Earshot for Fire TV v0.1.0
Earshot for Fire TV.
A hearing check you take with the remote, on the device where the
difficulty shows first. It plays a film whose dialogue loudness was
measured with Amazon Transcribe and ffmpeg, records the level you settle
on, and runs a digits-in-noise screen entirely on the D-pad. Sittings
are kept on the set and never uploaded. There is no microphone and no
camera anywhere in it.
Install, from a laptop on the same network as the television:
adb connect <fire-tv-ip>:5555
adb install earshot-tv-v0.1.0.apk
ADB debugging is under Settings, My Fire TV, Developer Options on the
set. The film is inside the APK, so the check works with the network
unplugged.
Contains arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a and x86_64, so it installs on Fire TV
hardware as well as an emulator. Signed. The JavaScript bundle inside
was verified to hash equal to the one in the repository at this commit.
What it cannot do, stated rather than omitted: it cannot see what other
apps play, because reading another app's media session needs a
permission Amazon does not grant to third parties. It measures its own
playback. That is friction log entry 12 and the feature request this
submission most wants read.
