I've been running Kodi for over a decade now. It starts on boot, so all I have to do is start the desktop. Remote works with an open source Anroid app, it also allows streaming from Kodi to your phone and vice versa. Youtube works fine, never tried Disney+/Netflix, I'm not sure that's possible.
Kodi has YouTube? YT was the only reason I didn't just set up a Pi 4 or whatever. Already got one LibreELEC system for the home theatre, but wanted YT for the "daily driver" TV display. I assumed any YT plugin for Kodi would be persistently behind API changes and often not working, etc... is my assumption wrong? Would be great to hear if so haha
You need to setup your own set of API keys (fairly easy) but it canl break for a week or so at a time when YT make changes that need updates for but it's reasonably rare (one every couple of years).
I've never added API keys and it mostly works fine, need to retry a link sometimes (youtube a/b testing things I guess?) and I imagine it can't play age-gated videos.
A while back a similar project launched, one of their competitors mentioned there is virtually no one willing to pay for this. So I wonder if you thought about this, it might require some solid marketing to keep alive. Good luck to you!
Yeah! I’m not actually in it for the money or I wouldn’t have made it so cheap, haha. This is something I built for myself in 2017, have found it immensely useful, so decided to share it. I’m going to run it anyways so may as well see if anyone else in the world has a use for it.
Detecting website visitor locations can be useful to keep track of login patterns or other metrics. For a popular web application I needed to save the IP address and visitor country upon login. If a login attempt was made from an unknown location (or TOR) I could ask the user for a second (or third) factor authentication.
There are plenty of services offering geo IP information and I've tried a few. I've been thoroughly disappointed. Every single paid service managed to "guess" a city and country where I came from and every single one was wrong. The services looked great but upon closer inspection I noticed an alarming amount of incorrect results when analyzing real world data.
I can do better I thought and so I've tried to create a better and free service: iplist.cc
The service is currently handling about 2k requests a minute on busy times for the last two months. The monthly bills are paid for by the other web application I'm selling so my goal is to keep iplist.cc free, as it is self sufficient for now.
