Trakt Android TV App not opening Peacock app

Short description of the issue

  • Under “where to watch” Trakt android tv app wants to open in web browser instead of Peacock app.

Detailed description with additional context about the workflow

    • Under “where to watch” Trakt android tv app usually opens to corresponding tv app; Netflix, Hulu, HBOMax, etc, work fine). For Peacock it wants to open in web browser. I have a paid Peacock subscription and VIP Trakt. I have ‘synced’ peacock in the Trakt app, cleared cache on both apps, uninstalled and re-installed both apps. Peacock works great on stand alone. Is there anything else that can be done? Works correctly on Android phone.

This has been happening to me since the Google TV app came out. I posted something pretty comprehensive about it here, but no luck on a response yet. Maybe this will bump it up.

Tried looking into it now. Took “All Her Fault S01E01” as an example on Peacock.

Indeed it seems like the Peacock mobile app does react to the deeplink while the Peacock TV version is not handling it. This points me to a conclusion that simply the Peacock TV version of their app is just not coded properly to handle these links. There might be nothing more to do here on our side.
