  • Android TV is what I’m trying to escape 😀

    Thanks for the suggestions, I guess I’ll look around for a pre-configured Kodi setup, people say that can be good.

    I did give plasma bigscreen a try, but overall it seems to be not working well on straight x86 hardware, it’s intended for ARM devices mostly it seems.


  • I have an old laptop hooked up my tv already, but using the Bluetooth keyboard and TouchPad to navigate traditional desktop focused applications is such a cumbersome activity that both my husband and I never bother to use it, we just grab the remote and use the default tv interface.

    I was specifically asking about the remote control and more tv- like interface software. I’ve never managed to get kodi to be anything good, not sure what I’m missing with that but it’s always super clunky and bad to use.

    Someone else suggested plasma big screen, I’m going to install and try and get that configured up today, see how it goes.
