Aerial Views is an Android TV screensaver (DreamService) that plays aerial videos and photos from multiple sources—Apple, Amazon, community feeds, local storage, Samba, WebDAV, Immich, Nextcloud Memories, and custom feeds. It provides a rich overlay system (clock, date, weather, metadata, now-playing, countdown, message API) and supports hardware vendor integrations (Projectivy, Philips TVs). The architecture follows a provider pattern with a central ScreenController orchestrating playback, overlays, and services. The codebase is actively maintained with extensive internationalization, unit tests, and CI/CD. While the provider abstractions are clean and extendable, the ScreenController is large and tightly coupled, and the app has moderate technical drift (deprecated APIs, unusual compileSdk 37). Overall it's a well-engineered, feature-complete application for its niche.
Firemote is a Home Assistant custom dashboard card that emulates physical remote controls for a wide range of media devices including Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, NVIDIA Shield, Roku, Xiaomi, and more. The card provides realistic visual remotes with extensive customization: over 330 app launcher shortcuts, button overrides via Home Assistant scripts or actions, multiple remote styles, and support for device-specific compatibility modes. It integrates with Home Assistant's Android Debug Bridge, Android TV Remote, Apple TV, and Roku integrations. The repository contains the compiled JavaScript card and supporting data files for device definitions and translations, but the source is distributed as a single minified bundle. It is actively maintained with a large community and frequent updates.
