Android TV autostart script

Question

I want to run a script after booting from a Android TV box (Xiaomi Mi Box)
I tried a lot but nothing works. Is there any option to 'activate' an init.d folder?

Answer 1

You could go with automation to accomplish this.

There are several candidates for this e.g Macrodroid (free up to 5 macros) , Tasker (free 7 day trial) etc (but I am an intermediate user of the the latter hence prefer it)

Profile (or Trigger)

Create a Profile which allows triggering of the Task after boot:

• Go to Profiles Tab and click the "+"
• Event ➡ System ➡ Device Boot
• Tap back to exit from this window

Task

You will notice as soon exit, you will be prompted to link this to a Task

• Scroll all the way up the Task list select "New Task + "
• You can name this Task anything (optional).
• Click "+" to add new Action
• Code ➡ Run Shell [ Command (enter script command) , Tick "Use Root" if it needs root]
• Tap back to exit from this task

Explanation: Soon after boot, your predefined script will be executed by Tasker
