In plain English

This repository is a personal collection of configuration files for TVBox-style Android streaming applications popular in Chinese-speaking communities. TVBox and related apps let users watch video content from internet sources by loading a JSON configuration file that tells the app where to find streams and how to play them. Without a working configuration file, these apps have no content to show. The repository contains several JSON configs, each sourced from different community contributors and compatible with specific app variants. They are labeled with numbers and short names to indicate their origin: some come from a contributor called FongMi, some from a contributor called Panda Groove, and others from additional community sources. The README also includes a list of links to configuration files maintained by other community contributors, offered as alternatives. Four apps are recommended for loading these configs: FongMi TV, which supports multi-stream live channels, automatic source switching, variable playback speed, and casting to a phone, a version by q215613905 that supports live playback replay, a version by takagen99 with a more polished interface, and CatVod, described as having a clean interface and working across multiple platforms. The repository also lists URL endpoints that return random wallpaper images, which some of these apps can display as background images in their interface. The README, written in Chinese, states that all content is sourced from community sharing and is intended only for personal testing and study. It explicitly notes the content should not be used for commercial purposes or in violation of local laws. The repository owner states they cannot guarantee the legality, accuracy, or continued availability of any of the linked sources. Anyone who uses the repository is considered to have accepted those terms.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
I have the FongMi TV app installed on my Android TV box. Walk me through how to load a JSON config file from the gaotianliuyun/gao repository to get video sources working.
Prompt 2
The stream sources in my TVBox config stopped working. Help me find and load an alternative config from the gaotianliuyun/gao community list.
Prompt 3
Explain the structure of a TVBox JSON configuration file using the format from gaotianliuyun/gao, so I can understand what each field controls and make small edits to fix broken sources.
