    For a no hacks alternative, I built TV Explorer. It puts the channel's published HLS stream into your browser with no interim steps. Uses the public GitHub list of more than 10,000 free channels.https://tvexplorer.live

    This situation where bots have to run a headless browser in a new profile is just stupid. Can we have the old internet back? Please? Cloudflare you're not stopping bots, you're just wasting effort on both sides while siphoning access logs and passwords to the NSA.

    > I built it because I couldn't cast web video from my laptop to my TV: no Chromecast, no AirPlay.Looks like Claude built it.

    I thought the whole point of turnstile was that it detects headless browsers and it's supposed to be "difficult" to bypass. Apparently this just simulates clicking on the checkmark. Is it really that easy?

    Usually piracy software tries to maintain a little plausible deniability, but here this is suggesting it will help you stream this weekend's newly released $250m blockbuster.

    Seems to be missing some context. What is this used for? Piracy?

    Immediately worked for me on a simple Samsung bought 15+ years ago.What's the best way to use it, write your own search to parse all the json pages https://vsembed.ru/movies/latest/page-1.json ?

    It's about as much effort as a torrent, so I don't see the point.

    Docker version on MacOS might not find your TV.

    >Castor launches headless Chrome with a randomized fingerprint and stealth scripts to hide automation.you lost me in there.

    Can this be used without a TV, lets say if I just want to play the streams with VLC?
  • ranger_danger
    Can you cast to a Roku device with this?

    This is interesting, instead of a command line interface it made me wonder what an interface right on the tv could look like.Comparisons to watching tv, are usually a TV interface, with a TV device/app, be it an Android TV/Apple TV, etc.Maybe I'm missing it, I couldn't see a tv interface.The part where it can send video to any kind of tv is a pretty remarkable piece.

    - very stupid comment: i still have no idea what this project does even after reading the README- can someone kindly explain what is the actual problem statement and what the author is trying to solve here?
