Raspberry Pi Smart TV?

WolfLink@lemmy.ml to Linux@lemmy.ml – 107 points –

I want to try to set up a Raspberry Pi I have as a smart TV box and I was hoping I could find some advice.

My main requirements are:

  • can run Moonlight

  • can be controlled from a Bluetooth game controller (that should also work in Moonlight)

What would be nice:

  • can run VLC or Plex or something

  • can support AirPlay

  • can be used for some actual streaming services like Netflix

Any suggestions?

Dont. They are notoriously bad at such things. Lack of Hardware acceleration mainly. These old Chips and problems with single-board-complications are just not worth it at such high prices.
An Intel N100 MiniPC will have much more compute with less complications.
