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.
LibreELEC is a Linux option if you want a full-featured device. LibreELEC (or Kodi, which is the application that actually does the heavy lifting) has both Jellyfin and Disney+ add-ons (although I can't personally vouch for how well they work).
Android TV is also available for the Pi and is another fine option.
Jellyfin is a nice enough interface, don’t know if you integrate Disney+
I heard it's pretty jank when it comes to apps like Disney+ or Netflix, some stuff don't work etc. Might be good for Jellyfin though?
Nokia has one. Technically it's Finnish but there is some Chinese money involved.
You may be interested to know that while they're Nokia branded, the brand is just being used under licence. The actual manufacturer is StreamView, from Austria.
Yes by a company called HMD. They actuality continued the vision of Nokia and I think what they're doing is pretty good. They make a lot of feature phones and I owned the Nokia 8 which was pretty good for the money.
HMD have the licence for phones, StreamView have the licence for TV devices. They're different, unrelated companies, other than the branding.
Not a proper alternative really. Some of your own set up too, you could buy a laptop or small form factor PC? Lots of great Linux distros to get on there.
I have done that in the past, using a raspberry pi. I was using Plex (Rasplex) back then. The main problem was convenience, mostly with the possibility to have proper remote control from the couch.
For just myself, this could possibly work, but it’s a non-starter for the non technical people in my house. They need a remote control on the couch and the ability to easily open different streaming apps with that.
Not really, unfortunately.
