Usually piracy software tries to maintain a little plausible deniability, but here this is suggesting it will help you stream this weekend's newly released $250m blockbuster.

I thought the whole point of turnstile was that it detects headless browsers and it's supposed to be "difficult" to bypass. Apparently this just simulates clicking on the checkmark. Is it really that easy?

If you can make the browser pass all the other checks going on in the background, clicking the checkmark is all that's left.

Not just that. It also spoofs a bunch of browser stuff.

A standard headless browser will probably get flagged.

Seems to be missing some context. What is this used for? Piracy?

It's a CLI that lets you select a movie, finds a matching stream from streaming websites, transcodes it, burns in subtitles in real time, and tells your TV to play it.

Do I need to bring my own sources or is there a maintained list?

You mean the streaming website source ? You can use the one present in the config.yaml of the project, it works fine.

I agree, is the use case any video stream other than big established ( which already support casting)... So... bootleg sports streams?

It's an alternative way to cast media to your TV by way of somehow ripping the streaming video off said website or service.

This is interesting, instead of a command line interface it made me wonder what an interface right on the tv could look like.

Comparisons to watching tv, are usually a TV interface, with a TV device/app, be it an Android TV/Apple TV, etc.

Maybe I'm missing it, I couldn't see a tv interface.

The part where it can send video to any kind of tv is a pretty remarkable piece.
