Hello, I want to turn on/off the lights based on the playing/paused state of the projector, but the androidTV remote integration in home assistant doesn’t work reliably, in youtube and disney+ it states playing or paused correctly, but when using Jellyfin it is always stuck on Idle, and when using Netflix it’s always stuck on playing, even when paused. After researching that issue is due to the developers not bothering to set the state detection rules correctly. So some people recommend that I use the Android Debug Bridge Integration since it allows me to customize the state detection rules, so I did, and got the “audio_state” and “wake_lock_size” for each app in each state and set up the custom state rules. But found out it is still always stuck at idle, after investigating, turns out even though the ADB integration reports the “audio_state” and “wake_lock_size” correctly, but the “current_app” is always “none” when using a 3rd party app. If I open the settings app it becomes “current_app: settings” but when opening any other app like Jellyfin, Netflix, Youtube, etc. it returns none. I tried installing an independent ADB server in a docker container and connect the GoogleTV projector to it, and then connecting Home Assistant to the server, but still the same “current_app: none” problem. Andy idea how to fix it? I just want a reliable way that tells me if the projector is Playing or Paused.
