Current limitations of PushTV

PushTV is constantly evolving. Missing features or improvements will be submitted by update. Here is the list of not ready to implement features:

Display attachments as picture (attachment Tag)
url and url_title tags are not supported. This only makes sense if you want to start a browser directly to the url on the TV.
Messages with Priority 2 and set retry and expire tags are currently not supported. This type of messages must be acknowledged by the user.
Two-factor authorization to pushover.net is currently not possible.
