StreamingCommunityZ TV

TizenBrew mods module: turns streamingcommunityz.tech into a TV interface with D-pad remote navigation and player popup blocking. Runs on Samsung Tizen TVs via TizenBrew.

What it does

• D-pad navigation — arrows move a focus highlight between cards / buttons, OK clicks, BACK goes back.
• Spatial focus — geometric nearest-element-in-direction (no site cooperation needed).
• Popup blocking — kills window.open, blocks target="_blank" + cross-host ad links, sweeps overlay/ad nodes, bounces forced redirects.
• Player popup fix — the popunder fires on the first click over the player: a transparent overlay / anchor stacked above the vixcloud iframe swallows that click and opens the ad. We locate the player iframe and remove that click-catcher (CONFIG.blockPlayerOverlays). We do not sandbox the player: vixcloud has anti-sandbox security and refuses to play inside a sandboxed iframe (CONFIG.sandboxPlayer is false and should stay off).
• Recovery mode — if init fails repeatedly, removes all modifications so the site stays usable.

Site structure (analyzed live)

• Vue + scoped styles. Root #app.
• Cards: .slider-item > a[href*="/it/titles/{id}-{slug}"], cover img.cover-image.
• Play: a.play[href="/it/watch/{id}"] ("Riproduci"), grid buttons .play-btn / .play-wrap.
• Player chain: /it/watch/{id} → same-origin iframe /it/iframe/{id} → cross-origin vixcloud.co/embed → <video>.
• Because the <video> lives in a cross-origin iframe, parent-page JS cannot control playback or read inside it. Remote media keys are therefore passed through to the focused iframe (native player handles them).

Tizen / Chromium 47 constraint

The Tizen TV browser is Chromium 47, ES5 only. index.js is plain ES5 on purpose: no arrow functions, no let/const, no template strings, no export. Keep it that way.

Install / run on TV

Requires TizenBrew already installed on the TV.

1. Publish this package to npm:

   npm login
   npm publish --access public

2. On the TV: open TizenBrew → MarketPlace / Add module → enter tizenbrew-streamingcommunityz-tv.
3. TizenBrew opens websiteURL and injects index.js.
4. Test the remote: arrows navigate, OK clicks, BACK returns.

Iterate fast (without publishing each time)

Test the logic in desktop Chrome first — see test/desktop-test.md. Then bump + publish:

npm version patch && npm publish

Config

Edit the CONFIG block at the top of index.js:

| Key | Purpose | |-----|---------| | blockPlayerOverlays | true = remove the transparent click-catcher over the player that opens the popunder on play. Keeps vix working. | | sandboxPlayer | Keep false. vixcloud refuses to play sandboxed. Only flip on if you accept losing playback for a hard popup block. | | focusColor / focusSize | Focus highlight style. | | hideSelectors | CSS-hidden junk (ads, cookie banners, modals). | | extraFocusable | Non-<a>/<button> clickable selectors specific to this site. |

Known limits

• The popunder is blocked by removing the overlay click-catcher above the player. If the ad network changes its overlay shape, update killPlayerOverlays() (it targets anchors / external links / empty overlays stacked over the player center).
• A forced top-redirect to an ad domain is caught by the redirect-bounce (window.history.back).
• Media keys (play/pause/seek) can't drive the cross-origin <video>; focus the player and use its own on-screen controls via the D-pad.
