My dog tore up the remote so we were forced to use the roku app to control the tv.

They’re showing ads on the remote app. It feels like we can never escape this dystopian hellacape.

    Yes I am aware. I mainly use the Jellyfin app on it. I have a PiHole but I unfortunately can’t change the DHCP/DNS settings on my router (i have no admin access to it) so i have to rely change the DNS for every client on my home. But unfortunately Roku does not allow for changing their DNS server.

    I have heard about putting my roku on another submet but i don’t know how to do this. Any thoughts 🤔

      Buy another router to stick in between your ISP device and the rest of your network. You won’t notice.

        Yes! I noticed the video player UI changed, it looks pretty clean. Are you a Jellyfin developer? If so, I love you.

          I am. Funny enough, I’m the one who made the new video player OSD 🤘

          If so, I love you.

          Oh. Well, this is awkward. I think of you more as a friend…

      I believe that would rely on the modem settings… If you buy a router (eero, Google WiFi, etc.) and connect it to the Ethernet port, you could create a separate network and your modem would see your router as a single device. I have T-Mobile Internet but don’t trust them with my data, so in conjunction with the above, I have all my network traffic tunneled into AdGuard DNS (Personal Plan)(they have a free version that works well, but you can’t customize it).
