Before I buy another Roku, are there any options for a streaming box/stick that run FOSS? A foss derivitive of android TV would be nice if that exists, ideally preloaded on an inexpensive and compact piece of hardware.

That was one of my gripes with Plex as I watch a lot of international content. Or just can't hear over the sound of my kids 🤣

Moved to jellyfin backend, with Kodi frontends + official jellyfin addon, all via network shares.

So the Kodi frontends(TVs) directly read the files over NFS/SMB and I don't have to worry about encoding or have to worry about subtitles. Honestly it's the best player I've found (imho of course)

And any other device gets the encoded stream from jellyfin (mobiles/non local devices).
