Oct 15, 2020 Go go on streaming devices 15 Oct 2020 02:55 PM Really trying to ascertain if Sky can be used on any streaming devices (Roku, etc). Or with Chromecast (without Mirroring). You need to enable JavaScript to run this app.
I have just discovered that sky.go application is able to 'hide' video when detects a tool like OBS is running in the system. That is technically awesome and I would like to understand how it does it and also scary because I cannot capture it either when using desktop capture!
So I have some ideas:
1. Recompile OBS using a different name and title and so on, so process is not recognizable (unfortunately it did not work; it is still able to hide it)
2. Running sky.go in a VM and capture from the host system (not done because I think it will not be qualitative)
3. Understand how sky.go does it with your expertise and improve OBS as well
EDIT: I think is somehow able to use some filtering from DirectShow but I just guess it, since I don't have video/audio knowledge.
Someone knows more about above?
Thanks
Some things are just made to be watched on a big screen. So, when it comes to Sky Go, there are times you want to ditch that laptop, tablet or smartphone and kick back in front of a TV. Here’s how to stream Sky Go on your TV.
Sky Go has been around for some time now and it’s gone through several iterations, including some confusing crossovers with the Sky Q app. The app’s main function is letting you watch your Sky package over the internet – a super useful feature when you’re away from home or just not in the same room as your Sky box.

Sky Go Streaming Live
While being able to watch Sky on your Android or iOS device – from a Samsung Galaxy phone to an iPad – will be a marvel for some, sometimes it just isn’t good enough. The heart-pounding action scenes of Game of Thrones or Gangs of London on even the largest mobile device just won’t do.
We’ve put together this handy guide to show you just how to watch Sky Go on a TV.

How do I stream Sky Go to my TV?
Kicking things off on a bit of a downer, the simple answer is you can’t. Never fear, you can get Sky Go on a TV using a good ol’ cable.
Unfortunately, Sky is yet to add any kind of casting function to the Sky Go app – as you can do with other streaming services like Netflix or Amazon – and this means there’s no way to shift the app’s mobile content from your phone or tablet to a TV. A lack of a Sky Go app on smart TVs doesn’t help the situation either.

Instead, you’ll need to grab your laptop and download Sky Go if you haven’t already. The next step is to check what connections your laptop has and, fingers crossed, it has an HDMI port and you’ve got a handy HDMI cable lying around.

Other solutions include a VGA/DVI connection on some older machines or a more flexible Thunderbolt port, but HDMI is the simplest way of going about things. Here’s exactly how to do it:

- Open the Sky Go app on your laptop
- Find what you want to watch and go fullscreen
- Attach the HDMI cable to your laptop
- Plug the other end into a free HDMI port on the back of the TV
- Make sure you are on the correct HDMI input on the TV and you are all set
