Jellyfin for shows and movies, Chora for Navidrome Music, and it works as a perfect little access to your homeserver.
I haven’t found an Android box that runs without Google services.
Kodi on a Pi is just meh at best imo.
Comment on Self-hosted TV interface solutions
Cherry@piefed.social 19 hours agoNot sure why you got downvoted. I use similar Mi boxes. I hate google but the tv has a throw away tv email. I would love to not have google involved.
I then have productivity launcher which i quite like. If i am wrong happy to be pointed in the right direction. generally use stremio/jelly/smartube

Yeh, agree. But for a lot of people they are the easiest option after Amazon/google/apple etc
Not everyone is techy enough to have means to pull components together and configure, And then put up with semi reliable solutions. People need to a knowledge this rather than downvote. It’s weird.
