magic_mapper VS PiHoleBlocklist

You have to root your TV, but it is possible to disable the mouse pointer using Magic Mapper, and it can also be used to create shortcut buttons to those HDMI-CEC functions (such as a button to send the Home command to the XBox.

If you want to setup a shortcut on your remote to swap it, you would need root your TV and then you could use this to setup the remote shortcuts (note it doesn't have direct support for audio output switching yet, but should soon, or you could setup HA as mentioned above and then this can trigger HA automations): https://github.com/andrewfraley/magic_mapper

IF you want to use your magic remote to do this, you will have to root your TV. This project will support using a magic remote button to set a Dynamic Tone Mapping value. Alternatively, but still requiring root, in the WebOS HomeBrew store there is a project called LGInputHook that can also do this.

I rooted my TV and reprogrammed the remote so that the channel up and down buttons control the oled backlight, also made one of the color buttons cycle the energy savings mode. The channel buttons to change brightness is killer, though.

FYI, if your TV is rooted (rootmy.tv, or if it's too new: https://github.com/RootMyTV/RootMyTV.github.io/issues/85#iss...), you can remap the remote: https://github.com/andrewfraley/magic_mapper

There's a specific list for it: https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/

It's listed on https://firebog.net/

For what it's worth that domain in your repo is also listed in the 1Hosts block-list [1] but only in the Xtra category, not sure why. It seems that is a known malware site. Oddly enough it is not listed in the PiHoleBlocklist [2]

[1] - https://github.com/badmojr/1Hosts [listed but only in Xtra]

[2] - https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist.git [not listed]

Here’s a specific blocklist for Smart TVs that can be used in Adguard Home: https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist

Smart-TV Blocklist

For example, https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/blob/master/SmartTV.txt blocks tons of crap tv's send out, but firewalla doesn't stop much of it and you know how smart devices are. Yes, you could make a manual list, but is insanely time intensive. Smart devices on my network; nextdns blocks over 10000 connections a day.

I use this [1] and never seen an ad on my LG TV. Its only for Smart TVs. It blocks all the major TV ad networks too but can't tell how successful it is on other TVs since I only have LG.
