"Gosh that sounds like our LG"
"Of course it's a fucking LG."
There are many bars available which have remote control learning.... e.g Yamaha YAS-306. Its just 2-3 mins job and you dont have to do these hacks. I have one from early 2000s which works perfect.y
This article is about replacing the IR remote control with an HTTP interface. Are there any bars available on the market that can learn how to pick up such wireless transmissions and respond to their requests?
Good post. Honestly though, I’m more interested in making smart devices dumb. Rip out their Wi-Fi hardware etc.
I find it easier to start with a dumb device. However as that increasingly looks not so possible for TVs, I'd love to see somebody document the process for what you propose.
I've had thoughts of a project for making my TV smart but never got started on it. I think developing a ML vision model for detecting commercials during sporting events or detecting YouTube ads and when the skip ads button appears would be a fun and not too complicated project. But connecting it to hardware with an infrared remote seemed significantly harder and this project confirms my worry. It might still be possi…
There's already tooling to do this, back when MythTV in 2005ish (iirc). Also, this for Youtube. It's enabled on StreamNextTube and works a charm https://sponsor.ajay.app/

When a commercial is detected, the program sends a http request to a local server running on a Raspberry Pi. The Pi has an infrared remote control transmitter, and uses LIRC to send commands to a Polk sound bar.

That's actually really cool. I have a polk soundbar, which already does have a IR remote, but it doesn't actually do anything...

For the most part, don’t connect to Wi-Fi and use hdmi in. If you’re one of the lucky few with a tv that will wardrive your neighborhood looking for open networks, find the Wi-Fi chip and pull it off.
