Others have mentioned getting android sticks, but I'm not sure how smooth that process is (or how well they work with remotes). permalink fedilink source parent [–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago I'm looking into alternatives. So far Kodi is the front runner for my use. I have not decided on whether to replace roku units with raspberri pi running kodi or try the jailbreaking roku route. permalink fedilink source parent
