Yeah, I just use the web interface, so I end up having a cheap PC with a keyboard/remote which works pretty well, then it doesn’t matter the TV and get’s away from Google altogether.

For me it’s kind of JellyFin + TailScale, but that probably isn’t going to work with less tech savvy family members or on all devices. Plex works well enough, but then again it’s the same thing that someone has to be responsible for the ‘media’ portion, and a lot of people enjoy live sports, which seems difficult through the open source things.

I was that dumb kid who got my first gmail invite from a friend and never thought to use my first name/last name because it was during the time that we all were supposed to be ‘anonymous’ as everyone on the internet was a murderer.
