Chromecast with Google TV???

Dragonwyntir 1 year ago ⋅ 4332 Read it

Hi, I really like the X1 hardware, and it seems the software is steadily improving. I'm unable to use this as my main remote, however, since I use a Chromecast with Google TV as my main streaming device. Can this device's remote be added natively (meaning without hacks and walkthroughs and such) as a device?

Furthermore, while I realize there are thousands and thousands of devices out there, the amount of streaming/endpoint devices (which are crucial to the experience) is far less if you are targeting the main ones: FireTV, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, gaming consoles. I don't mean to trivialize this part, but it seems like these all need to be added and be rock solid for the product to be successful. I really have four main devices that I need to account for, and the Chromecast is both the most-used and not present.

If there is something I'm missing trying to get this working (I've tried it through adding the device manually, and also doing the Bluetooth pairing, and neither seems to work), please let me know. Thanks!

    Dragonwyntir, I stumbled upon your post while trying to find solutions to a few issues I'm experiencing. As luck would have it, pairing and using my X1 with my Chromecast with Google TV is one of the things that working adequately for me. Thought I might be able to help if you're still not able to pair your hardware via Bluetooth. I had to create a new device in in the Sofabaton app via Bluetooth, select Other, named it Chromecast, selected an Icon I liked then tap complete. It downloaded a code base then I proceeded to the next screen where it said it was waiting for a Bluetooth device to connect. At this point I went into the settings on the Chromecast, clicked on Remotes and Accessories, clicked on Pair remote or accessory, the Chromecast then said it was searching for accessories and the Sofabaton remote appeared on the upper right part of the screen for me to select and pair to. After completing all that I was able to use the X1 to navigate the Chromecast on-screen menus. I did have to reassign the signal for the home button to a different selection within the downloaded code base but other than that it has worked fine for navigating the Chromecast. I hope this might help a little if you haven't already got it working. If you're past this point already on your own then just ignore this and carry on. Cheers!
