I’ve found some discussions about hosting the Jellyfin server on lower end devices, but what about the client? I imagine the requirements to be pretty low, since a gen 2 Chromecast worked fine.

Has someone tried setting up a raspberry pi in kiosk mode? Can you suggest something cheap that would be good enough for 1080p?

    Cheap? There are chinese 15 bucks android TVs. Amazon sells theirs for 50 bucks and it can play almost everything.

    Amazon’s is crap because it’s like apple. You can’t do anything that amazon doesn’t want you to.

    Chinese might be spyware. I have no idea. The good thing is they are usually rooted and you have full access to it. You can do whatever you want. They can play 4k but no avi or DV.
