Help Launch Netflix

[Auto-m8r]

Hi eslavnov,

I am trying to use your code to include in my home automation.

I have all the basic commands working, however, I can't seem to follow your instruction for launching apps.

In particular, I am trying Netflix to start with. Your example code for YouTube works perfectly, however, I can't seem to replicate it when I substitute the package and class name for Netflix that I retrieved using the API call.
{"component":{"packageName":"com.netflix.ninja","className":"com.netflix.ninja.MainActivity"}}

Are you able to explain this further for me?

Hi @Auto-m8r ,

Sorry for the late reply - I've only just noticed this issue.

You can launch Netflix with the following command:
--command launch_app --body {"label":"Netflix","intent":{"component":{"packageName":"com.netflix.ninja","className":"com.netflix.ninja.MainActivity"},"action":"Intent { act=android.intent.action.MAIN cat=[android.intent.category.LAUNCHER] flg=0x10000000 pkg=com.netflix.ninja cmp=com.netflix.ninja/.MainActivity }"},"order":0,"id":"com.netflix.ninja.MainActivity-com.netflix.ninja","type":"app"}

You can get the required body through this endpoint. I'll update the docs, thanks for pointing this out!

Let me know if this works for you. Thanks!
