"A Reddit user says they used Claude to create Android TV patches for Paramount Plus that remove ads from the streaming experience. Disney Plus patches are also already available."
When forcing us to use AI and it didnt make you any profit, and now it's helping to take more of it away. Gotta love it sometimes!
I'm still running revanced, I can't even imagine YouTube without it, holy crap, it filters out so much noise
It's the same thing but newer. My understanding is the ReVanced lead dev left and started it or something. I don't think ReVanced has been updated in quite a while. Morphed looks identical.
Still using revanced too just because I couldn't get micro g to work with morphed
I think morphe is a bit less techy oriented. They have a simple mode but honestly I haven't used it so idk how simple it is.
I mean, all I remember is clicking a singular button named "patch" and it worked.
The first rule of YouTube cracks is you have to start drama and create a schism every 3 years.
Android TV ... ?
I am still thinking about moving to it. Im tired of firestick and roku. Theres not really much else either from what i looked at. Just some 3rd party hardware builds with android tv on it. A few look really good as well. Sure it costs a bit more, but im tired of giving those companies all my data and they aren't perfect either.
The nvidia shield is amazing. My 7(?) year old shield runs amazing. It's a beast, runs everything, and just works.
Weirdly enough i never even considered that one. It is pricier than what i want to spend. The others i found are about $80-$100 while this is $200 from what i see. Ill definitely consider it if it is that good.
I have a regular and a pro. The regular is $150, and I like more. The pro is a little more temperamental, I'm guessing due to its ability to serve content. The extra $50 for the shield over a random other device is really worth it.
Just get a small PC or an RPi or something and bypass the "smart" TV environment entirely! A wireless mouse, and sometimes a wireless keyboard was all I needed to make mine work
I have a pi and i also have had a pc to a tv setup. They have there purposes, but having a dedicated device thats semi cheap for a tv so the kids can easily navigate using a remote to play videos is more ideal and practicul. My main tv for me is a tv connected one and i mainly use kodi through it. Never used a pi for this type of setup, but i have a few for other things that are stand alone with no screens.
For the Pi-curious, I recommend LibreELEC. It's "just enough Linux OS to run Kodi" and uses a Kodi plugin to manage said OS. It can be locked into kiosk mode with just the kids' shows and unlocked for full access.
"TV"?
Has anyone used Morphe with a google login? I've been trying it without one and seems good enough, but still want access to my subs and watch list. Just want to know if its ok to use with your google account, or does it trigger google in some way that might end up restricting or blocking your account?
So far it's still safe to use with an account.
On the bright side my recommended videos are all out of whack, in a good way.
I don't get suggested videos way out of my subscriptions and interest, but I also get less suggested videos based on my interests and get old videos from my subs and videos I've watched lol.
Yes, you just need to install microg.
Thanks, I already had microg (otherwise it would let me launch morphe), just wanted to make sure I wouldn't have any issues. Seems fine, will give it a try later.
Started using it after LibeTube stopped working for me. Its great and the only way I am willing to use YouTube.
Tubular still works. I see LibreTube was updated this month as well.
Eventually, patched official clients stop working too, necessitating a new app download, repatch, and reinstall...
