Compatibility with Android TV

[Twanislas]

Hi !

It would be very useful to add compatibility with Android TV so users could install the app from the play store on set top boxes instead of sideloading.

Thanks for your consideration :)

Playstore needs a few extra graphics for Android TV, I can look into that.

We would also need to make sure that the menu can be navigated by remote, I have not looked into how good that currently works. Feel free to help out with that :).

@d4rken Wakelock menu can be navigated by remote on Xiaomi Mi Box 3 (Android TV 8.0) without any problems. I checked yesterday.

+1 on what @bieniu said. I can confirm it works ok on a Mibox S (4) (ATV 9.0). That being said, it's not the perfect interface for ATV but since it's kinda "set it once and forget it" that's pretty ok.

I can confirm it is running on Sony Bravia TV KD-55X8505C as intended. Navigation with remote is also fine - installed via ADB.

After last update (2604) of MiBox S(4) (ATV 9.0), Wakelock not work and MiBox S stay in deep sleep.

FYI, USB Ethernet (connected to MiBox S) LEDs turns on and off soon, periodically.
iPhone can connect to MIBOX4 when the time is right.

Me too.

There is no specific change required in the app. This is likely a ROM change that increases restrictions on battery consumptions. Somewhere in the the system settings is likely a menu where you can exclude wakelock-revamp from these restrictions.

Interesting moment - after restart of mi box S with installed and activated WakeLock , wakelock does everything right, and does not allow the device to go into deep sleep ... but it does it only once and after waking up, this does not happen anymore until the next reboot. It looks like the service is not restarting
I try recompile wakelock in android studio... but the same.... I know in android 8.0 there are many problems with background services.... on android And I know that people must use foreground service and notify channel....to keep process running, but may be something else in android 9.0
Also I exclude Wakelock from power optimisation.

Check whether the notification is visible. If it's visible, then the app is doing it's job. If the notification is not visible (and thus the service not started), then there might be an issue.

no any notifications....
