About this app
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.
What's new
WuPlay as a player option — opens the title directly. Jellyfin as a player option — fills in Jellyfin's search bar with the title. SmartTube redirect for YouTube video recommendations (Settings → "Redirect YouTube recommendations to SmartTube", on by default), independent of your chosen movie/show player. Experimental. Fire TV workaround documented in the README: replacing Fire OS's launcher with any custom launcher or the real Google TV launcher (via temporary root) makes TVRelay work on Fire TV. Removed Plex is no longer offered as a player.
