0.3: Fire TV, older TVs, smart home, your own scenes

The best of the forks, credited to the people who built them.

• Older TVs no longer crash on open. Android 9 and 10 (most Fire TV sticks, many older Android TVs): both apps crashed as they opened. Checked on an Android 9 emulator: 0.2 crashes, 0.3 opens. Thanks fifarsi and ishanboss20.
• Fire TV (Fire OS): the on-TV app takes the Home key back. Amazon's home still flashes up first. Two one-off grants: see on-tv/README.md. Thanks dlandman27.
• Keep watching with no computer, from Android's own Watch Next list. Thanks gurpritsingh81.
• Smart home, optional and off unless you set it up: Home Assistant aircon card, scenes, and a doorbell card over whatever is playing. Thanks roliusz.
• Design your own scene: the glass clock over any photo, with optional depth. docs/MAKE-A-SCENE.md. Thanks roliusz.
• Safer setup: apply.sh sets couch-tv as the home and checks it before switching anything off; stricter checks on the settings the app is handed. Thanks herocode1.

Same signing key as 0.2, so it installs over 0.2. Run apply.sh again (or ask your agent to update) to get it.

couch-tv-home.apk: options A and B. couch-tv-ontv.apk: option C.

couch-tv 0.2: settings on the TV, and Spanish

What's new

• Home settings on the TV. Open the gear tile, then Home settings. Change the language, your location and weather, the look and scenes (including your own photos), apps, people and quick buttons, all with the TV remote. No computer or config.json needed.
• Spanish. The TV home and the phone remote in Español and Español (México).
• More reliable install on TVs where the normal app copy stalls, and setup fixes from a real install on an Android TV 11.

Which file?

• couch-tv-home.apk: the TV home screen (options A and B).
• couch-tv-ontv.apk: lives on the TV with the phone remote, no computer (option C).

Both are signed with a development key. If you built the app yourself before, uninstall that one first.

Not sure which one you need? Hand the repo to your AI agent and say "set this up on my TV", or read the README.
