Android Debug Bridge does not return app_id for Fire TV 4K Max Stick (2nd gen)

[markwiese]

The problem

When sending the ADB command GET_PROPERTIES to the Fire TV Max stick (2nd gen), the response does not contain the app_id:

adb_response: >-
  {'screen_on': True, 'awake': True, 'wake_lock_size': 2, 'current_app': None,
  'media_session_state': None, 'running_apps': None, 'hdmi_input': None}
hdmi_input: null
device_class: tv
friendly_name: Fire TV
supported_features: 22961
entity_picture: >-
  /api/media_player_proxy/media_player.fire_tv?token=

This means it isn't possible to detect the source, or to use custom state detection which relies on the app_id.

Additional information

This is only occurring with the second generation Fire TV 4K Max stick. I recently switched from the first generation where app_id was working fine (state detection was a hot mess, though).

Same. I am unable to select a source using app_id with new 4k (AFTKM) FireStick. It used to work on my older FireStick.

Same here. Working fine on the 4k, but not on the 4k Max 2nd gen.

Found a workaround, look here JeffLIrion/python-androidtv#292 (comment)

Re-adding the device as Android did the trick. In the configuration, there's still no app list populated, but it's working from everywhere else.

I've just tested this workaround and confirmed it works for me! Thanks, @Killface1980 👍
