Guys I got no clue on how to pirate or stream on TVs.i know people do it with chromecast. Can smth like cloudstream be run on lg webos and similarly can I run youtube without ads whether that be through vanced or sponsorblock.
I recommend the onn. 4k Google TV box from Walmart. They just released a new version. It's a standard Google TV box with no extra bullshit and just as powerful as the new Chromecast. Plus, only $20. I have one and it runs fairly well, but it's even better with a 3rd party launcher. Then it's super fast.
3rd party launchers for Android TV changed my life for the better.
Currently running FLauncher on a Xiaomi Mi Box S 4K. Such a nice, clean experience without ads and with support for sideloaded apps, and good customisation options.
I tried Leanback On Fire first, and it was decent too, but FLauncher suited my needs better, customisation-wise.
Try an onn. 4K Google TV box from Walmart. It's a standard Google TV box with no extra bs for only $20. You can load whatever Android TV apps you want on it, like SmartTubeNext to replace YouTube. It has no ads, sponsorblock, etc. Besides ReVanced for Android phones, SmartTubeNext is the best for TV.
Throwing my hat in the ring for dev-mode (you'll need a free developer account), which doesn't interfere / get removed with updates and has a gracious timeout of 999 hours these days, at least on the newer models, but likely in general. I'm using Kodi and the ad-free Youtube + sponsorblock client uploaded via dev-mode-manager, which accesses the WebOS homebrew project that also offers some other useful apps (e.g. a Moonlight client).
Can only speak for newer models, but LG has changed the devmode timeout to 999 hours, which is plenty of time to hit the refresh button in the meantime. It can be automated as well.
