It just doesn't exist. You will need some kind of mini PC like Raspberry Pi. I Use a mini PC from Beelink.

If you just want a media station with some basic apps a Raspi with LibreELEC is perfect. Your TV remote will work out of the box and there are plugins for Netflix, Disney, etc... available.

If you want a little more, like a working browser and / or some light gaming I would suggest a full OS with a little beefier PC like the ones available at Beelink.

How do you use your tv remote to control Jellyfin?

[–] ISOmorph@feddit.de 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't use jellyfin and I stopped using a raspi as media pc. My new media pc doesn't have an IR receiver so I use a mini bluetooth keyboard. While I used a raspi on my tv I had to dowload the correct IR package for the raspian distro I used and configured it. Or you could use Librelelec which has the IR support OOTB and check if there is a jellyfin plugin

Rii makes some cool mini keyboards with touchpads on them.
