    Is there a FOSS option to turn something like a pi zero into streaming device? My assumption is a flavor of Android is required?

    Edit: referring to streaming services such as Netflix. I’m aware of that home plex and jellyfin servers exist

      I’ve been looking for a couple of days. It looks like Kodi is probably the way to go.

      You can use any of a number of remote controls, or even a modern cell phone.

      Unless your media server is up to the full task of transcoding it needs to have a little bit of horsepower to do transcoding on the client.
