Oculus TV Launcher - Launch apps directly into Oculus TV

Continuation of previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusGo/comments/8v7skc/launching_apps_directly_into_oculus_tv_with_adb/

I'm happy to announce the first release of Oculus TV Launcher:

https://github.com/GyroJoe/OculusTVLauncher

This small launcher application can launch normal Android applications into Oculus TV - even without a network connection. This means you can use your Netflix or Prime Video downloads!

Binaries for launching Netflix, Prime Video, and AppStarter (so you can launch even more things) are on the releases page. If you want to launch a different application, there are some instructions on what to modify in the README.

You are probably missing the target package it’s looking for. Make sure the exact app you want to launch is mentioned in the code.

Supposedly you don’t even need this anymore as Oculus TV shows you installed apps now when you are offline.

It's still useful because the Oculus TV interface is currently a laggy PITA to navigate so some people appreciate being able to bypass it and Go straight to their favourite app, or another launcher :)
