Comment on Can anyone suggest any self-built Apple TV alternatives I currently use an Ap

I’ve been using Kodi/librelec on a Pi 5 for ages, just started playing around with Android TV LineageOS builds for it + Wholphin to browse my Jellyfin library. No Google Play Bullshit, slightly slower boot than librelec, CEC works nicely, only annoyance is that I have to manually hit the power button to turn it on. Unfortunately streaming services (allegedly) only do 480p because it lacks DRM Widevine stuff, but I stopped using anything but Jellyfin years ago. Might play around with some adfree alternate YouTube clients today on it, seems like there are plenty to choose from.

Libreelec was fine but the library syncing + UX wasn’t ideal. Android TV is a lot easier for other people in my life to navigate (but still not great).
