I have been using kodi but it just so limited and clunky. Android TV is better but that is a major challenge since Android TV is very tied to Google with not much existing outside of Google.

What I am looking for is a device that can work with mostly Jellyfin. I don’t use any streaming services. It would need to work flawlessly with a remote and I am looking for something that maintains itself mostly.

    Thank you for sharing this, it looks really promising

    I’m tired of only hearing of Kodi suggested in threads like this. I don’t get why it’s so popular, it’s confusing for non-tech oriented people, you can’t stream, YouTube functionality is questionable, the interface is dated looking and IMO an eyesore…

    Some people like Kodi and that’s great but it sucks balls for other people and there’s barely ever any mention of any sort of alternative (like your comment)

    These threads are usually just:

    “I need a device or software for watching tv that works with a remote”

      Kodi isn’t for streaming from services like netflix and YouTube. It’s used to stream offline video files over the local network.

        Well a) yeah I know I said that in my comment

        And b) you can get a YouTube plugin for Kodi IIRC

        So what’s your point?
