They did, albeit indirectly. It seems the answer is “no one has done this” which means it’s likely not possible with the software that’s currently made lol.

Seems most people just go through plex/jellyfin/emby with their usenet *arr setup. Which is no doubt cozy, but it doesn’t quite grant the experience I’m after lol. I think most people are just used to launching into a streaming app to see what’s on there since that’s how most paid streaming stuff works too for the most part. The google tv/amazon fire tv homescreen setup is fairly new and apparently unused by basically everyone lol.

I might have to look into just coding my own launcher to get the features I want lmao. seems like a huge endeavor though. Right now I just have my remote set to be able to instantly jump into my preferred streaming apps, and single/double press home to switch between stock launcher and projectivy. It’s not great lol.

Ah, this is what my brother is doing I think. I used to be into kodi but it’s so clunky. The plex+*arr stack seems cozy for delayed streaming (mark what to watch, watch it later) but does it end up working for streaming? I was also under the impression it’s not that great if you lack usenet?

Does it do recommendations? Every time I’ve tried getting into kodi it was pretty clunky/slow/etc. Hence my desire to get my setup on home screen then launch directly into a stream. Kinda sounds like everyone just launches into an app first.

I have a roku tv and it’s kinda the reason I ended up buying a chromecast. Other than paid apps and plex it seems entirely useless for convenient piracy streaming. It also doesn’t pull anything into the home menu, and sticks to app launching. Not really great.

Plex is nice but I haven’t leaned into it entirely yet. I’m not sure it can end up replicating the streaming experience? But it’s nice as a media server.

here’s the extension repo that the mihon devs use. It’s just a straight reupload of the original extensions list, and that’s where the community is centered around at this point.

The original tachiyomi also used apk extensions, it’s just that the original list was baked into the app.

I’m paranoid.

I haven’t had any issues with medium personally. But I have pretty extensive blocking as a whole (ublock, adguard, ghostery, ddg, bypass paywalls clean, canvas blocker, etc)

I use bypass paywalls clean and never see a paywall. so… yes.

it’s more than a filterlist, also custom code (though the repo you shared has the userscripts that you can install).

I’ve been using bypass paywalls clean for a while now and it’s fantastic. Can confirm I haven’t seen any paywalls since installing it.

The best troll would be to just openly allow actual direct link piracy on /r/piracy. if reddit bans /r/piracy, then it functionally re-privates the sub (the thing they wanted to avoid). And if they allow it, then it’s a bastion of actual piracy. win-win!

Wait this is the new home for /r/piracy? Based af.
