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

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?

Docker version on MacOS might not find your TV.

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.

Can you cast to a Roku device with this?

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

> 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.
