Apple TV - distinguish between Video (Prime/Netflix) and Youtube

Hi,

i am not sure if this something I am just not seeing or something which is just not possible.

I would like to distinguish between the content or the app which is playing right now.

I have an automation, if I watch a Prime video, start scene x etc.

But with a youtube I would not need the scene x. maybe some other scene or no scene at all.

Since month I am thinking how to solve this as the media content typ is always video.
Is there a way I could do this ?

Maybe someone else does have an idea.

Cheers

This is curently not possible as the underlying protocol (DMAP) used does not expose this information. It will however be possible to know which app is active once the new MediaRemote protocol is supported. I have started the work and come quite far, but it is not a priority of mine to fix at the moment. So it will come some time in the future.

Hey,

I can imagine that this does not have big priority :slight_smile:
But it is nice to see the someone is working on it, if you need a beta tester I am free :wink:
