Hi everyone,
I’d like to share a project I’ve been working on for my own setup — an Android TV app that shows what’s currently playing on any media player in Home Assistant.
The overlay is triggered only when a specified toggle entity is turned on, and disappears when turned off, so you can easily integrate it into your automations.
Additionally, if you provide a YouTube API key and playlist ID, it can launch a random video from the playlist.
Source code
The app’s code is open-source under the Apache-2.0 license: Turtlepaw/music-overlay on GitHub
Join the beta
Instructions to join the beta are on the project’s GitHub.
Google Play requires developers to have 12 testers for 14 days before public release.
