I’ve seen a couple articles about an android tv alternative and it’s got me thinking about a streaming box again. A while back i gave kodi a try and didn’t care for the experience. Granted, it was on a pi so expectations were low but it missed the mark for me. This time around i’ve got a modest nuc with proxmox i was thinking of moving to the living room and standing up a fresh vm of kodi to stream to.

I could just access the files over the network but i’m already running both plex and jellyfin so why not use either for my watch history. All that being said is kodi still my best bet?

Why proxmox? At some point down the road i’d like to get a capture card in the mix to stream games and that feels like the most flexible way to do everything.

    I use an amazon fire tv stick. It supports more than any other streaming device, afaik. You can sideload custom apps. It’s just there to open jellyfin and ARTE for 50 bucks.

    Maybe I’ll buy the next gen shield but buying the 2019 version in 2025 is a bit dated and too expemsive tbo
