I tried Kodi with Libelec but it’s still so jank. The Plex app is broken, there is no invidious or YouTube app I found that works. And sometimes it just “thinks” forever and I need to get up and unplug it.
I saw that Plasma Bigscreen was revived and it looks promising, but they don’t have a release yet.
Are there any other options?
I use mythtv (FOSS) and it’s fine as a PVR (schedule, record and playback broadcast TV) with a SiliconDust HDHomeRun network-attached tuner. It also has playback for downloaded files but I prefer to use mpv for that. Mine is still connected to the internet and I use firefox/transmission for youtube and other functions.
No idea about plex or jellyfin.
Android TV is FOSS, but given Google’s recent announcement I wouldn’t take it’s future openness for granted.
That said, I think it’s the best FOSS OS for TVs.
Lineageos I have several of these and they work great for the price. It is still android TV if that’s an issue, but they run fine without Google services for jellyfin, kodi and smartube.
Oh cool, thanks, it works with hdmi-cec? Android is not an issue exactly, I basically just want something to replace my TV “apps” but without ads and more private.
EDIT: did not fully read the comment. I have a raspbnerry pi.
there are decent lineageos builds for rpi btw
