Implement Nvidia ShieldTV TCP control to retrieve installed apps #59
Description
Description
A big restriction of using the Android TV remote control is that it's not possible to retrieve the installed applications from the device.
Apps can be started, but the provided application list is a hardcoded list of common apps.
At least for Nvidia ShieldTV there is an undocumented API to retrieve the installed apps (plus a few more things), which seems to work similar to the Android TV remote API.
Additional context
openHAB has an Android TV extension for the Shield TV (and Philips TV):
- Current code: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/tree/main/bundles/org.openhab.binding.androidtv
- Discussion: https://community.openhab.org/t/androidtv-binding-3-2-0-4-2-0/142203
I haven't found any other implementations. Please let me know if you know of other implementations or have more information about the protocol.
The openHAB binding is written in Java, which isn't an issue for me to convert, just need to find time to do it...
