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

Edit Fixed by enabling accessibility for this app. Thanks everyone who helped and @ryannathans@aussie.zone for pointing this out.

Have you tried Launcher Manager with the custom launcher?

Fixed by enabling accessibility. Thanks anyway!

Yep, same thing I think, just Launcher Manager, and Launch Manager just make it easier, especially on those devices that hide accessibility access/services.
