I’ve been travelling a lot lately and am looking for a good way to turn a hotel’s TV into a jellyfin client without needing a super long wire from a laptop or something, just plug it into the tv and you’re good. LineageOS has some stuff but it seems like everything needs a specific device made at a specific time and specific patch number for some hacky implementation, is there anything that is a good package deal, wont blow the bank, doesn’t need much tinkering and will always work? I hate KODI btw, the interface is terrible. Something android related seems ideal. The point is to be as easy and lazy as possible, I get off the flight tired as hell and I want to just slam it into the TV and die a little without fiddling with anything and not get tangled on wires
edit: so far from my own research I think the only reasonable option is to get something like the xiaomi mi tv stick and then run android debloater ng on it


I think the easiest, cheapest and laziest would be the Walmart Onn TV box, or stick. The stick is like $20, the box is $25. Boot it up, download “Send files to TV”, and then you can send the apks to the TV to replace the bloatware without using a PC or ADB. The first thing you should send to TV is “FLauncher”, this will give you an Ad-Free home screen. Then you could probably send FDroid and download jellyfin from there.
Other app recommendations: VLC - can help play some jellyfin videos Keymapper - changes the remote’s buttons to launch any other app you want. Smarttube - TV focused Ad-Free YouTube client
