Launching the screen broadcast with an external ADB command.

[paolosezart]

Is there a way to immediately start broadcasting the device's screen using an external ADB command? For example, on android TV using the tvQuickActions app or over a local network via ADB.
And it would be very helpful if it were possible to somehow fix this application in memory, I am very poorly versed in programming, but on my ATV with 1.5 GB of RAM, this application immediately terminates as soon as I switch to the home screen. Although I have disabled battery optimization in the TV settings.

Short answer: No.
In order to start broadcasting, Android requires you to grant Cast permissions, which can only be requested with an activity in the foreground. Additionally, the activity must be in the foreground to start a foreground service.
So, even if you start the app using automation, you still have to grant permissions manually.

Regarding app termination, it shouldn't be related to memory issues. It's a different issue. Please provide the exact device model and Android version.

Well, I dont see any issues withing 90 days for Android 12 and TV. Maybe any additional info to help identify issue?

[paolosezart]

I would provide additional information if I knew what exactly could help solve the problem. Now I can add that to expand the internal memory, USB flash is used as an Adoptable Storage. At the same time, the ScreenStream program is now installed in the built-in memory, I checked it first.

What is app verstion you use?
App from Google Play Store or from F-Droid?
What streaming mode you use ?

[paolosezart]

I'm using version 4.2.6, which I downloaded from github, namely the file
ScreenStream-PlayStore-42006.apk

I use the local mode (MJPEG) for connection.
I want to apologize for not being able to respond quickly because my internet connection is very unstable.

I cannot find any issues with the app itself, but such behavior is common on Android devices like your ATV R1. It is caused by the manufacturer's aggressive system optimizations.

In your TV's main settings, look for menus related to power management, memory optimization, or security. Find and disable any aggressive optimization features. This should prevent the system from terminating the app.

I managed to automate the start of the screen broadcast using macrodroid.
Here is a very simple macro that starts the broadcast automatically.:

This macros can be expanded using the huge capabilities of macrodroid.
The scenarios for running this macros can be very different.
