I have a dumb TV, and a spare computer. I want a nice easy way to interface with several services. (Jellyfin, disney+ etc)

I know of Kodi, but really dislike the interface. I know I could get a USB keyboard/mouse remote thing, but that isn’t very elegent. Is there a simpler solution to this?

I would recommend trying different skins for Kodi, was a game changer for me.

Yeah I was thinking this. How can anyone hate an interface that they can entirely configured themselves.

Okay I may have to look into kodi again. Any recommended skins to make browsing things like Disney+ easier?
