"Sony bavaria" LMAO

It's "Bravia"! Bavaria is a German state.

Fixed it!

Seems like samsungqbe.com and subdomains are required for smart TV functions to work well.

Hi, here are a few domains which can be blocked for fire TV os.
as far as i can tell this removes the junk from the home screen, but still lets you watch prime video, if you have it.

Other fyxxxx are already added. Looks like 2019 stands for Fiscal Year?

Hello,
blocking www.ecdinterface.philips.com blocks Philips hue bridge from being controlled by the Hue App outside the house

Hello,

Blocking api.nfl.com blocks the nfl fantasy app. App won't start with that domain blocked.

Thanks.

@KOX599 Updated, with the exceptions of cloudservices.roku.com (does blocking that affect any other Roku services?) and samsung.net/ads (can't block paths, only domains/subdomains)!

I found more

I don't know, maybe more blocks, I'm not sure. cloudservices.roku.com and this is samsung.net/ads i forgot to delete

how to gist to raw ?

how to gist to raw ?

Add /raw to the end of this url.
It becomes: https://gist.githubusercontent.com/hkamran80/779019103fcd306979411d44c8d38459/raw

aviary.amazon.de should absolutely be blocked, but also aviary.amazon.com

With my Fire TV, I also have strange requests to

o2r2hew432.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
andr-25-aftkmst12-641002610.api.amazonvideo.com
prod.amazoncrl.com
arcus-uswest.amazon.com

that I believe can be blocked.

Whoops sorry. Must have been mistaken

No worries!
