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

Do you know of a good interface/OS/whatever for it that would allow easily using Jellyfin and Disney+ via a remote control?

You can run Android on it. Then you have your pick of apps.

That sounds promising. Any idea how I could remote control it, though?

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 👍

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.
