GoFlex TV / Theater+ Remote
Free AppAbout GoFlex TV / Theater+ Remote
This network remote control can replace your FreeAgents IR-remote and allows entering text with your phones keyboard. It controls your Theater+/GoLive TV via the Android Wifi connection. Your Android device and the Theater+/GoFlex TV have to be connected to the same network. The Theater+/GoLive TV may be connected via Ethernet or Wifi. Only the most recent firmware version of Theater+/GoFlex TV supports all features.
If you have problems or suggestions, feel free to send me an email. Please enter comments only in english if you wish to help improve this app.
This is not an official app for Seagate FreeAgent Theater+ or GoFlex TV devices!
Known issues:
- Some software keyboards are not compatible. So, if you have trouble try to use the android keyboard. Known to work: Android keyboard (and compatible), Swype keyboard, Nuance XT9 keyboard (e.g. Transformer Prime)
- The FreeAgent cannot be turned on with the remote control. This is a limitation of the hardware design of the FreeAgent and GoLive devices.
- Text can only be entered in 'one rush'. Relocating the cursor and inserting text at another point is not working. This is a limitation of the FreeAgent. (backspace works)
Permissions:
INTERNET:
This is mandatory, as the remote has to access your local network to send commands to your FreeAgent.
ACCESS_WIFI_STATE:
This is used to check if Wifi is enabled and if not remind you to turn it on.
VIBRATE:
This is used to vibrate if a button of the remote is pressed.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE:
This is currently not used, but needed for a future extension.

Works with FreeAgent Go Theater Plus on KitKat 4.4.4. I couldn't make it work in one location, but the issue seems to be with the WiFi router I was using that time.

The best part is you can type on a qwerty keypad rather than using the arrow keys on physical remote.

I've had the Theater HD+ for over 2yrs but I hated the remote...eats battery..slow..and the fact I had to type using arrows killed the Youtube functionality for me.. I installed this app 2hrs ago and the physical remote is about to be binned!! Say Goodbye to playing with the remote to get IR signal...Youtube is awesomely unleashed... it's just perfect Awesome Man...Awesome!!!
