IrUSB requires 'Display over other apps' permission for direct app launching
This FireOS device requires you to use ADB to provide this permission
-
Enable ADB on your device:
- From the home screen of your Fire TV, select Settings.
- Select My Fire TV > Developer Options.
- Turn on ADB Debugging.
-
Setup ADB on your computer (Note USB drivers are not needed since we use network connections)
- Linux: sudo apt-get install adb or download the zip file and install
- Windows: Download the zip file and install
- Mac: Download the zip file and install
-
Connect to your device using adb connect IP_ADDRESS
IP_ADDRESS is the ip address of your FireOS device.
You can find your device IP address from Settings -> My Fire TV -> About -> Network
The first time you connect, your Fire TV will ask on-screen if you should allow this connection. Enter "yes and remember this device".
You may need to run the adb connect IP_ADDRESS a 2nd time if it took you a while to do the last step.
-
Run the needed commands (via adb shell)
adb shell appops set com.videostorm.irusb SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW allow
-
Disconnect with adb disconnect
