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.

See the README for full installation instructions and troubleshooting.
