Ah ok I got it thanks, yes the goal is to replace the apps on my TV as seamlessly as possible.

KDE bigscreen says it supports CEC but there is no official release yet. I still might give it a shot. I actually tried the Android TV you linked to (which also says it supports CEC) but it doesn’t work. I know the hardware supports it because Libelec was seamless.

You’re saying wayland is an interface that works with tv remotes and hdmi-cec? I looked it up and it seems to be not that.

I mentioned in the post that I did try LibreELEC but the Plex plugin is very buggy and there is no functioning youtube plugin.

Thanks, I found a LineageOS build of Android TV I’m currently trying to get it up and running. CEC seems like it might be broken however which would sadly be a dealbreaker.

Thanks yes I found one here: https://konstakang.com/devices/rpi5/LineageOS22-ATV/

Oh cool, thanks, it works with hdmi-cec? Android is not an issue exactly, I basically just want something to replace my TV “apps” but without ads and more private.

EDIT: did not fully read the comment. I have a raspbnerry pi.

I fully agree with this comment. Aurora (or Fedora Kinoite, very similar) is the first Linux I have been able to use full time. It should feel familiar and like a breath of fresh air to a longtime windows user. Immutability allows me to tinker without feeling overwhelmed.

Haven’t tried Bazzite but my understanding is that it works just fine as a deskop OS too!

But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.

ok

Sorry to have annoyed you.

idk I find $2/month to be very reasonable. I don’t feel squeezed.

EDIT: Just to be clear there is no amount of condescending replies form trilby wearing neckbeard keyboard warriors that will change my opinion.

I know it’s fashionable to shit on Plex here, but OP either has his server misconfigured or is just trying to stir the pot:

Also the weekly intentionally misunderstanding how Plex pass/Plex remote pass works in order to complain:

Free to Use: Video (movies & TV) streaming of personal content on the same local network as the Plex Media Server

Wow, 7tb for $21/month. That’s much better than I’ve been seeing.

Problem with that is there is no backup in case of flood/fire/tornado etc.

Yeah it sucks because Microsoft charges $10/mo for 6tb.

Anyone know of a good managed hosting (or vps) for Immich that doesn’t break the bank? I have about 5TB of photos/videos and I don’t feel safe without a remote backup. I played with self hosting and I really (really) like Immich but I keep Google photos/Drive just to ensure I won’t lose anything.

Hm I like that idea. That’s a bit out of my wheelhouse but worth looking into. Maybe also have two zones? A larger one to trigger the location update?

Hmm my phone always takes a few minutes to update that I’m home.

Ah ok thanks, so just to be clear, when you come home it will still “alert” you to an “intruder” (until your GPS updates presumably).
