I never want to get a smart TV, but I found this exact TV (Toshiba FireTV) on the side of the road and decided it would be a fun project to try enhancing its privacy as much as I can. It did not come with the remote or any other accessories besides the TV, so if there is any way to pair an iPhone/Pixel as a remote that would also be good. Is there any way to replace the software with something open source, and anything else I can try?
Thank you all!
I have a similar use case, what do you recommend on the pi for a TV OS?
OSMC (Debian based), if you want to install additional software or LibeELEC if you like to use only Kodi.
I would just use kodi honestly. You can hook jellyfin into it
Why use kodi *and *jellyfin? Jellyfin is its own thing, and without all the awful cruft that comes with Kodi.
It also has native apps for windows, linux and… FireTv.
