STB Emulator on the Shield... any alternatives?

by nikhil48

So basically, I like my IPTV service but I hate the STB emu app with a passion lol. I have the shield remote which works great with everything else but if I use the native STB emu players there is no way to seek forward or backward as the direction keys control volume! (Also I don't want to buy a different remote, I like the minimal Shield remote)

So the solution was to use an external player like MX and VLC where I can seek forward and backward with the direction keys but since it is an external player, it is not intuitive. It does not show preview video when you are browsing channels nor does it allow you to quickly change channels with up down keys.

So the question is, is there an alternative to STB emu, or is there another player that can integrate with STB emu in such a way that the direction keys work for seeking forward and backward?

Sorry for being a little off-topic here but I need to ask as I intend to buy a Shield for my mom.

-Does the signal from the Shield remote pass through walls like the Roku one does?

-Do you know the range? Can it do at least 15 feet of distance?

I too will have to use STB emu for an IPTV service. I just want to give my mom a smooth IPTV experience.
