Amino STB Setup and Usage

Using the Amino H200 with Phenix provides seamless integration of real-time content with applications running on the H200, controlled by the Amino Orchestrate platform.

The H200 requires a connection to the internet (preferably via wired Ethernet), power (either from Power over Ethernet or its 12V power supply), and an output device (e.g., a TV that accepts HDMI).

Please refer to the H200 quick start guide for details.

Managing your H200 requires a login for Orchestrate. Using Orchestrate you can

• Manage Devices
• Create and manage groups of devices
• Update firmware
• Publish applications
• Get android debug and sys logs
• Set configuration values

Amino provides extensive documentation on using Orchestrate for the H200.

The majority of setup occurs in the Manage Groups section of Orchestrate.

In the Group Details screen, you can

• Assign firmware
• Add and remove configuration parameters
• Add a custom splash screen on boot
• Remap remote control buttons
• Add an Android application

Links are used as parameters to direct the H200 where to load content. A link can be a permalink to a Phenix stream or can be a link to the URL of a web application such as demo.phenixrts.app.

To start an application on boot, set the value of webapp.homepage to the URL for the desired web application.

To use a custom application, add the Android application to Orchestrate and set the Action to "install". You will also need to set the tvapp.package_id to the application ID of the app, such as com.example.myapp.

To set up button behavior, add a button such as key.link.green and set the value to the URL for the desired web application.
