UK Tivo Apps dont work

Open asantaga opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

Navigation doesnt work for UK tivo's .. Ive started implementing this in my branch AddUKTivoAppCompatability (https://github.com/asantaga/alexa_tivo_control/tree/AddUKTivoAppCompatability) So far youtube is now working and I'll be adding the rest of the apps. Also looking at how I can simplify the code for app launching

Very nice, thanks!

I've been watching the development of the IFTTT applet that they're using for the commercial auto-skip feature as they include IR remote commands. That's how I found the new FIND_REMOTE command. The NETFLIX command is already in there and I'm hoping that they add more discrete commands to launch the apps so we don't have to rely on building unreliable navigation macros.

That would be nice..

I had to scrub my branch, I screwed it up and decided to reclone and rebranch.. The latest branch is https://github.com/asantaga/alexa_tivo_control/tree/fixUKTivoApps

Now.. here lies the problem.. i have a syntax error somewhere but for the life of me I cant find it.. Can you have a look?

Also, I was thinking the current way of doing it is really a code slog.. I was thinking given the way you have the code I think we could create a generic function or dynamically create the app.intent functons using JS prototypes.. or something..

(disclaimer : novvice JS and Alexa programmer :-) ) ..

That said.. it works now, not broken.. we probably dont need to fix it :-)

Your syntax error is on line 1587 ... you can't have that line of ####. If you're trying to put in a separator line, use

// #########

And I agree that the code is very repetitive. I initially forked this from another project that had the baseline control stuff in it and then expanded it from there. I'm not a super-great JS coder either, but I'm learning and open to suggestions on how to streamline the code or make it easier to add utterances. Just haven't had a lot of time to think about it recently.
