TizenTube is a NodeJS script that enhances your Tizen TV (2017 and newer) viewing experience by removing ads and adding support for Sponsorblock.
TizenTube operates by initiating a debugger session upon launching the app on your Tizen TV. This is achieved through the utilization of the debug <app.id> command, which establishes a connection between the server and the debugger. Once connected, the server is able to transmit JavaScript code that effectively removes video ads.
- A PC capable of running Tizen Studio, which will be used to install TizenStudio onto your TV through SDB.
- A PC or Single Board Computer capable of running 24/7 (for ease of use) or the Android App.
- Enable Developer Mode on your TV by following this link.
- Install Tizen Studio by following this guide. Make sure to install the Tizen SDK version 6.x.x, which is the project’s SDK version..
- Connect to your TV using this guide.
- Create a Samsung certificate using this guide.
- Clone/download the repository and open the
appsfolder of the repository in Tizen Studio by restarting Tizen Studio and changing the workspace. - In the
index.htmlfile of the Launcher app, change theIPvariable to the IP of where your debugger will be installed. This could also be the IP of your android device if you plan on using that instead. - Ensure that your TV is selected at the top of Tizen Studio (the dropdown menu).
- Right-click the
TizenTubeapp and run it as a Tizen web application. Once that is done, do the same for theLauncherapp.
After completing these steps, installing apps is complete! You should be able to see the apps on your TV. Now comes the easier part, installing the server or the debugger. You have two options to do this:
- Download NodeJS if you haven't already. Check by running the command
npm -v. - Clone the repository.
- Install modules by running
npm iin the main folder of the repository. - Install mods modules by running
cd modsand then runningnpm i. - Build mods by running
npm run build. - Navigate back to the main folder of the repository by running
cd ... - Open
config.jsonin your favorite text editor. ChangetvIPto the IP of your TV. Make sure to leave theappIDas it is (Ad6NutHP8l.TizenTube). ChangeisTizen3to true if your TV runs on Tizen 3. - Ensure that SDB is not running by going to Tizen's device manager and disconnecting your TV.
- Start the node debugger/server using
node ..
Once the server is up and running, you can access the Launcher app from your TV’s app menu. Please note that the TizenTube app will still display ads if it is run on its own. To remove ads, make sure to launch TizenTube through the Launcher app, which is connected to the server.
- First, change the Developer Mode's Host IP to your device's IP.
- Download the latest APK compatible with your device's architecture from here (if unsure, download armeabi-v7a).
- Install it.
- After opening the app, change the configuration to suit your needs. Ensure that you set the
appIDtoAd6NutHP8l.TizenTubeif it isn't already set. Change the IP to match that of your TV. - Press 'Run Server'.
- Press 'Launch' whenever you want to launch TizenTube.
- Please note that if the app crashes, you may have made an error, such as setting an incorrect IP or failing to change the Developer Mode's Host IP.
And now you can launch TizenTube from your Android device!
