Turning Raspberry Pi into Jellyfin Media Player Box? (lemmy.ml)

Can anybody lead me down the right path on this...?

I run a jellyfin server and I'd like to utilize a raspberry pi as the equivalent of a roku box / fire stick but for my jellyfin server.

I'm setting this up for a friend as a gift. He isn't very tech savvy so I wanted to make it user-friendly. I'm looking into buying a usb remote control as well.

I love the jellyin UI so it would be cool to stick with that.

What are my options? It would be ideal if the pi boots up right into the browser/player app and can be accessed/controlled via the remote like roku or similar.

take one of the mediaplayer distos (LibreELEC, ...). they are easy to set up and quite robust. there are jellyfin plugins for kodi. but you probably won't have exactly the same ui with kodi.
