Android TV Remote - App Links/Deep Linking - Guide

Guys, I was able to get Tivimate to launch on my Nvidia Shield using the following in the developer tools:

service: remote.turn_on
target:
device_id: 730a2d01eafcaf90f5e08612f2d17eaf
data:
activity: ar.tvplayer.tv

So it appears using the package/app name “ar.tvplayer.tv” which is what is displayed in the Apps sections

that might be my issue. I’m not sure how to get the tv apk thoughh

No, I wish I did. Don’t know much about SVG. Seems like a headache to learn or do based of brief research.

Go to settings, then app. The app is will be displayed as Google seems to have no naming conventions rules. Usually com.appx but can be many things. Then use the script below if using ADB. If using Android remote I believe it will work, In visual editor just choose the options and paste in the source.

service: media_player.select_source
metadata: {}
data:
  source: com.example.hdmirxdemo
target:
  entity_id: media_player.android_tv_192_168_0_62

just want to update, I found the sportsnet android tv app…there is no fields that match the ones required for deeplinking as of yet. 5.1.15 was the version

Hi,

Still trying to get F1TV started on ChromeCast TV HD.
But with code below, it only opens the app in the play store with the options to open or delete.

action: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.chromecast_hd_androidtv
data:
media_content_id: com.formulaone.production
media_content_type: app
metadata: {}

It seems this does not work similarly in Philips Android TV. For example, market://launch?id=com.yle.webtv goes to associated Google Play Store page. Same actually happens when just max is specified in my Philips. Both apps are installed in my TV.

Yet another deeplink. In my Philips the default TV action does not do anything. Instead, I had to use org.droidtv.playtv. That switches to TV.

Finally found it - it’s nflctv://

Were you able to launch TiViMate app?

Did you double quote it in the yaml?

has anyone found a link for launching TiviMate
