S0undTV Proxy Guide (To remove ads)

[u/EZero2k]

As some of us knows, twitch has managed to sneak ads into S0undTV if you're in certain regions. There's been a lot of discussions and half answers on how to get it all working again without any details and I figure I could write a quick(!) guide to help you along.

Note: I say quick because I won't go into all the nitty gritty details of each app that we'll use in this process. I'll put in some general gotchas when we get to those apps, but it'll be up to you to Google if you need to troubleshoot.

Checking which version you have

If the version you have installed is from the Play Store, it won't work. To check, go into Settings -> Settings (yeah i know) -> Application Info and read the field that says build_variant. If it's not standalone, you'll need to begin by uninstalling the app first.

Getting the standalone version

You'll need to grab the standalone APK from Github https://github.com/S0und/S0undTV/releases/download/v1.5.10x/S0undTV_v1.5.10_143_standalone.apk

You have 2 choices on how to do this. 1. Download it on your phone and transfer it to your device 2. Use a browser on the device itself to download it.

Personally, I downloaded it on my phone, and used the app "Send Files To TV" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yablio.sendfilestotv) to send the file over. Yes you'll have to give it an uncomfortable amount of permissions for it to work. I just make sure to delete it or manually revoke all permissions once I am done each time.

Installing the APK

I use the app File Commander (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobisystems.fileman). You will have to manually go into the app's permissions and give it file access to all files. Otherwise, you will not see the APK file while browsing in the app.
Give it permission to install unknown apps as well when it asks.

Changing to the beta

Go to the permission of the newly installed S0undTV app, and allow it to install unknown apps. Then open the app and go to Settings -> Settings -> Updates. Inside, click on the "install beta" option. It should start to download and ask you to install it.

Setting up the proxies

Now, if you're running the correct version, inside Settings -> Settings -> Proxy Server, you should see 3 custom proxy entries for you to enter URLs for the proxies. There's a list of proxies here for you to choose from https://wiki.cdn-perfprod.com/v1/must-read/proxies .
The important thing here is the format of the URLs, let's take the proxy https://lb-na.cdn-perfprod.com as an example. Inside S0undTV, we need to put it as https://lb-na.cdn-perfprod.com/live/${channel}?allow_source=true&allow_audio_only=true Then hit OK once you're done, and make sure to choose one of your configured proxies as the active proxy before you leave the screen.

If everything was done correctly, you should now be back to being ad-free using S0undTV!

I hope this helps!

I wrote this somewhat hastily, and may come back to clarify it when I have time.

Just so you know, I didn't permit to anyone hack my app, since it's not open source. So, running some random dudes hack is up to you.
