I have a jellyfin and a plex server, but nothing has ever been as simple as the roku where we can just hit the button to turn the tv on and fire up youtubetv or pick one of the media servers to watch a movie or show and then a menu item to turn the tv off again when we're done.. it's more just the device that interfaces with the servers than anything else and it's getting really cumbersome now. unfortunately we have one for each of the tvs.. 1 in the living room, 1 in the kitchen, and 1 in the bedroom... my partner is a big tv junkie.
is there something else that handles those three functions with a remote? that's really all that's needed to be honest
Not sure yet honestly. Right now I'm running a Windows PC into the TV with a bluetooth keyboard and trackball. I'm looking at some universal remote controls with built in keyboards and Linux distros for it. Right now I'm just working out the kinks of my network right now so it's not my #1. Lemme get back to you in the next month or so.
right on, if you find a good solution i'm all ears.. honestly I haven't even looked much since we got our first roku and it did what we wanted, but it's probably time to find something else
Here's a link to one of the useful parts of
https://www.reddit.com/r/htpc/comments/13vrwlr/what_is_everyone_using_as_a_remote/
Some interesting product ideas in there, I think there's got to be a Linux distro that's like Debian that just goes to the 'apps' menu first.
