Android TV App

Has anyone found something similar to Justwatch/Reelgood that let’s you see your custom watchlists and open the correct app on chromecast/android tv? I tried Syncler but it uses its own internal streaming options. I want to be able to see my custom lists and click on something that will take me to Netflix, Hulu, Prime, etc.

Any ideas?

I love the widgets of TV Show Tracker-trak.tv client.

Now it doesn’t open the correct app. You have to remember that. The closet thing to what you really want. Is the watchlist on goggle tv.

You know what would really make this great? Include a small logo of the service that has a particular show. I’m still using these widgets to keep what I’m currently watching but often I forget which service is showing what shows. A real first world problem ha ha.

Ist an Android TV app from trakt planned after tvos gets one?

Wouldn’t it be easier to do what you need on your phone? really not understanding how it’s beneficial to do it on Android TV or TV OS devices when you’re already watching something. Unless I’m missing something that is beneficial to do it on the Android TV or TV OS devices.

You can do this with Plex.

It’s simply more practical. If you say, I want to watch a movie now that I’ve added to my watchlist.
Open the Trakt app, open the list, turn on the filter (hopefully remains active) “List me all movies that include my streaming services” and select the movie and simply press “Play” and the corresponding app opens in which the movie is offered.

Now that the trakt for Apple TV project is done, I hope the devs will turn their attention to Chromecast next, for exactly that reason.

Can do this with Plex and Docker.

I’ve got a sync in Docker that Syncs my lists from Trakt onto Plex.
Can then go through this watch list on my Shield to find something to watch and open in Plex or one of my streaming services.
Easy.

Will have to take a closer look at my options with Plex now that didn’t exist in 2021 haha

I really liked Plex and wanted it to work, but when it pointed at the wrong location there wasn’t really anything you could do about it. If there is, let me know.

I built an app on top of trakt.tv. There’s a docker image that has a web UI and that can control a TV using adb. There’s also an Android App that can be installed on the TV for more direct control. I have it wired to automatically open with my Netflix button.

You have to manually go search for shows and movies and then add them to the item manually. But on the upside once you have the link set it tends to keep working.

I’d love to hear people’s thoughts and collaborate on new features.
