This is all headed the right way but needs lots of love.

The Fladder TV guide UI is weird and needs fixing.

Kind of befuddled by the video playback issues with some files/streams but maybe I can throw some codec installs at it?

I also bought the stupidest air mouse/keyboard thingy and that was a mistake. Should've gone for a nicer one -- but I was hedging because I didn't know if this was going to work at all. I should've just waited but I guess $15 to find out this can work at all is ok

Looking fixing HDMI audio output on Neon and wow... maybe I should've chosen Kubuntu instead? But does that play as nice with Bigscreen? 🤷‍♂️

👆
So I bought this used Dell Optiplex 3050 for this.

Bigscreen won't show up HDMI audio so right now audio is coming out the tiny little PC speaker. Gotta sort that out.

I installed KDE Neon with Plasma Bigscreen and set it to autologin and fire up Bigscreen

Oh forgot to mention about Fladder

☑️ IPTV channels work

At least the ones that already worked previously on Roku however, owing to video failures above I suspect some may fail due to video codecs or something, too many to test all

👆
Ok so @hrast suggested Fladder and it is working pretty well (given the context of Bigscreen being pre-release still -- bugs)

So far it is fitting the bill for 10-foot interface -- can seem to do everything with remote (and presumably game controller) arrows, back, home, etc. no need for keyboard or mouse

✅ Music library works (fast)
☑️ Movie library works (some fail, need to investigate)
☑️ Show library works (some fail)
✅ Photo library works (fast)
☑️ Home videos works (some fail)

In case you don't know what I'm talking about

I am trying to find a replacement for Roku and other set top type thingies like Chromecast, FireTV ... I don't want that stuff anymore.

I do want a super easy to use interface.

And I do want casting from my phone to it.

I am currently trying Bigscreen and will try libreElec soon -- but I don't love kodi, I just don't.

To extend my doom...

I haven't seen the other Jellyfin apps on other webtv platforms... maybe *those* could port more easily to Linux?

I don't know anything about those other things... FireTV... WebOS... etc.

👆
I am going to say something truly evil.

What if there existed a BrightScript / SceneGraph ROKU emulation layer on Linux that could run ROKU apps in the context of BigScreen ?

The Jellyfin Roku app is exactly perfectly what is needed but on Linux

(You may destroy me now... I deserve it.)

Does anyone know if #jellyfin is planning a true 10-foot interface capable release for use with #KDE #Plasma #BigScreen ?

Meaning like... once it is setup, never having to touch a keyboard or mouse again... just remote buttons: up, down, left, right, back, home, and vol.

Using it with an air mouse is workable for me but others in my house would revolt. My life is at stake here.

What about #immich ?

AND - is Plasma BigScreen the only game in town right now? I mean apart from #kodi?

@murena 👀 any chance we'll see murena.io offer this?

I've got a beatiful red dress
and you'd look really good
standing beside it..
I've got a little jug of red sangria wine
and we could take little sips
from time to time
