@sebzat86 - You bring up a great point. I should probably elaborate on what is meant by "official means" to avoid confusion. Thanks for the note.

The term "official means" is supposed to indicate an app that is downloadable through the native menus / app search feature that comes included with a fire TV device. Sideloaded app shortcut requests (apps that need to be installed through other apps, or ADB commands) are not supported at this time.

In regards to adding this specific app shortcut, using the official fire TV app search feature, an app with the name "TiviMate IP TV Player" is not found, so it does not meet the requirements to be added at this time. Keep checking with the Fire TV search feature to see if it shows up. Once it's there, then please re-open this request and it will be done!

Thanks for your understanding.

@sebzat86 - I recommend following Issue #34. When that is complete, it will provide a workaround solution for you to launch this app from your Firemote.

v2.0.0-beta3

Added the following App shortcuts:
 - OQEE by Free #39
 - TiVimate #32, #48
 - SmartTubeNext (STN) #48
 - Sky News #49
 - IPVanish #49
 - VTM GO (BE) #50

Additions
- Added the new required "device_family" note to the config stub

Fixed the Following:
- Visible device name feature is not yet complete as it breaks the
layout of the Shield remote

These are still pending work:
- Original Shield remote style is not yet available, only the newest
version
 - Updated documentation is not yet written
 - Waiting to hear back from @80081 for more info on Now TV app #49
- Double press on home button should bring up the app switcher on the
Shield

@sebzat86 - A new beta version is available for testing, which also happens to include this previously closed request.

If you'd like to test it out as a beta tester, feel free to join us over at discussion #47. We'd love to have you!

NVIDIA Shield Support Release

New features
 - Native support for NVIDIA Shield devices!
- Remote Style Override: Regardless of the kind of device you own, you
can switch your Firemote card to look like a completely different remote
control.  If you were very clever, you probably knew of a way to do this
already, but now it's built in!
 - Visible Device Name Color Choice: As requested in #44, you can now
choose a different color for the visible device name text.  As of right
now, it should work properly on any Amazon style remote, but it is not
yet ready for the Shield version.
 - Sometimes apps made for the Amazon Fire world weren't the same as the
apps made for other Android TV style devices which needed to be sorted
out.  If you've used Firemote for any non Amazon Fire devices, you may
have come across this problem before, as @moh-Brent discovered in #30.
These issues have been all sorted out under the hood which will
absolutely result in a better experience

New App Shortcuts
 - OQEE by Free #39
 - TiVimate #32, #48
 - SmartTubeNext (STN) #48
 - Sky News #49
 - IPVanish #49
 - VTM GO (BE) #50
 - Streamz (BE) #50
 - VRT MAX (BE) #50
 - Freevee

I'd like to give a HUGE thank you to @MRobi1 & @jrspowers for their help
as beta testers! #47
