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 😭

    Awesome suggestion! Only issue is… The gen 3 doesn’t have any app store or way (that I know of) of downloading anything new to the device. It’s kinda gotta go through some hacky method like hijacking existing apps on the system :/

    Edit: unless you’re referring to something like the other guy that mentioned jellyfin is talking about? (Sorry, I just woke up, I’m kinda stupid rn lol)

      Sorry, I had thought that all apple products had an app store of some kind. It would seem that the 3rd gen doesn’t though. Sorry. Does it have a web browser? Might be able to use Jellyfin’s web interface.
