Android TV Remote - App Links/Deep Linking - Guide

Not yet :frowning: … I have tried every possible deep link I could imagine but nothing works. I have a SofaBaton X1 and have tried using remote macros, but it never works consistently. I can tell my Google Mini “open ESPN on Office TV” and it works, which tells me that this must be possible to do via an API or ADB or something. Until then … frowny faces.

This works on mine for youtube

Did someone find out about the app Videoland? It is a streaming service like Netflix and popular in the Netherlands.
I’ve opened AndroidManifest.xml and saw these lines:

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
                <data android:scheme="videoland"/>
            </intent-filter>

but “videoland” doesn’t work unfortunetely.

Does videoland:// work?

Thanks so much! The normal Disneyplus url was opening in Firefox on my TV :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

I will try the adb truck to find noovo

No unfortunately, Ive also tried the following without luck

videoland.com
https://videoland.com
Videoland
videoland
Videoland://
https://videoland://
https://www.videoland.com/nl/
https://www.videoland.com

and because I see this in the Android xml file:

            <intent-filter android:label="web_login_redirect">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
                <data android:scheme="gigya" android:host="gsapi" android:pathPrefix="/nl.rtl.videoland/login_result"/>
            </intent-filter>

I also have tried the following without luck:

https://www.videoland.com/nl.rtl.videoland/login_result
https://videoland.com/nl.rtl.videoland/login_result
https://videoland.com/nl.rtl.videoland

Ok i found out there is a newer version of videoland. The newest works with: videoland-v2://

Just found that https://nlzietshare.page.link/ does work on my android tv.

No luck with npostart so far. According to the apk is should have https, www.npostart.nl, npostart.nl nl.uitzendinggemist. But no combination seems to work.

The deep link for the Ziggo Go app is ziggogo://

Here’s the intent-filter sections from Kodi:

            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
                <data android:mimeType="video/*"/>
                <data android:mimeType="audio/*"/>
                <data android:mimeType="image/*"/>
                <data android:scheme="file"/>
                <data android:scheme="content"/>
                <data android:scheme="http"/>
                <data android:scheme="https"/>
                <data android:scheme="ftp"/>
                <data android:scheme="ftps"/>
                <data android:scheme="rtp"/>
                <data android:scheme="rtsp"/>
                <data android:scheme="mms"/>
                <data android:scheme="dav"/>
                <data android:scheme="davs"/>
                <data android:scheme="ssh"/>
                <data android:scheme="sftp"/>
                <data android:scheme="smb"/>
            </intent-filter>

Been messing with it a while and can’t make it do anything w/ Kodi.
