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?

But you also need a tv that's powerful enough my monitor isn't even that powerful.

What do you mean "powerful monitor". It just needs to display a picture.

At 4k and 120hz. My pc can't even do that

Then you need a more powerful PC. What do you mean a more powerful monitor? I don't even understand what that means.

Monitor resolution ,refresh rate and things like that. And gpus aren't that cheap
