Apple TV Deeplink - How To Use?

Platforms Apple TV

Hello. I’m trying to figure out how I can utilize deeplinks to implement an NFC movie library similar to this How I Built an NFC Movie Library for my Kids | Simply Explained

Reading the API documentation I thought I could use ‘infuse://movie/{tmdb_id}’ but that only opens the movie information, but does not play it. Is there any way to make it auto play the movie? Also noted this ‘endpoint’ only works when library mode is on.

Another observation is that when sending the deeplink to the apple tv it pops up with ‘Open in Infuse’. I’m assuming this is a apple tv thing? Anyone know of a way to just make it open infuse without the prompt?

How do you do this?

The design of Deep Links at this time is it takes you to the details page for the specific item. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to auto-play titles at the moment.

The confirmation prompt you see is a system feature and I don’t think there is a way around that.
