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?

    Roku is fine I guess. You can install jellyfin, moonlight, playlet and web video caster. Music I’ll just stream songs from playlet, but I assume you can use jellyfin and WVC for local phone stuff

    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.
