Hello guys I’m searching for a piece of software in with I can watch/launch things links a Netflix webapp freetube Plex/jellyfin or something like that in a format where I can just sit back with a remote or mouse and navigate around the gui’s
The Problem with plasma bigscreen is that I don’t have a arm system just laying around and whant to install it on a x86 architecture CPU
Maybe it’s obvious, but how about Kodi?
It has support for CEC (for utilizing your TV’s remote through HDMI), of course there are other input options as well.
There’s plenty of plugins to support online video services. Needs some work to configure them, and sometimes it requires maintenance when a plugin stops working, but I was in general happy with the way it worked while I used it for a few years.
It’s worth mentioning that HDMI CEC is spotty on Kodi. I’ve had no problem with it on a Pi or CCwGTV, but if you try to convert a desktop or laptop into a media center PC, chances are the HDMI output won’t do CEC, and you’ll need an adapter (further reading: https://kodi.wiki/view/CEC#CEC-capable_HTPCs)
That’s vecause amd and nvidia doesn’t incorporate hdmi-cec into their gpus and isn’t kodis fault. Iirc intel nucs may do some limited cec.
