Searching Netflix movie to watch

Hey guys,
I create a Python script in order to automatize the research of movie to watch on Netflix. You just need to type the title (or use the vocal comand).

can you show an example of this working, maybe I’m missing its helpfulness

For example you could use the conversation trigger “Show me Magnolia on Netflix” and the script is going to automatically search and start it.
In the automation you need to use a variable (in order to be able to input any title) and use the correct comand of your TV for getting the specific title menu.

This is something that I saw here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMQnceKn154 at 06:41 and I wanted to replicate (also a lot of users were asking for it).

At the moment I don’t have hardware for vocal input (i.e. Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition) so I tested just using an input text, but I can anyway figure out an automation using a vocal input as follow:

alias: TV_Search movie Netflix
description: “”
triggers:

  • trigger: conversation
    command:
    • Search {title} su Netflix
      conditions:
      actions:
  • action: media_player.select_source
    metadata: {}
    data:
    source: com.netflix.ninja
    target:
    entity_id: media_player.fire_tv_adb
  • delay:
    hours: 0
    minutes: 0
    seconds: 4
    milliseconds: 0
  • action: androidtv.adb_command
    metadata: {}
    data:
    command: UP
    target:
    device_id: your_id
  • action: androidtv.adb_command
    metadata: {}
    data:
    command: LEFT
    target:
    device_id: your_id
  • action: androidtv.adb_command
    metadata: {}
    data:
    command: CENTER
    target:
    device_id: your_id
  • delay:
    hours: 0
    minutes: 0
    seconds: 2
    milliseconds: 0
  • variables:
    title_to_search: “{{ trigger.slots.title | string | trim | lower }}”
  • action: pyscript.netflix_search
    data:
    entity_id: media_player.fire_tv_adb
    text: “{{ title_to_search }}”
  • variables:
    conversation_response: “{{ "I proceed searching ‘{0}’ on Netflix".format(title_to_search.title()) }}”
  • set_conversation_response: “{{ conversation_response }}”
    mode: single
