## Useful for

- Switch the TV to an HDMI input and launch an app from the Mac menu bar.
- Wake the TV over LAN and navigate its interface with the touchpad.
- Serve a local H.264 MP4 or JPEG file to the TV for playback.

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-20 (UTC), 00:30–07:26: 118 → 119 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +5 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 7 days old and already has 119 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 16
- Issues and pull requests: 1
- Watchers: 0

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
