Just hypothetical idea here, what if we token max using billionaire class subsidized llm, on a pi5 like device and make our own roku with ab openscad body. Put the client on every TV possible and the thumbnail is a middle finger? Just hypothetical of course wouldn't actually use overly subsidized AI coding agents for open purposes... That's crazy talk.
I understood maybe half of that paragraph, but LibreELEC exists if you have a Pi already.
No Pi? OSMC Vero is a Pi-like device in that regard. It doesn't have a middle finger thumbnail, but I'm sure something could be figured out.
Or just get a second-hand mini PC that's a few years old for like a hundred bucks and set it up to do whatever you want.
All of these devices would be standalone, so I'm not sure what you mean by putting the client on every TV. If you want to do a server / client type thing, I'd go for Jellyfin. The client for Jellyfin is already available on most smart TVs, but I don't condone the use of "smart" features built into TVs. All of the abovementioned devices will have a Jellyfin client available as well. For the server, you can use your existing laptop or PC, or cobble something together / pick up another mini PC to act as the server.
