Does anybody know of a proper alternative to Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV sticks, Roku sticks, etc.?
At the moment, I’m still using a Fire TV Stick with my old TV, but ideally, I’d like to replace it with something European. Is there anything?
Requirements are:
- Runs a Jellyfin client
- Apps for typical streaming services like Disney+, which I won’t be able to get rid of yet (I have people in the house who love Disney).
- Wi-Fi, ideally
- remote control so that we can control it easily from the couch
That sounds promising. Any idea how I could remote control it, though?
However one thing you need to be aware of, is that most apps will throttle your resolution to 720p with a setup like that.
There is basically no way to get proper streaming from these apps except by buying a completely premade android device, and then never ever messing with it.
The DRM system they use for this is called Widevine.
Get a USB dongle - you can probably use a generic one (I have one in my Xbox) but the Pi Hut has a few accessories which will be guaranteed to work. So pop this in and you should be able to use your old remotes.
Thanks, that looks promising 👍
