Losing connection when entering in the search tab

[MiguelRamosF]

Hello

I'm having "Remote connection closed" errors whenever I navigate to the search tab in the laucher screen.
I tried this with Nvidia Shield and Google Chromecast so I think it's an issue with all android devices.

Did you get this error too?

Yes, I had this problem. I never go to this kind of fields, but face this bug during my tests.
I think that I would fix this bug when the official specifications will be released by Google and not reserved to some big tech companies - this work come from reverse ingeniering and is not perfect

I think that change code1 could change rights then fix this bug but never tried :

androidtv-remote/src/remote/RemoteMessageManager.js

Line 46 in 0e82d72

code1 : 622,

Changing to what number please?

[louis49]

That's the thing: I don't know, I don't know what those numbers are - I did some reverse engineering - I never got the official protocol specs which are reserved for certain prestigious Google clients. It would be necessary to test from 0 to 1000 and see the result but I don't have time for that at the moment. If you ever investigate the subject, I'm curious to know the results.

I wrote a crutch: after I set up a successful connection with TV, I start to send anonymous pongs to the TV once every 5 seconds. Maybe this is not the best solution to the problem, but now at least it doesn't disconnect.
