Bixby routines

[philliplavelle]

Hey all.

Wonder if anybody here is a wizard with Bixby routines. Wondering if anybody can help me please?

I hear this is actually quite a powerful function compared to the rest of the Bixby stuff and I figured I'd try to set something up. It's quite a specific use case and probably not possible but worth asking in case it is.

Here's what I want to do. When I tell Bixby or hit a shortcut button, I want it to automatically locate a web TV live stream and cast it to my Amazon Fire Stick (which theoretically would mean that I could yell at my phone and have it automatically turn on my monitor with the fire stick on and play a stream of the local news.)

Yes I'm aware this is the absolute height of laziness

I have a web casting app that I use (it's free but I am happy to buy it) called Web Video Caster and there are a couple of others available that do the same kinda thing.
The station I want to launch is KTLA which streams live on its app and website (although their own app doesn't seem to have a cast button bizarrely.)

I seem to be able to set up a Bixby routine to launch the app and go to the bookmarks page. So that's part of the journey complete. But not the intricacies of managing to have it then auto play and auto connect.

Any Bixby scientists here with any insight please? Worth a try..

Thanks folks
