Using HBO Max or Disney plus with Controller
Hello, I've been trying to set up my bazzite machine to use streaming services, I found this reddit post which gave me a starting point:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/w4rctb/how_to_add_popular_video_streaming_services_as/
The issue is, in Game Mode I would like to only use my controller. I got this to work with Youtube by adding this line into the steam launch options: --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Xbox One; PlayStation 5) Chrome/140.0.7339.80"
Whenever I change the website from Youtube to DisneyPlus, Hulu, or HBO it still brings up the normal computer versions.
I'm curious to know if anyone has found a fix for this, or if im just dumb and missing something simple.
Thank you for your time!

Before you ask: This is the whole line of text for the Youtube one:
run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=/app/bin/chrome --file-forwarding com.google.Chrome @@u @@ --window-size=1024,640 --force-device-scale-factor=1.25 --device-scale-factor=1.25 --kiosk --edge-kiosk-type=fullscreen --no-first-runenable-extensions --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Xbox One; PlayStation 5) Chrome/140.0.7339.80" "https://www.youtube.com/tv#/"
that works on yt because yt app on consoles etc is just a website, streaming apps are different. you can install android tv versions of the apps on waydroid
