AppSelector trait for TV

[andiwirs]

As requested in the forum:

The Smart Home Television Guide also shows a trait “AppSelector” for starting apps like Netflix or Youtube.
It would be nice to have this available in Openhab as well

Hey, what item type you would like to connect here?

Maybe you can construct an example scenario with openHAB items how this trait would work for you.

Thanks.

Hey thanks for taking the time to consider adding this feature. My setup works as follows:
On my TV i have Tasker running, which is waiting for HTTP Requests to start apps. For that I have defined a String item which triggers a rule that handles some tasks for preparation, like setting a default source, volume etc. and the http request of course.

Item
String	St_MultimediaPreset_Lr	"Multimedia Preset [%s]"	(gPersist_MapDB_Restore)

Sitemap
Selection item=St_MultimediaPreset_Lr mappings=["Off"="Off", "Startseite"="Startseite", "TV"="TV", "ARD Mediathek"="ARD Mediathek", "ZDFmediathek"="ZDFmediathek", "YouTube"="YouTube", "Netflix"="Netflix", "Kodi"="Kodi", "ARTE"="ARTE", "Steamlink"="Steamlink", "Chromecast built-in"="Chromecast built-in"]

So it would be perfect (for my setup) if i was able to set that String Item "St_MultimediaPreset_Lr" to one of the predefined values via Google Assistant :)
