That is ACC, still alive and kicking. Here is a gui front end for it, you can get it from fdroid or GitHub https://github.com/MatteCarra/AccA

Can you teach my dog how to flush. Thanks.

Ahh now I get all the R34 jokes on reddit or/memes today

Years ago a $9.99 el cheapo Walmart DVD player was my first USB media player on an old CRT TV.

Can we have electricity? No, we have electricity at home!

Or use any of these

Been using Sterling PDF for times when I need to edit a PDF https://docs.stirlingpdf.com/...

For just viewing or similar edits like rotating I use Okular, it works fine https://okular.kde.org/download/

The some of the old music sites are still there. But I would avoid torrentgalaxy.to it has curated weekly albums of top playlists from Spotify, tiktok, etc that have all the new stuff updated every week, for your local playback displeasure. Only uncool people play locally stored music, all the cool kids stream. Do not go there.

TIL 🤯

Xsane ? In case anyone is wondering

Custom launcher like Wolf Launcher,Yes. Not a custom ROM.

Another vote for this question, I thought I was doing something wrong.

Been seeing this for a few weeks now

Was the dog ok

For the phone the easiest way is NewPipe with Sponsorblock https://github.com/polymorphicshade/NewPipe

One step above it , slightly more involved is ,YouTube-Revanced. The step by step walkthrough is in this thread, no command line stuff just follow the steps religiously. https://www.reddit.com/...

The "GLP-1 queue" & the "Non-GLP-1 queue".

That makes sense, comments are an issue with NewPipe. Please open an issue on the NewPipe GitHub about that and the watch-later list.

The functionality will only get added if users ask for it. The idea for NewPipe in the beginning was a light-weight YouTube frontend with offline subscriptions ( i.e. no need to login ). Bits and bobs got added as and when user requests came in.

+1 on that.

But...by the time you put together the bill of quantities for the Pi, Case, Power brick, Active cooling, remote.... The 1080p Firestick becomes cheaper. The Firesticks advert filled UI can be wrangled using a custom launcher.

Yes, this is required. This aids in the discovery of communities that the user may not have considered joining. Or they were aware of the idea but lacked a keyword to locate the community.

~~An even bigger thing would be something like https://lemmyverse.net/communities ... though that is a big ask ... ~~

I did go with a Pi option for the main TV, for the secondary one picked a discounted Firestick + wolflauncher using this tutorial https://troypoint.com/wolf-launcher/

The Pi does a lot more 💪 besides media playback for the TV while it's on , but the Firestick was $19.99 at some sale 🤷

Another vote for Antennapod.

Now that it has **rudimentary Ad-Skipping **

You can set et to skip X seconds in the beginning and Y seconds at the end of each podcast individually.

Maybe one day we will get Sponsor block integration for crowd sourced ad skipping , or AI using the crowd sourced skip points as a guide to fine-tune skipping on device , ( everyone tends to get different length advertisements , depending on targetting or region )
