i think about this castle daily. i have a framed photograph of this castle in my bathroom. it is pretty <3

i feel like the odd one out whenever i tell people i dont want the shitty ide launcher for jetbrains products on my computer. i havent used their products because of that launcher.

whoa - this looks amazing!

i am definitely still in the working phase of wanting something, so i will be checking this out again within the week. thank you!

kodi is really good for local media, but none of my media is local. instead of using the smartTV-style jellyfin UI, jellyfin indexes the media from the server and throws up a text-only list of media in a folder structure. if i rip another movie, it needs to be indexed.

though it is pulling the index and functioning as expected, it makes the experience feel like browsing in dolphin for spreadsheets instead of getting ready for movie night.

the experience was bad enough where i just plugged the old streaming stick back in and hid my failur. i didnt tell the wife about my experience (she hates the streaming stick and wanted an OSS option). i said i would deliver one, so she thinks i just haven’t done it yet. :(

the creation of a non-kodi htpc/media center alternative that works like a smart TV OS and works on a raspberry pi would get me to change my streaming device.

i stream jellyfin from a home server, and jellyfin on kodi is painful to use :(

an OS that can be controlled with tv-controller buttons and has an interface similar to any of the other players in this space would make me throw away my nvidia shield tv in a heartbeat

so rally round your PC… with a pocket KVM

i am currently setting one up so i have no input as far as ease of use, good/bad/etc. yet, however i have a

raspberry pi, flashed

libreelec to the sd card, and plan to get

castagnaIT to run some proprietary streaming services alongside

jellyfin that i host on my home server. i just ordered a

SofaBaton U2 remote for BT and IR commands; i hope to not really need k&m after setup
