I've gotten frustrated enough with my Apple TV that once my gen of hardware is no longer supported I'll replace it with a Raspberry Pi. I don't need fancy apps, just a browser for Jellyfin and (sometimes) YouTube. Any other incidental streaming service usage can also be done through a browser anyway.
- dwedge 6d agoI tried doing this and the video stutter on a raspberry pi made it too annoying. Probably better off using an N100
- herpdyderp 6d agoThat's too bad! Which Pi version and RAM configuration did you try?
- Rohansi 6d ago> Probably better off using an N100 Exactly this. Search for a mini PC and it'll have a cheap Intel SoC in it that performs way better than a Raspberry Pi 5 but cheaper (comes with everything for ~$300), and even consumes a similar amount of power.
