Thanks for using it 😊 Yeah, no, don't think there's any better way. But you more or less had that answer already then 😉

If you double-press the menu button, you can swipe up to kill an app (I assume you know that). Currently there's no swipe support in pyatv, but just calling up might work as it relies on the touch interface. So you should be able to do something like:

1. Launch app with launch_app
2. Now you know the app is first in the app switch list
3. Double tap menu (atvremote menu=2)
4. Kill app with atvremote up
5. Launch app again
6. Now you have a known state

This should result in something like this:

atvremote launch_app=app delay=X menu=2 delay=Y up launch_app=app

Delays will have to be established manually. I don't know of any deep links for those apps. Might exist, but as I don't use any of them I don't have any real way of finding out. There are some tips in the documentation (here) but you might also strike some luck mailing the developers. Assuming you manage to reach any technicians.

Thanks Pierre

That is what i am doing now, thought there might be some other way. But thanks anyway, and thanks for a fantastic lib.
I actually was in contact with some former colleagues at SVT where I used to work, and the response was what! Deep links?
:)
