What is the best #foss solution to replace #roku or #firestick or #googletv ?

Something in a small package that run #jellyfin or #Plex or be a #cast target?

@limebar i would love to know about this too. Still using a roku stick on one tv for jellyfin.

Maybe add the #selfhosted tag?

@limebar raspberry pi would be my bet.

I'd imagine you could also take an older cell phone with USB-C and rig that up to work too.

@R_3_T_3_C_H are you thinking of a specific set of software too? i get that jellyfin and plex could run there but is there a casting solution (from android in my case)

@limebar Not really, I figure there must be something out there. I don't use anything like it though. I just put everything on an HDD and have an old mac play via VLC. Always wanted to put plex on it, but just too lazy and too distracted by other projects.

I've used some rPi's in art and have a cell I use to edit relatively basic video because it still can render faster than my M1 Max mbp. How that is, I will never know. But 1hr 1080 mkv or mp4 renders in 30% of the time the mac does.
