Plex HTPC is currently available for the following platforms: I'm also down to do any beta testing if you are planning a TV version release of the app.Plex HTPC is for Home Theater users that connect their Personal Computer directly to their TV, typically controlling it using a third-party remote. Next step is hooking up a USB hub and seeing it I can get 4 controllers to work.
I'd rather not install the Sixaxis app as it requires root and my DS4 is functioning great as is except Z.Īny advice would be appreciated, even if it's pushing a manual control config to the Shield somehow. Only other issue is when I'm in the "Input -> Controller" screen every button I hit shows me how it maps or or does nothing, and you are stuck on that screen, no button allows me to go back a screen, I need to use my media remote to go back a screen. Once in Mario Kart 64, the game plays great, everything is smooth except you can't fire your weapon.
Is there a version of the apk that is more geared toward being sideloaded on TV android devices?
From what I've read the Z button is the top left for touch screen devices replacing L but when playing on a TV I need to figure out how to map that button (or to custom map buttons in general). Ideally L is L1, R is R1, and Z is either L2 or R2 (or both). On the Input -> Controller when I click buttons it shows me how they are mapped but it doesn't seem to allow me to customize anything, I see the Z on top but no DS4 button lights it up and no way to config it to use it (that I can tell). I plug my DS4 in via USB and the button mapping is almost perfect at default except the Z button doesn't work. Forgive my ignorance but I'm relatively new to this world, I've used emulators in the past but only only PC, never on Android, and the PC side allow specific button mapping.Īnyway, I bought an Nvidia Shield TV and I side loaded Mupen64Plus.
