Netflix Navigation Workaround Via ADB #3

Closed Nerwyn closed 1 year ago

Nerwyn commented 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Netflix for Android TV is currently broken and does not work with android tv remote protocol v2. There is a workaround for this that uses the Android Debug Bridge Home Assistant integration to send commands over ADB instead.

Describe the solution you'd like Netflix navigation hack using ADB to send commands when Netflix app is active. There is a section on how to send the commands in the Home Assistant integration page,

Describe alternatives you've considered Waiting for Netflix to fix their app, which may take too long.

Additional context It may be a while before I get to this as I'm about to lose access to my family's Netflix account due to corporate greed and my parents being unsure if they're going to renew it.

It looks like Netflix fixed their app before I could implement this.
