[Bug]: Connect Button Unresponsive After Entering Server Management URL — Fire TV Stick 4K Max #78

BashBandit commented 2025年06月18日 02:22:57 +02:00

Please confirm that:

• I have searched the issues and didn't find my bug or an answer to my question
• My bug is about JetBird and not something upstream

What is your JetBird version?

1.2.1

What make/model is your device?

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max (1st gen)

What OS and version are you running?

FireOS 7.6.9.7 (PS7697/4800)

What happened?

I can't click the "Connect" button after entering the server URL https://api.netbird.io. The button is unresponsive when using the Fire TV Stick remote or the Fire TV app paired with my Fire TV Stick, and attempting to click it repeatedly brings up the on-screen keyboard, making it impossible to sign in. My friend, who has the same Fire TV Stick model, is experiencing the same issue.

Hey,

I presume you are trying to use SSO. I haven't tried SSO on a TV, only a setup key, please can you try a setup key?

Otherwise JetBird will attempt to open a web browser to login, which should work provided you have one installed and it's recognised as a browser by Android.

I'm unsure what you are referring to.

I downloaded the app, and upon opening it, it prompts me to enter the server management URL. I can enter the URL, but the "Connect" button doesn't work. I don't see any other options whatsoever.

Ah apologies, there is also a connect button on the home screen.

As a first guess this is probably because the FireTV select/enter button is mapped differently to a "regular" remote and not supported by default. I will take a look into it although I don't have a Fire TV device to test it with.

That makes sense.

If there's any way I can help to streamline this for you, please let me know. I'd be happy to.

I will likely work on this after #79

I have a potential fix in mind although I will let you know when there's an APK available to test. No ETA unfortunately, apologies.

I can appreciate the focus on prioritizing the update.

I'm unsure if finding the correct key mappings is challenging, but I consulted ChatGPT, which provided some key mapping details. It might be worth checking there unless you have a more reliable source for that information.

Once a test APK is available, I'm ready to test it promptly and confirm whether it works.

Thank you for your continued attention to this issue.

I plan to utilise the TV component library and hopefully that should account for other remotes (https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/tv/material3/package-summary)

Otherwise, I may have to look into using this instead: https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/ui/Modifier#(androidx.compose.ui.Modifier).onKeyEvent(kotlin.Function1)

Will keep you posted anyhow, appreciate you offering to test!

This isn't going to happen anytime soon, I reckon?

Travelling soon and was really hoping I can connect into my home server when abroad.

Sorry for the delay, been super busy and haven't had much time.

I have implemented a workaround here: e6dbce09c5

This will require you to use the enter/submit button on the keyboard, which will act the same as if you were able to press the button. Hopefully this should at least let you set everything up whilst I work on a longer-term fix.

I am just testing a couple of other things and I should have a release out within a few hours - will add here when it's ready.

Appreciate the fast response.

I imagined you were busy, and I hope I didn't come off as pushy. Was just curious in case I needed to plan an alternative solution before I leave town.

That's great news to hear, really looking forward to giving it a go when it's up. I'll be sure to keep checking back today.

Thank you 🙏🏼

Please could you test v1.3.0?

Hopefully the enter button on the keyboard will work on Fire TV, as I can only test on an Android TV emulator.
