Pi4 just streaming Jellyfin, nothing fancy.
didn’t know infuse had a lifetime cost but look how that’s working out for plex.
I would rather ssh into a linux box I own to bash my head against bluetooth compatibility issues than have everything just work while a company sells every last bit of data they can steal from me.
While I’ve used the pi as a media server before and it did admirably I think you have the wrong idea, it’s just a set top client. A Pi Zero could probably do just as well or pretty much anything that can run Kodi … which rules out AppleTV sadly.
and I’m right there with you not supporting other peoples tech. My parents Chromecast got a PiHole exemption because screw explaining why they’re watching a static screen for 3 minutes where ads used to be … every time; if their tv app even loads without phoning home in the first place.
