Almost every smart TV platform is, at this point, a billboard for ads with your apps sprinkled in, but where...

    Yep, everything is fucked. You can put kodi on a raspberry pi though I guess

      You honestly got me thinking about the viability of throwing android TV on an RP4. I have one that I was going to use for a magic mirror, but I never got around to building it. I’m guessing I could find a remote and an IR module for the RP4, then just load android TV to it? Time to go down the rabbit hole…

        I wouldn’t put android TV. Kodi has plex and jellyfin addon and definitely won’t have ads ever, or if it does it’ll quickly be forked

          In case anybody sees this, you can use your normal TV remote with a pi
