Hello(i french)

I would like to use newpipe on Android TV, I installed it and it works fine! Except at the launch of the video. The video changes position!
I have to use VLC and it's a shame ....
Newpipe could be a reference for Android TV to replace youtube TV

We once thought and worked about this, but the AndroidTV port is currently on ice.

@wb9688 maybe instead of making NewPipe work with leanback we could just focuse on making it work with arrow keys, so it can be used with a remote control. This would generate a usable outcome with much less of effort, and it would be a valuable beginning. What would you think?

VLC has a Android TV feature. Maybe we could use that as a reference.

Yes but vlc for android TV is based on the lean back UI, and we can not support lean back by now.

@city57 I can't test it right now. Is that a modified version of NewPipe?

Works fine on MiTV(xiaomi TV, android 6.0, 4K screen), but cannot show player controller while playing the video.So I can't fast-forward or change video speed via the TV remoter, please fix it. thanks.

I have uploaded a branch with some fixes for TV devices: https://github.com/Alexander-TX/NewPipe/tree/eltex-tv-fixes

It is far from proper adaptation, but at least all basic functionality (video playback, comments) is accessible via directional navigation.

In addition there is a special overlay that better highlights currently focused element.

@Alexander-TX you could open a (possibly draft) pull request, so discussion can be kept there. Make sure to @ mention everyone here so that they can express their opinions and test.

I did not find any prebuild apk, so I try to build it on my own. With success.
Hope this was the right way to import the right branch? I choose the master:
grafik
Then I build this app:
app-debug.zip

Sadly there is nothing different to the current official stable release.
@Alexander-TX you mentioned that you add some dpad fixes. Can you tell me which git I can checkout to build this?

My problems with my nVidia ShieldTV (AndroidTV 9):
-no chance to control the video playback (pause, forward, backward, jump to a specific point)
-no chance to read comments
-difficult to play a clip with dpad on the remote/controller. Autoplay in landscape fullscrenn would be a good solution.

Try to setup an google-free androidtv system, newPipe feature is really necessary for this.

EDIT:
With this service you can create an icon for NewPipe:
https://atvlauncher.trekgonewild.de/
Or with this app:
https://github.com/ITVlab/TvAppRepo/releases/
Here is my (sorry for the crpped icon) androidtv launcher-apk:
Newpipeforatv_ATV.zip

EDIT2:
I got it to build this:
https://github.com/Alexander-TX/NewPipe/tree/eltex-tv-fixes
The results are quite usable! Awesome, thx goes to @Alexander-TX
Just this not wokring either: #2806 (comment)

If anybody want to test this older version of NewPipe pre-Build: (unzip it before sideload it)
newPipe_4_AndroidTV_test_debug.zip

EDIT3:
I try to build my own debug apk with the 34 commits from here #2806 (comment)
Now I can watch again yt-videos with newPipe and my dpad remote on my shieldTV.
The result is in this zip here:
newPipe_4_AndroidTV_test_debug_0.18.2.zip
THX goes to @Alexander-- @Alexander-TX @TobiGr
