I recently picked up a couple of Apple TV gen 3.1, and discovered you can't do a whole lot with them aside from cast from your phone these days. I can't solder for shit, so jailbreaks are out of the question for me, sadly. In the process of researching all this, however, I found a GitHub that will help you hijack the Redbull TV app that comes pre-installed to run IPTV through it. Anyone know of anything good I can look into further? I'm on disability and life is expensive 😭

I don't have an iPhone, or any other Apple devices aside from the two TV boxes, unfortunately. This house is a purely Linux/Android house lol That said, I definitely appreciate all this info, and may go digging for an android alternative, so this gives me an idea of what direction I can go in!

    In that case, I recommend getting the Onn 4K Pro for 75 CAD and following the guide I wrote here. Same process with Stremio, except that it works better on Android, and you can also easily use YouTube ad-free with SmartTube.

    There's cheaper Android devices out there, including cheaper versions of the Onn (Onn FHD for 39 CAD and Onn 4K for 53 CAD), though if possible, I recommend getting the 4K Pro for its higher specs if you decide to go this route.

    This is a little out of the blue, but have you found any way to update the Canadian Onn 4K Pro? The last security update on mine was back in 2024, and some Quebec TV apps disappeared because they require a newer android version.

    It looks like they had a bad android 14 rollout in the states, that they fixed later, but there are no news about it ever coming to Canada. With the new device release, my hopes are down.

    I got my boxes in the U.S. to take to Europe, so unfortunately I'm not sure what the situation is for the Canadian version; odd that they didn't roll out the firmware update to those devices though.

    Okay awesome! Thank you again! One last question... Is the setup you linked possible to do from an Android phone, for at least a little while? It'll take a few months before I can pick up the Onn device, and brain demands this now, knowing there's a way forward lol

    Stremio settings can be configured and add-ons installed from any web, mobile, or desktop version of Stremio, including the Android app and the Linux flatpak. Stremio settings sync to the Stremio server to let you sync add-ons between devices, just like Omni and Vidi (another Stremio clone) do on iOS via iCloud.
