Sorry if this the wrong place, I couldn’t find an HTPC, home theater, techsupport, or equivalent instance to ask.
The gist is I want to add a TV to my master bedroom for my wife to just browse the web, and for my kids to have something to watch in the mornings while my wife gets out of bed. I have a main pc in my theater room for gaming, and an HTPC on projector for movies and stuff. I don’t want to get a roku or any mainstream smart device, but I’m OK with getting something like a raspberry pi (never done this) to have an air mouse hooked up to the TV so my wife can browse the web, open YouTube, Netflix, steam books, Spotify, as well as access my pc library of content for viewing. Not for gaming. Everything I’m finding online is people connecting their pc to their TV and it’s always for gaming. I don’t need large processing, just enough to watch things, while connecting to my home computers.
Thank you.
I’m thinking of the odrioid N2 after doing a little bit of research. It’s the finding the TV that might be an issue as you’ve said. I don’t want those smart tv’s and their countless user agreements and BS ads. I don’t want ads so bad, I’ll burn my TV down if I see any.
I have Odroid-N2 with CoreELEC. Works as my media center in living room, but I use it only to stream video from my jellyfin server.
The only problem I have is that I have to control it from a phone app, not a remote. There are ways to do that, but I couldn’t be bothered
