TVRelay v1.0.0
Free app for Android TV / Google TV that lets you open a launcher recommendation directly in Nuvio or Stremio, instead of whatever the launcher would normally push.
Features
- Detects recommendation clicks on the Google TV launcher via an Accessibility Service
- Identifies the title via TheTVDB (default, no setup) or TMDB (optional, your own free API key)
- "Watch now in {App}" confirm button before opening anything - an accidental click never redirects you
- Manual title search for cards the launcher doesn't expose a title for
- Phone pairing (QR code) to type your TMDB key on your phone instead of the TV remote - tested end-to-end
Limitations
- Fire TV is not supported. Tested on a real Fire TV Stick; recommendation clicks never reach TVRelay's detection at all, most likely because Amazon's newly-redesigned Fire TV home screen doesn't expose standard Android accessibility events to third-party apps. TVRelay is Google TV only.
- Some recommendation rows (personalized/algorithmic ones in particular) don't expose their title to accessibility tools at all - use Settings → Search for a title manually as a workaround.
- The metadata provider's search can occasionally match a same-named but different title.
