[Android 6.0 -TV porting] TVInputService HDMI channel are not detected by “Live Channels” app

[Gaurav Tiwari]

Hi all,

I have developed a TVInputService for HDMI passthrough Input. And this app has System privilege and part of my Android-TV platform. Also installed "Live Channels" app which should detect all custom TVInputService channels available in system. And if there is any searchable channel available, "Live Channels" will show up in Launcher. But my TvInputService provided HDMI-passthrough channel is not detected by LiveChannels.

If I install this sample apk/channels, 

https://github.com/googlesamples/androidtv-sample-inputs

then only LiveChannels is shown up and I can also see my HDMI channel as well.

Please help what more information nned to be passed to LiveChannles to detect the TVInputService?

Here is "dumpsys tv_input"?
