i have some shit hisense 75" TV. i really hate the pozzed display and the fact that i have to do like 5 clicks to get to the plex app. could i just make a minimal smart TV OS with plex on a raspberry pi and plug it in via HDMI?
yes
>>108440700Of course. Get a mini PC and a remote / gyroscopic mouse.
>>108440770OP said they want to use a Pi
>>108440774I saw but I don't see the point in a Pi when you can get a Haswell or Skylake mini PC for 60 eur instead of a overpriced and slower Pi. OP is obviously not that wealthy if they have a Hisense TV.
>>108440779I.e. >Inb4 HPGet Dell, Lenovo, they are all the same shit.
>>108440700you should look at kodi as well. there's some project rot, but it does have extensibility and extensions that may do things you want.
>>108440785Lenovo and dell are actually tooless for disk, fan, ram. Hp need screwdriver to open and remove components and have a flimsy flat cable for disk interface that fails often instead of a single piece solid plastic connector on the competition.HP will never be a good option
>>108440911Toolless or not really doesn't matter, they aren't going to service it every day. Just get the one with the best specs for least money available to you. All of them are used, "old" anyways, might brake any second and you have no idea what they have been trough.
You won't get muh Dolby Vision profiles unless you use one of a few certain devices softmodded with CoreElec
>>108440936OP's Hisense sure has great Dolby Vision or HDR. It's a budget TV, even their MiniLED models are crap.
>>108440936not OP but I have a PC connected to a LG C5 and it has working Dolby Vision
>>108440958It can probably play the dv profiles made for streaming but not ones in rips of 4k discs
>>108440700Firestick.Cheapest option and Every media streaming platform is natively supported.If it's local just use DLNA.
>>108441413This is a good option. Streaming platforms, local media playback and ad-free YouTube.
>>108440936I have 3 Ugoos AM6B+, because they are unicorns and FEL capable players will become scarce.>>108440958KEK No you do not, buddy. Profile 5 and 8 aren't truly DV. Quite frankly, no OLED TV Thai cousins to be DV compatible actually is.
>>108441726
>>108441764Listen buddy, about a year ago, I was just like you. Did exactly the same thing—posted a picture of my TV with Dolby Vision triggered banner. I'm telling you DV Profile 5 and Profile 8 are NOT the same as DV P7. Get FEL or get out.
>>108441774
>>108441784I accept your concession.
>>108441792Oh, and no GPU can do DV. enjoy, retard
>no GPU can do DVImagine being this wrong. Faggot is literally living in 2017 still.
>>108441814>what is bait
>>108441814techtard detected
>>108441764>>108441774>>108441792know-nothing retard spotted. LLDV (Player-LED) isn't DV. The DV licences sold to Windows and in some cases, Apple, is merely low-tier P5 and P8. Not even Netflix can out output real DV.
>sold to WindowsHe isn't even trying anymore, lmao.
>>108441850Strictly speaking, even a rtx 5090 struggles with realtime FEL = P7 = real DV, because the Windows display driver stack isn't licensed for it.
>>108440700its called coreelec retard
>>108441850Btw retard, Sony does DV P7 better than LG, although LG isn't anything to scoff at. Especially at the 65" and up displays.
>>108441913And? Why are you telling me that?
>>108441957
>>108440779>>108440785There's a reason why your router still uses a MIPS/ARM CPU: Nobody wants a noisy fan or a heater in their bedroom. The same applies to a Raspberry Pi in your living room, it's better than a mini PC in that respect.
does the pi 4 do 4k? I know the 5 doesn't have the encoder hardware
>>108442150Those shits are literally inaudable after a clean and repaste. You can also reduce the wattage and they are still faster and cheaper than a Pi.
>>108442127I still don't get it though. What's your point with Sony and LG?
>>108442165tard thinks you're me >>108440958
>>108440700I've been thinking about doing something similar myself from scratch using Alpine linux.I've figured out how to configure a basic remote input using lirc but I can't decide on a good VM/DE.I've tried plasma-bigscreen but I don't like it, anyone tried something similar? Is there a simple VM you can customize to make an interface similar to what you find on a firestick or ye-old PS3 menu? Just big blocks that represent shortcuts to websites or simple bash scripts.
>>108440958>>108442165Sametranny
>>108442174Use Steam with big picture mode.
>>108442996Does that let me launch. custom bash scripts / any arbitrary program? I thought it was exclusivelly for steam games.
>>108440700buy a mac neo and use that to drive the tv over thunderbolt
>>108443034Yes you can add scripts as 'non steam game' or any program you want to run.
>>108443316Neat. I'll look into it.
>>108440700So, I was thinking about this the other day and... Could FirefoxOS be our saviour?Panasonic used it for over a decade as their SmartTV OS, could it feasibly be an open source alternative to GoogleTV, FireTV and tvOS?
>>108444384>company that publicly declared that it wants be whored out as an ad company will be our savior
>>108444473The software is open source. Fork it.
>>108440779link? I'm looking for something to put retropie onN95 mini pcs are in the 200 euro range now
