What are we doing for TVs these days software wise? - eviltoast

I have been using kodi but it just so limited and clunky. Android TV is better but that is a major challenge since Android TV is very tied to Google with not much existing outside of Google.

What I am looking for is a device that can work with mostly Jellyfin. I don’t use any streaming services. It would need to work flawlessly with a remote and I am looking for something that maintains itself mostly.

    Use the jellyfin kodi addon works very smoothly. I’ve been using it for two years and love it. I replaced all my chromecasts with kodi. It even has the approval of my wife.

      It isn’t bad but it does leave something to be desired. Mostly a UI that doesn’t require going though submenu after submenu. Also my remote control doesn’t work with kodi as it can’t handle key codes greater than 255
