I have a BRAVIA 4K AE1 android/google TV.
Since a few weeks I observe the following:
If it’s disconnected from the internet for some time, 1 or 2 weeks maybe, it hides all my installed apps. Enabling internet immediately restores everything for a few days.
I tried installing a custom launcher and set it as default launcher - TV still boots into its system launcher.
Any ideas what else to try?
Self hosting relevant because jellyfin


Have you tried Launcher Manager with the custom launcher?
