App Launch

I'm trying to launch Netflix via a button... using this command (from the command builder)

AV|{{active_atv}}~Launch~com.netflix.Netflix

When I execute it, nothing happens.  What am I missing?

Thanks!

Launch~com.netflix.Netflix is the proper launch command for this.

What happens if you change {{active_atv}} to the actual device id number? If you are using a server variable to indentify the proper ATV are you sure that {{active_atv}} is correct? I can't check right now but shouldn't it be something like {{active_appletv}}, or if invoking this from a remote shouldn't it be something like {{active_appletv_{{clientname}}}} ?

This is what is in the log...

15 is correct for the AppleTV device.

This looks correct so I'm not sure what is going on. I'll try to look at my log when I get home tonight.

My launch command works and this is what the log looks like.

It looks like you are missing line 4 though I have no idea how to resolve that. I assume the TX means this is the line sending the actual launch command to the Apple TV.

Server.doCommand - AV|{{active_appletv_{{clientname}}}}~Launch~com.netflix.Netflix from remote3

Thanks for checking!
