Fire TV Launch command was created by randyf
I have a Fire TV 4K that I'm trying to integrate into SmartRemote.  Some info that Dave posted in Nillaz's thread made some of this work a bit better but I noticed a few things.
  1. In the myserver data directory, there are two files named tvapps.json, one is all lowercase and the other is mixed case - TVApps.json.  Not sure if this makes a difference for anything but wanted to mention it.
  2. Using the driver command testing section, I select the Launch command to send a command to load the Plex app.  The command generates as "AV|5~Launch~Plex".  This results in an the following error:  AndroidTV.SendCommand - Error in SendCommand - The shell command has become unresponsive.
  3. Now if I use the androidName version in the command:  AV|5~Launch~com.plexapp.android then the app launches.  It seems that the driver command section isn't translating the command properly (or maybe its not supposed to, not sure).
  4. Same thing with Netflix, but running this command works:  AV|5~Launch~com.netflix.ninja
  5. I tried the same thing for the Prime Video app using this command:  AV|5~Launch~com.amazon.avod but this just results in a blank screen, with no errors in the log.  There is a second version of androidName for this and I tried that AV|5~Launch~com.amazon.firebat as well but that results in the "the shell command has become unresponsive".
I have the latest myServer and AndroidTV drivers installed.

Thanks
