Reported from a live install: the sensor showed ``ar.tvplayer.tv`` while the
media player showed "TiviMate" — the same foreground app, two identities.
The sensor's ``native_value`` returned ``manager.foreground_app`` (the raw
package push) or ``running_apps[0]["package"]`` as-is, while the media player
resolved names through apps map → cached manifest label → androidtv entity tier.
Both now call ONE function, ``resolve_app_name`` (media_player.py), so the two
entities cannot disagree again; the sensor keeps the raw package as its
``app_id`` attribute and ``app_name`` carries the shown name.
Per the contract:
* apps map wins, then the cached manifest label, then the androidtv entity's
``app_name``, then the package text itself;
* a bare or unknown package falls back to the package text, NOT None (it used to
be possible for the value to vanish while the app was plainly running);
* pinned by tests: map tier, label tier, entity tier, the ADB-recents source, the
unknown-package fallback, and sensor == media player for the same inputs.
Verified: 302 passed / 2 skipped, ruff clean.
Home Assistant custom integration for NVIDIA Shield TV that composes
the Android TV Remote, Jellyfin, smart plug, and receiver entities
into a single unified media player with ADB-based now-playing from
any app. Part of the Media Zone ecosystem.
Entities:
- media_player: power (with smart plug fallback), transport, input,
volume routed to receiver, rich stream info overlay when Jellyfin
is active
- sensor: DAG attributes and stream info
- button: Pair ADB
Config:
- Two-step flow: basic setup + optional ADB pairing on the Shield
- Configurable ADB port (default 5555)
- Pick an existing Jellyfin media_player entity — stream info is read
from the HA Jellyfin integration's own DataUpdateCoordinator, so
no server URL / API key / extra config needed here
- Privacy mode (adb_store_app_info=False) suppresses non-Jellyfin
media details, showing only the app name
Ecosystem:
- Exposes media_dag_* attributes for ha-media-zone orchestration
- Exposes media_dag_running_apps and async_bring_to_foreground for
the Media Zone card's app switcher
Shared ADB code lives in ltomes/ha-adb-common and is vendored at
custom_components/nvidia_shield/ha_adb_common/ for HACS installs.
