I have a MiTV box with Android that runs apps for Jellyfin, Prime Video and Disney Plus. I would like to replace it with a mini PC, like some N100 box, to have more control over what runs on it. I tried a Pi with Kodi once, but I hate the UI so much. It's just not my thing.
What other options do I have with self-hosted alternatives? I want a central UI like AndroidTV offers, I need Jellyfin, Disney Plus, Prime Video and some local TV station's streaming offerings and some remote control.
I don't think that's possible, as you can only run Disney and Prime in a browser or their apps. And using a browser on the TV is not nice UX. But maybe some of the great people here have cracked that nut and can help me.
I know it's not the most popular answer but: AppleTV.
I used to try out everything from self made Raspi Kodi box to no name Android stick to FireTV. With the AppleTV there's finally all quiet on the TV front. It's so easy to use and you get just about every app out there. The remote is great. And for me the UI is among the best for TV there is because it is so calm (with FireTV being the absolut worst).
