Not usable with Amazon Fire TV/Stick remote

[Tarazet]

Thanks for the great work i like the app and use it already on my Smartphone.

Now i thought this would be great on my Amazon Fire Stick to avoid ads from Twitch. It turns out i can't use it since i can't control the app / get past the starting screen with the Amazon Fire Stick remote. I would like the control to be enhanced to work with input from fire tv remote.

Someone else brought this up but they closed their issue: #117. Not sure why but I'll try looking into this. I don't have an Amazon Fire but I believe it can be emulated.

you basically have a remote to controll this and no touch function. I think it's comparable with using a keyboard with arrow keys, enter and the back key. i can imagine if the app can be controlley by a remote keyboard with arrow keys it can be controlled with the amazon remote, too. But that's just all a guess from using Amazon Fire Stick on my end.

I also saw the closed issue #117 and looked up the mouse tool he was using until i found out it's not free and i came across some maleware warning so i didn't bother to go that direction.

Bump @twireapp

I think the previous commenter is wrong, I believe the FireTV remote functions more like a Bluetooth gamepad than a keyboard just from my experiments running Freedoom on my Fire stick (that app actually worked [surprisingly], mind you)

I may fork this app and try to get it compliant with Android TV stuff if I have time

Thanks! ;)

Yeah I don't envy you, The Android ecosystem is a hot mess 🥵. Diving back in should be interesting
