I want to try to set up a Raspberry Pi I have as a smart TV box and I was hoping I could find some advice.

My main requirements are:

  • can run Moonlight
  • can be controlled from a Bluetooth game controller (that should also work in Moonlight)

What would be nice:

  • can run VLC or Plex or something
  • can support AirPlay
  • can be used for some actual streaming services like Netflix

Any suggestions?

    The lifetime subscriber bit makes a lot of sense. I didn’t have a Plex Pass and ditched them last year when the enshittifcation became worse than the effort to move everything over to Jellyfin. Basically swapped overnight once I was committed.

      Yeah I have 40+ family members and friends who access my library through Plex…it’s going to be a much more bumpy ride for me and that’s basically why I have this transition period.

        That’s super fair, I only have the people under my roof :)

        Holy shit. Hats off to you for 40 person media management.

        I would absolutely not want to take that on 😅
