anybody want to test this older version of NewPipe pre-Build: (unzip it before sideload it)
newPipe_4_AndroidTV_test_debug.zip

EDIT3:
I try to build my own debug apk with the 34 commits from here https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/2806#issuecomment-558416871
Now I can watch again yt-videos with newPipe and my dpad remote on my shieldTV.
The result is in this zip here:
newPipe_4_AndroidTV_test_debug_0.18.2.zip
THX goes to @Alexander-- @Alexander-TX @TobiGr
