Google TV Support #1260

Open littlegraycells opened 3 months ago

littlegraycells commented 3 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There doesn't seem to be a good way to run Memories on Google TV currently.

Describe the solution you'd like A dedicated Google TV app.

Describe alternatives you've considered I've tried side-loading the apk on my Chromecast 4K with Google TV, however this does not work as the authentication involves opening a web browser on the device, which is not possible for most, if not all, Google TV devices.

Additional context I absolutely love this app (thanks!) but struggle currently with throwing up photos and videos on the big screen for the family to enjoy. I can see that here is an open request for casting support, however, I feel a dedicated app would make much more sense. The way I'm achieving this currently is by casting my entire screen to Google TV, however things are blurry and not full resolution most of the time.

Btw, I should mention that I did sideload a browser app and was able to get the authentication to work, however a few things I noticed:

  1. Navigation is a bit of a pita.
  2. Photos/Videos don't go fullscreen.

I think this is probably a duplicate of my "feature" request from a while ago: https://github.com/pulsejet/memories/issues/1062
