      I’ve been looking to do something like that.

      I have a NAS running my JellyFin server in a container, i’d like to have the box/pc connected to my tv running something open source with the respective clients for my streaming services.

      Kodi seems like it’s a hassle to get streaming apps working seamlessly.

      I’m about to make my own android tv box with a raspberry Pi 5

      Tried to use it straight with Linux as an OS but emby (paid jellyfish) didn’t quite work well enough

      I feel like Jellyfin is a better solution than something like Plex, but I still feel like there is a trade off. I’m not dealing with ads, accounts, and content appearing / disappearing. But I was the TV and media library’s sys admin in the house, and that came with a different set of inconveniences.

        Tbh Kodi is just kinda a hassle in general. I much prefer Jellyfin and will probably ditch Kodi in favor of it in the near future.

          That’s absolutely correct, and something to keep in mind in case you’re already stressed out with work or lacking free time

          Exactly. I’m exchanging some amount of money and time in order to watch stuff on my TV and phone. These days I’m exchanging a bit more money because I have less time.
