  • I would be using it to watch jellyfin mostly, but also youtube (I've seen that smartube looks good) and netflix.
  • Security and privacy are priorities.
  • My budget is up to 50 dollars.

I've seen this one onn Android TV amazon link, is it any good?

I'm new to the android tv box world so any help is appreciated.

Chromecast is my go to. Then I strip all google services remove stock launcher and add the Jellyfin apk, Kodi, And Newpipe

Make Kodi default launcher and use Kodi live TV with a IPTV M3u. However I hate the Kodi Jellyfin add on

Also usually sync my Newpipe backup from my phone once a month so tv and phone somewhat match for YouTube

Huh. Didn't know you could do that to a Chromecast! Do you do it using adb?

[–] 8565@lemmy.techtriage.guru 1 points 9 months ago

Yes you use adb

[–] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I'll have to check the box but I'm pretty sure that's what I bought. The fact that this is even an option is pretty exciting. Would I be able to include Adguard if you can push apks to it? (Would it even be worth it?)
