Add "Last TV channel" option to channel list #39

Closed jsiegenthaler closed 2 years ago

jsiegenthaler commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

Some users would like to have a capability to return to the last used TV channel, similar to the [TV] button on the physical remote.

Describe the solution you'd like:

A dummy TV channel named "Last TV channel" or similar. Selecting the channel triggers the [TV] button press and the set-top box returns to the last used TV channel. The dummy channel should be optional (controlled via config) and default disabled A user can choose to use it. If enabled, it would appear as the first available channel in the channel list. Thus channel list preparation and sorting would be affected.

Additional context:

The TV button key event is "TV"

I've decided that the user can do this from the Apple TV Remote 8the iOS remote control) by configuring the double-tap of a button (such as the BACK button) to send the TV key.
