[Request] Read current Active Application or Source/Input used?

Open schumi2004 opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Would it be possible to read the current application or source/input being used by the (Android) TV? Currently it shows only TV/Radio channels but not the source/input or application like Netflix/YouTube being used/played.

I would like to trigger actions based on the current application/source/input but that seems not possible?

IIRC the API does not provide a reliable way of getting the current status. Especially when switching between apps and channels. The app is probably still running in the background on Android TV. I'll leave this open to investigate further.
