I run a jellyfin server and I’d like to utilize a raspberry pi as the equivalent of a roku box / fire stick but for my jellyfin server.
I’m setting this up for a friend as a gift. He isn’t very tech savvy so I wanted to make it user-friendly. I’m looking into buying a usb remote control as well.
I love the jellyin UI so it would be cool to stick with that.
What are my options? It would be ideal if the pi boots up right into the browser/player app and can be accessed/controlled via the remote like roku or similar.
LibreElec is lighter, so I’d generally agree with GPT4 on this one. It can be slightly more involved to set up, but there’s good documentation for the Pi in particular, so it’s not like it’s hard to pull off.

These both run Kodi which can run Jellyfin
Which one of those do you suggest over the other? GPT4 suggests LibreElec might run better on lower spec hardware like the Pi.
