Automotaion for Xbox
Posted: Mon May 23, 2016 11:43 am
Hi,
In my company we want to do automation for playing video content on xbox from applications like: YouTube / Hulu / Netflix.
Need to automate a flow like:
Login to app >> Goto popular section >> pickup a random movie >> play it for several times >> check cache in/out functionality for our application
I start investigating it and found some directions but seems non of them is good enough:
1. Using SmartGlass 360/One - I thought to use this app to control xbox and use Android platform for making automation tests
The problem with it that it give you to control the xbox but the content will still be displayed on the console itself and not in the android application.
The same if working with this app from pc (using BlueStacks)
2. Using Xbox application over windows10 for streaming from xbox to PC - the problem with it that its not possible to control the xbox screen while streaming.
3. Another option can be connecting mouse to xbox device (found some adapters over the net), and once I have mouse click ability to use third part for simulating clicking the screen (like Sikuli which use image recognition or other apps that uses coordinates)
Is it basically doable to control xbox screen from pc by third part or by code directly?
Can your product offer a good solution for it?
Thanks in advance.
