I had a Rapsberri Pi 4 (4GB) laying around and installed kodi/libreelec to use it with my TV.
I need it to do 3, maybe 4 things, but the experience was rather underwhelming.
- Jellyfin client I run a jellyfin server on my NAS. The jellyfin add-on needs several seconds or even a minute plus to load the content of big folders.
Jellycon has a different approach, but doesn't let me browse folders, which is a must for me (I use pinchflat to download some videos from YouTube channels. They are organized in folders)
-
YouTube Ideally I would love a freetube client for watching one off videos or finding a video on a certain topic. The YouTube add-on requires API access, sadly.
-
Twitch The add-on works great.
-
Remote I have a IR Mini Keyboard that works great with Kodi/libreelec
I was considering installing a lightweight Linux distro and installing freetube and a browser for twitch and jellyfin.
Does anyone use similar hardware? Is there a better solution for my use case?
(If there is a better affordable hardware solution, I'm interested as well)
