What is it?

GlassOS+ is a community fork of the GlassOS launcher for Android TV and Google TV, based on upstream v1.0.2-beta. It places a compact Continue Watching carousel directly below the app row, combining public Watch Next and Preview Channels data, including compatible Nuvio channels, and merging duplicate titles.

The fork also adds layout controls: four to six app columns, adjustable margins, spacing and icon size, plus the ability to hide or reorder apps without disabling their packages. An optional auto-scroll for Continue Watching is off by default, and Cinemeta or TMDB artwork can be used for movie and series backgrounds.

An optional Fast Home accessibility helper watches Home window changes so the stock launcher can be redirected back to GlassOS. It is tested on a Xiaomi TV Box S with Android 14; Fire TV and streaming apps are not covered by testing.
