Good day! I am trying to find a good alternative as not to use the"smart" functions or using an Xbox to consume our media. I found a few options ie like plasma big screen but it’s no longer in development. Essentially I would line love to have it running on an rpi4 and just hooked up to the TV.
I’ve done that and as long as you don’t need one of the mainstream streaming apps, it seemed to work well . Just give it a try. It’s not a lot of work.
Edit: As far as I remember it, it didn’t have (the needed?) DRM support
Edit2: Tested on RPi5
