v1.0.3 — Android TV: no developer mode needed

Android TV / Google TV / Fire TV: setup now takes 10 seconds, not 5 minutes.

Before: Settings → About → tap Build number 7 times → Developer Options → enable ADB debugging → accept RSA fingerprint dialog.

Now: stv shows a prompt, TV displays a 6-digit PIN, you type it in. That's it.

What changed:

• Migrated Android driver from adb-shell → androidtvremote2 (Home Assistant's library, uses Android TV Remote Protocol v2 — the same one the Google TV mobile app uses)
• No developer mode, no ADB, no Build number taps
• Deep links route through the Remote Service natively
• Stores client cert+key in ~/.config/smartest-tv/android-cert/

Upgrade:

pip install -U stv
stv setup

If you had stv working with the old ADB method, re-run stv setup — you'll see the 6-digit PIN pairing flow once.

v1.0.2 — LG webOS 24/25 support

Fixes LG TV 2024+ pairing on webOS 24/25 (#4)

Migrated the LG driver from bscpylgtv → aiowebostv (Home Assistant's official LG library). bscpylgtv stopped working with LG's new permission model in webOS 24; aiowebostv keeps up because HA uses it in production.

• Drop-in replacement — no API changes for users
• Auto-migrates existing sessions: legacy lg_key.db renamed to .bscpylgtv.bak, TV prompts for re-pairing once
• Tested on webOS 10.2.2 (50UR8250KNA): pair + status + play all work

Upgrade:

pip install -U stv

After upgrading, the first stv command will show a pairing prompt on your TV — press OK and you're done.

v1.0.1 — Lazy Verify cache + HACS validation

• Lazy Verify cache architecture: entries verified via JustWatch on first read
• YouTube/Spotify: local cache only (not contributed to community cache)
• HACS: hassfest + HACS Action CI passing
• Manifest keys sorted for HACS compatibility
• Skill v1.0.0: 30+ platform support, auto-detect, cache troubleshooting
• .gitignore: protect launch files from accidental commits

v0.10.0 — Zero-friction onboarding + natural language

✨ Just type `stv`

The home dashboard now does the right thing automatically:

• First run → welcome panel pointing to `stv setup`
• Connected → Now Playing card + 3 contextual suggestions
• Offline → troubleshooting hints (`stv on`, `stv doctor`)
• NL fallback → understands what you typed

🗣️ Natural language

Unknown commands are parsed as English first, before giving up:

```bash
stv play dark on netflix # → stv play netflix "dark"
stv youtube lofi beats # → stv play youtube "lofi beats"
stv "what's on netflix" # → stv whats-on netflix
stv next # → continue last Netflix show
stv stats # → stv insights
stv "the bear" # → stv search netflix "the bear"
```

Single ambiguous words show a friendly hint instead of an error.

🎯 Context-aware suggestions

The home dashboard recommends next actions from your watch history:

• Recent Netflix S/E? → `stv next` with the actual show name and next episode
• Mostly watch YouTube? → `stv whats-on youtube`
• TV idle on home screen? → `stv whats-on` first

🩺 Friendly install errors

Driver `ImportError` now suggests both pipx and pip:

```
LG driver requires bscpylgtv.
pipx inject stv bscpylgtv (recommended)
pip install 'stv[lg]' (alternative)
```

📊 Tests

• 252 passed (212 + 40 new)
• New: `tests/test_nl.py` (33), `tests/test_suggest.py` (7)

Upgrade

```bash
pipx upgrade stv

or

pip install --upgrade stv
```

v0.9.0...v0.10.0

v0.9.0 — Rich-powered UI

🎨 Every command looks like a product now

Every CLI output is now rendered with Rich — Catppuccin Mocha theme,
semantic colors, volume bars, app icons, tables, and health-check trees.
56 commands upgraded. --format json still works unchanged for scripts.

Added

• Rich-powered UI across every command. New smartest_tv.ui package
  (4 files, 24 render functions) with theme system, semantic icons, and
  50+ app-ID → human-name mapping (com.frograms.watchaplay.webos →
  🎞 Watcha).
• Three built-in themes: mocha (default), nord, gruvbox. Switch
  with STV_THEME=nord.
• Portfolio screenshots in docs/assets/screenshots/ — 10 SVG + PNG
  pages generated via Rich's SVG export.
• STV_NO_COLOR=1 env var to force monochrome output for CI/tests.

Changed

• stv status → Now Playing panel (volume bar, app icon, power state).
• stv multi list → TV inventory table with default-TV star.
• stv scene list → scene grid with step-by-step action icons.
• stv doctor → hierarchical tree with ok/warn/fail colored nodes.
• stv whats-on → Netflix Top 10 + YouTube Trending tables.
• stv insights → weekly report with platform bar chart, top shows, peak
  hour, binge sessions, watch streak.
• stv --all <cmd> broadcast results now render as a unified panel with
  an N/M succeeded footer.
• Error messages are bordered panels with optional hints.

Fixed

• Chronic CI failure (5 consecutive runs) caused by force-include
  on the gitignored _engine/ package. CI now scaffolds an empty stub
  before install; resolve.py already has a runtime fallback.
• Added pytest-asyncio>=0.23.0 to dev deps (was transitively installed
  locally, missing in CI). asyncio_mode = "auto" so @pytest.mark isn't
  required on async tests.

Preserved

• --format json still outputs plain JSON with zero Rich markup —
  pipelines and scripts continue to work unchanged.
• 212/212 tests pass locally (real engine). 180/180 in CI (with
  stub engine, 2 engine-level tests cleanly skipped).

Dependencies

• rich>=13.7.0 (new)
• pytest-asyncio>=0.23.0 (dev)
