I don’t want to use Osmc or LibreELEC. What I’m going for is something like Android TV (tried using LineageOS but that didn’t work out for me).
I was interested in something like Plasma Bigscreen but most of the tutorial is about 4 years old and point to using an old image.
I installed the Debian package. After that, I logged in and set Automatic login
, and switch the session to Plasma Bigscreen (x11)
. After applying and a reboot, it launched Plasma Bigscreen but some widgets (like the audio, KDE Connect) froze when clicking on them.
What do you recommend? I prefer to use a Raspberry Pi.
jcarax ( @jcarax@beehaw.org ) 12•2 months agoWhat’s your use case that OSMC and LibreELEC don’t work? I think those are going to be common recommendations, so knowing why they don’t suit you would be helpful.
I used Kodi in the past as a standalone app but then switched over to Emby. I have Emby set to play my media and also setup to play stations on my custom IPTV server. Installing the Emby client on my mobile or or using the browser will have access to that media since I set that up on the Emby server. Wife and the kids are use to the interface too. Have to keep them happy.
Also I would like to install some Linux compatible games on it.

I was so desperate I was thinking of reprogramming a wireless number pad cherry MX low profile or something.
It should have volume buttons, arrow keys, previous, next, pause, etc… Something a old person could understand.
Numbers and alphabet not required.
