I have a MiTV box with Android that runs apps for Jellyfin, Prime Video and Disney Plus. I would like to replace it with a mini PC, like some N100 box, to have more control over what runs on it. I tried a Pi with Kodi once, but I hate the UI so much. It’s just not my thing.
What other options do I have with self-hosted alternatives? I want a central UI like AndroidTV offers, I need Jellyfin, Disney Plus, Prime Video and some local TV station’s streaming offerings and some remote control.
I don’t think that’s possible, as you can only run Disney and Prime in a browser or their apps. And using a browser on the TV is not nice UX. But maybe some of the great people here have cracked that nut and can help me.
If the AppleTV allowed side loading, it would be my dream device. The UX and the speed of Apple devices are just so damn pleasing. But the artificial limits they impose on what you can run on them is damn frustrating.
UI is garbage and remote sucks. I like the spec but my god is typing on the remote cumbersome. Intentionally so but it makes me hate them more.
