Yhea me too, or some double launch stuff. But it just works instantly
I have this set up to launch SmartTube instead of YouTube. Its working but there is a 1sec delay during which yhe YouTube screen flashes up. Also theres a looping issue if you use the back button to get out of SmartTube.
However, nice to have a way to remap the buttons without installing an additional app.
Good to hear you got it to work. Our chroma cast is wired in, so that might also hide the delay better maybe?
If you use the back button and the app stays, check in home assistant what the entity is saying. For me it ended up being two different app names
Yeah maybe so. I'll have a look at the entity names bit I think the loop.is being caused by something in my code. Will report back!
