Was looking for something a bit more elegant...An old laptop is going to look like shit
We have a fairly minimalistic setup around the TV, there's nowhere to hide it which is why we originally went with an appleTV because it looks pretty decent.
Do you know of a solution won't boots directly to jellyfin and can ONLY be used with that?
Yeah I really prefer as close to plug-and-play as possible, I don't want to spend hours tinkering to get something that basic working.
I'll take a look and see if it's low effort enough.
You can also just install the libreelec os (Kodi), and install the Jellyfin Kodi addon. Haven't tried that addon. I used to use Kodi when I had only one TV, and liked it. Now that I have 2 Android TVs, just installing Jellyfin on the TVs works fine. I might go back to rPIs and disconnect my TVs from the internet though.
