Summary
A Home Assistant user reports that a script to open the Odin browser (com.hisense.odinbrowser) on a Hisense TV has stopped working after previously functioning fine. The user runs an automation that turns the TV on in the morning and off at night, which still works, but the browser no longer launches. The script executes two minutes after the TV powers on using the media_player.play_media action with media_content_type set to "app" and targets the TV's device ID. Although Home Assistant indicates the script runs and the TV blinks, the browser does not load. The user shared the script's configuration and is requesting assistance.
Was running simple script to pullup odin browser on Hisense tv. Has worked fine until now. I run an automation to turn tv on in morning. Then off at night. This still works fine. Once I turn on in morning I run a script to start odin browser. HA says it runs, tv will blink but does not load. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is a copy of the script. It runs 2 minutes after tv is turned on.
