OK, played for a bit. There might be a better way, but this is what I
came up with, in Automator:
Create a new Quick Action
Set "Workflow receives current [Movies files] in [Any Application]
(You can set that to be just the Finder)
Add "Run AppleScript" action. In that action paste the following:
-----
on run {input}
tell application "TV"
activate
open input
end tell
end run
-----
And that is it. It will NOT show up in the Open With menu, but it will
show up at the bottom of the right click menu.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
