Android TV component returns incorrect state for Bravia TV

[digitalcraig]

Home Assistant release with the issue:

0.91.4

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):
n/a

Operating environment (Hass.io/Docker/Windows/etc.):

Primary instance of Home Assistant running in Container Station (docker) on QNAP TS-451+.
Secondary instance of Home Assistant running hassio on Raspberry Pi running ADB bridge add-on 0.3.1
Component/platform:

https://www.home-assistant.io/components/androidtv/

Description of problem:
Android TV device is a Sony Bravia TV running Android 7.0, Android Security patch level August 1, 2018, Kernel verion 3.10.79, Build BRAVAIA_ATV3_4K_UC user 7.0 NRD91N.S139
1.6.0.56.29.1.00

Primary HASS instance running Android TV component successfully connects to ADB bridge add-on 0.3.1 running on Raspberry Pi which connects to the Android TV device. Component correctly detects the running app, but incorrectly detects the state in all apps.

When playing, Home Assistant says the state is standby.
When stopped/paused/on home screen, Home Assistant says the state is playing.
Occasionally will detect state correctly after a restart, but after a few state changes it is incorrect.

Problem-relevant configuration.yaml entries and (fill out even if it seems unimportant):

media_player:
  - platform: braviatv
      host: !secret livingroom_tv
  - platform: androidtv
      name: braviatv_android
      device_class: androidtv
      host: !secret livingroom_tv
      adb_server_ip: !secret adb_server_ip
      adb_server_port: !secret adb_server_port
      apps:
       "com.netflix.ninja": "Netflix"
       "com.spotify.tv.android": "Spotify"
       "com.google.android.leanbacklauncher": "Homescreen"
       "com.google.android.youtube.tv": "Youtube"
       "tv.twitch.android.app": "Twitch"

Traceback (if applicable):

So you need to be much more specific here. The state detection is based entirely off what app is currently playing. Every single app is different and it is up to us users to report the differences. You need to follow the directions in this post to get the state corrected on a per app basis.

So this issue cannot be solved by HA directly, the library needs to be updated.
