I want to try to set up a Raspberry Pi I have as a smart TV box and I was hoping I could find some advice.

My main requirements are:

  • can run Moonlight
  • can be controlled from a Bluetooth game controller (that should also work in Moonlight)

What would be nice:

  • can run VLC or Plex or something
  • can support AirPlay
  • can be used for some actual streaming services like Netflix

Any suggestions?

    You would most lilely be looking at a Kodi setup.

    Look up LibreElec, super simple all in one image, kodi has a ton of plugins for everything you’d need. You’ll probably need to add some extra repos to get everything you want, but it’s all pretty easy to figure out with searches

      Kodi is awesome, but it’s not a solution for Netflix or Plex. I know there are plugins for them, but they’re terrible. Kodi is best when it’s playing local media and op wants Netflix and other streaming services working, too.
