Self-hosting adjacent, but you have to watch your jellyfin content somewhere, or connect to your audiobook store… Or even music… what do you guys use for music?
Anyway, Amazon’s firetv stick had a great remote. But sideloading on it comes to an end and it needs replacing. What do you guys have? Anything with a good remote and UI?
If you are in the US the onn 4K Streaming Device from Walmart.
I’m waiting for Plasma Bigscreen to be released (hopefully soon!) and then I plan to use a palm sized x86 PC from Aliexpress.
I use a mini PC with a wireless keyboard and mouse. There are also remote controls for media PCs if you don’t want to use a keyboard and mouse.
do you need dolby vision support? both profiles? that makes a difference
dolby vision support? both profiles? I didn’t even know what it was until 10 seconds ago… Well, I don’t think I need that.
I use a Vero V with my TV’s remote via CEC, it’s great, Kodi is awesome and it can look amazing with a good skin
Is Jellyfin FOSS? If not, what is good alternative?
I tried using Kodi, but found it very lacking and far too complicted to use (says the guy porting Linux to his phone for fun, lol)
Jellyfin FOSS
Github with GPL-2.0. So I guess yea, it is. I used Kodi in the past. But had major issues with the jellyfin plugin. I wouldn’t want to do that again.
I used to use Roku with ad blocking DNS on my local network, but I just started to become more and more unhappy with Roku, so I hooked up an old laptop and bought a wireless keyboard.
Computer and keyboard is the way.
