hum, why go the whole custom interface way when he could use kodi? I have a dumb HD (not gull HD, just HD, that’s how old it is) connected to a rPi with Kodi. Kodi has the jellyfin plugin to connect to my jellyfin server. I even had the DVB-T adapter so I can watch regular TV. When I’ll eventually buy a new TV I’ll just connect the rPi to the new one.
Isn’t rPi underpowered for anything media? Last one I tried to run even struggled just opening a browser, much less a video. rPi3 or something…
I’d love to see Linux folks figure out easy ways for consumers to replace the on board OS’s for any TV out there. Can that be done?
Buddy, we can’t even get phones fully working. Though apparently and Amazon echo can boot linux.
The issue usually is proprietary streaming services, not a lot of interest from them on Linux/etc support and the unofficial options are usually kind of janky. That does make total sense but also kills it’s chances of getting wide support / adoption which limits the growth of the projects.
DRM crap ruins the typical end user experience.
You can thank Torvalds for supporting TiVoization.
Huh? What did I miss?
