My retired pi 4 now runs plasma big screen so I can stream from questionable sources
Had been waiting for my pi 5 argon case which got lost in the post before I could set this up. Ive been tinkering with an old SFF PC running arch over the last few months to get a "smart tv" set up going that im happy with, now ive condensed it down into a little debian box that uses a fraction of the electricity. Happy days.
Channel 4
Yes, highly questionable that one!
Hahaha
How do you control that from the couch? Wireless keyboard and mouse, or something else?
You could use a wireless game pad
Wireless keyboard with a touchpad. I picked up an argon remote too im going to try do something useful with a python script for it
please, share with us a little bit more about your setup(hardware and software)
Hardware: pi 4b 4gb ram overclocked and on ethernet, argon one case with m2 sata ssd expansion (usb drive seemed to perform well enough too), rii x1 wireless mini keyboard with touchpad.
Software: rpi os lite, kde plasma, plasma bigscreen, chromium web apps + extensions, kde connect.
I will try write a guide on the set up process today. From testing I think this would run on any usb storage, with a cooled and overclocked pi 4.
Is that an Aniwave app? I thought they didn't have an official app.
Chromium web app. Just go to <piracy-is-bad>dotcom/home, and there is an "install" button on the right side of the url bar. Use the home page to skip the main page that says click to enter. The bonus is that you get the benefits of web extensions like ublock and privacy badger.
Awesome. I wasnt able to find an easy install for bigscreen so I went with libreelec. Works well and has a lot of apps.
Yeah it wasnt a straightforward install. I looked at kodi but I didnt like it, havent tried libreelec. I think chromium apps and big screen works well for me
Do you have a write up on this or any links?
No links unfortunately, I will try write up a detailed guide today
No Jellyfin
I dont use it but it can run in a browser right? just save the ip as a web app
Yes, there is a webapp.
That's epic. Nicely done!
Very cool project.
I also have a Pi 4 that is just gathering dust.
Question, can you also have the main streaming apps installed? Wife has to have her Netflix shows
No but yes.. Its just running debian so no official netflix app, but you can just install netflix.com as a chromium web app - but dont forget to install the dependencies for drm content: https://lemmy.zip/post/10852737
