    When I attempt to use auto input on shield TV to clear cache it works great until the last step. The shield TV has some weird behavior with the center button on the controller versus a mouse click. A left mouse click will navigate through all settings to clear cache except clicking the OK button on the last step. I have also noted the same behavior when entering text from the on screen keyboard on the shield TV. I cannot figure out what the difference between the mouse click and the center button on the remote is. I am trying to achieve my goal without root. I have tried all options in Tasker proper. I have even tried the swipe gesture in the auto input service in a Hail Mary attempt. Anyone have any ideas?

    I’m wondering if a newer version of auto input would work as I’m using one from the forums a while back since google play doesn’t allow me to install from there to the shield TV

    Did you try using the AutoInput Key action?

    I think that is a root action. I am not rooted.

    No problem joaomgcd. Always appreciate the help and your work is awesome! While we are talking though is there any chance of making the all the auto tools available through the web to the shield tv?

    I mean when you attempt to go to the web store on google play, you can install Tasker remotely but you can’t install auto tools or auto input that way. Shield tv is greyed out. My understanding is it may have something to do with requiring touchscreen or something else?

    Hmm, but AutoInput already doesn't mandate that you have a touchscreen actually....
