Google TV Recommendation Bridge
Started this on July 20th because Google TV's recommendations kept opening the wrong app for me — click a movie, it lands in whatever random app instead of the one I actually watch things in (Stremio, Nuvio, Plex, etc). Built TvRecommendationBridge to fix that: it catches the click (or a voice search result), identifies the title, and opens it directly in Nuvio, Stremio, WuPlay, Plex, Jellyfin, or Wholphin — whichever you've picked.
Two things worth being upfront about, since I get asked constantly:
I built almost all of this with Claude Code. I make the product/pricing decisions, do all the real-device testing (own TCL TV, which turned out to have its own special background-kill restrictions to fight), and catch what's actually broken vs. working as intended — but the implementation itself is mostly AI-written at this point. Not something I hide when asked directly.
Priced as one-time €4.99, not a subscription. 2-day free trial, no card needed. Didn't want to add another recurring charge to something people already pay for streaming apps on top of.
What started as a simple redirect grew fast: it now has a Trakt-style layer (watchlist, history, continue-watching, next-episode dates, cross-referenced recommendations), and I just shipped a referral program — invite a friend, get free trial days once they actually use the app (not just install it), more if they buy, and a free Lifetime license after 10 paid referrals.
Posted this on a few subreddits already and got some pushback on the AI-usage and the paid model — fair reactions, but also confirmed people will actually engage with a redirect tool like this if it does its one job well.
Happy to answer anything — pricing decisions, the referral mechanic, or the AI-split specifically.
