Not working with Mi Box S, Android TV 9 (Official)

[R2R29]

Hi,
I already tried several times with 3 apps without success. I receive the notification that it can take up to 20 seconds, but nothing happens.

Can this be a compatibility issue with the Android TV version?

Thanks

Guys this project is dead, no update for 4 years... maybe you guys fork it and make it better 😅

@xstar97 there are 36 forks on the moment, but no one released a build 😢 If I was an adroid developer and had an android enviroment setup on my machine... BTW, there is a workaround on creating shortcuts for apps like Chrome (or any other browser) and Telegram:

1. Instead of creating "Leanback Shortcuts" you should create a "Web Bookmark". Setup an url you need to follow - it will be a home page for browser. You can also setup a banner, but there are some restrictions and problems, see below.
2. When the app is created, just install it and open. If you have several apps that can open the specified link, the OS will ask the prefered app to use. You should set it as default app. So, for me Chrome bookmark is setup to https://google.com, and Telegram link is https://t.me. I suppose there is a way to add intent:// or direct app scheme bookmarks, but I haven't tried it. For now Telegram opens the main screen and Chrome opens a new tab: if anyone knows how to setup Chrome to just open an app withhout adding a new tab, it would be helpful.
3. For banner images, there is a problem with icon size - it is cropped & scaled incorrectly. After digging in the code, I found, perhaps, a place, where it is set, but not sure.
