Everyone needs to go watch the movie 'Barfly' right now. Its about Charles Bukowski and it's awesome

I'm really going to miss Self-Hosted, it brought a community of us weirdos together. I hope someone fills the vacuum left after ep. 150

They've critiqued themselves on this. None of us are completely pure. At least they have an active matrix channel

I have two TV boxes, one is a Raspberry pi 4, the other is a pi 5. I installed KonstaKANG's android port for the Pi's. Depending on your familiarity with flashing the Pi's this video from Explaining Computers offers a way to get Konsta installed through PINN. Once they're up and running they act just like a cellphone. This remote works really well.

Install f-droid, and/or obtainium, and/or Aurora Store and you can install whatever apps you want on the box.

I don't personally use Chromecast, so I can't vouch for that working. Mine is more centered around consuming Jellyfin (jellyfin android tv app), youtube (newpipe), podverse, and Radiodroid

I really liked Kodi, but could never get it to correctly sync across devices so I finally went the android route. I've been pretty happy

Feel free to pick my brain if you have more questions

I dont think I so much want this for my phone as for my homemade AndroidTV boxes. Losing the Linux functionality after switching from Kodi/libreelec had been my biggest pain point.

Can't wait to see my TV boxes show up in my Beszel dashboard!
