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.

 

Specifically I'm wondering about the TV frontend UI. Presumably most people are going to be using an android tv box like fire tv or chromecast? Something else?

I recently picked up a new chromecast 4k that has the "Google TV" OS on it and... I'm having a hell of a time coming up with a UI that looks similar to the stock one (with movie recommendations, up next, my watchlist, etc) but that hooks into piracy streaming services.

For launchers I found projectivy, but I noticed that the "channels" feature which pulls in that sort of thing is remarkably limited. Streaming-wise I've got stremio and cloudstream, and only stremio lets me pull in my library into projectivy. Which is okay but I can't get that synced with trakt or getting recommendations; it all has to be managed from stremio.

whereas cloudstream doesn't really have any connectivity at all. There's a few streaming services that somewhat pull things in but it's not great. Netflix doesn't seem to hook into it, nor plex. It ends up being better to just use the stock home and manually launching into stremio/cloudstream when I want them.

Surely there has to be a better way to do this? The stock home screen is nice with free live tv, movie recommendations that link into various paid streaming services, etc. I'd just like to hook in something like stremio, plex, etc. instead, but that seems impossible?

What exactly do y'all do for your setups? Trying to manage my google play watchlist/likes independently of trackt, and then also managing my stremio library separately from both just feels like hell. I end up having to take mental note of the stuff I see on the home screen and manually searching it up.

The live tv channels that the stock homescreen has is seemingly not replicated anywhere else which is a bit disappointing. I saw the old android tv menu get really close to what I'm after, but I can't manage to get it working on my newer chromecast. The menu installs, but the channel feature doesn't work, making it pointless.

Is there a better way?

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'd take it immediately. Whether it rolls back time as well, or just my physical/biological age, having that reset is good. For time, it lets me be able to jump on financial trends before they happen such as bitcoin. Also lets me redo some stuff I fucked up. For biological age it's just regaining my youth and let's me get on HRT earlier than I did which would've been beneficial. I kinda threw away the past 15 years, so having a redo would be nice.

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)

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 23 points 10 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 14 points 11 months ago

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

[–] Otome-chan@kbin.social 14 points 11 months ago

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.

Sonic is basically what got me invested in voice actor swaps lol. I literally can't stand some of the voice actor swaps in that series because they just sound so drastically different and wrong.

Voice issues happen a lot with anime too when it gets dubbed. Rarely will the dub be better, but there's some iconic dubs like the pokemon cast, or haruhi. With the yuki-chan spin-off series of haruhi, I was really concerned they'd get different VAs and it'd be ruined as a result, but fortunately they had brought back the entire original cast.

I'm pretty picky about voices of iconic characters, but the new guy doing Mario and Luigi is solid. He sounds just like them to me, so no problem.

 

it seems he's gotten into some drama and pulled all of his social media, twitch, patreon, youtube, etc down. idk what's up but I listened to his asmr audios all the time but forgot to download them and now they're gone.

I tried webarchive, didn't work. I tried looking for possible reuploads but there doesn't seem to be any. i checked some vtuber specific groups and they don't seem to mention him at all.

any luck?

Specifically I'm really hoping to get the videos titled "ASMR Boyfriend Plays With You Instead [M4A] [Teasing] [Ear-to-Ear Whispers]" (yt link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHbNtj1WO4M )

and "ASMR Boyfriend Teaches You How to Play 7 Minutes in Heaven [M4A] [Teasing] [Ear-to-ear whispers]" (yt link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNQhJyU61s4 )

Edit: managed to find these two, plus a few others. I'll look into reuploading @.@

Edit 2: here's my yt channel where I reuploaded them. not all are up yet, a couple more going up later.
