Remove it.

Nothing on the TV was switched off or deleted, so there is very little to put back. Find your setup, then stop Guest TV on the computer.

On the TV

  1. The Guest TV app

    Set up from your TV

    If you made Guest TV the home screen, open the TV's Settings, Apps, find the default Home app setting (the name varies by TV) and pick the old home. If you switched on Home button watch, switch it off in the TV's Settings, Accessibility. Then uninstall Guest TV in Settings, Apps like any other app.

  2. Set up by hand

    Over ADB

    On the computer, in the Guest TV folder:

    TV_IP=<tv address> .venv/bin/python tools/tv_app.py undo            # the old home screen is back
    TV_IP=<tv address> .venv/bin/python tools/tv_app.py undo --remove   # and the TV app is removed
  3. Samsung, LG and every other TV

    Use your TV's kind (samsung, lg, roku, vidaa, titan, saphi, panasonic, vizio, appletv or vega):

    TV_KIND=samsung TV_IP=<tv address> .venv/bin/python tools/tv_app.py undo --remove

    Add "tv_hook": false to data/settings.json, or stop Guest TV below, and the computer stops opening it when the TV comes on. Nothing else on the TV was changed.

On the computer

  1. Stop it starting by itself

    Mac:

    launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u)/guest-tv

    Linux or Raspberry Pi:

    sudo systemctl disable --now guest-tv
  2. Delete the folder

    Your Wi-Fi, codes and guest names were only ever in that folder, in data/private.json, so they go with it.

Set it up with AI? Ask it to undo Guest TV on the TV and stop it on the computer. It knows the same steps.
