I’m getting tired of the extremely loud ads on that don’t seem to be subject to the old TV broadcasting laws that prevent them from being blasted 10db louder than the actual content. Wondering if there’s stuff out there that would let me take the hdmi stream from my Apple TV or other streaming source, and do ad detection like the olden days so that it could just mute or do volume leveling at least.
I suppose something very basic might just be an hdmi splitter to a rpi with hdmi that’ll detect ads via the black screens or “this ad will over over in 30s” overlays, then send a mute signal over CEC or something to a receiver or TV….but would be nice if it could modify the hdmi signal directly.
Thoughts on what to search for to do something like this?
Because I think this could be neat product……kinda like PiKVM, but maybe using ML to detect ads and make it a nice community tool to block in a device independent way. like hardware Adblock.
So you came here with zero technical expertise or knowledge about the situation, and asking for specific steps on how to do this in order to make a product? 😂🤣🤦 Hope there was some profit sharing involved somewhere.
How would ML detect ads? Do you know the difference between ML and CV? You may want to start there.
Get a Pihole or AdGuard endpoint and hope for the best if all you want is to remove ads.
no need to be rude
And you came here with nothing productive to add 🤣 we can both make useless comments it seems
I wouldn’t help people sniffing around and looking to profit from free help. 👍
I suspect we got off on the wrong foot when I called it a product instead of just a project idea, but I don’t actually disagree with that stance. Cheers.
