What I was thinking of is using Kodi as the base for an open smart TV platform. It already has good integration of live broadcast TV (including EPG etc) and many add-ons for streaming services. Of course, to make consumers happy, there needs to be a way to support DRM, otherwise there won't be Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. But Kodi announced last year that they're discussing about allowing DRM add-ons to talk with the application: https://kodi.tv/article/dev-journal-kodi-and-drm https://kodi.tv/article/dev-journal-kodi-and-drm

- ascagnel_ 9y agoUnless Kodi has changed substantially, even though it exposes an interface for live TV, it provides no mechanism for tuning, capturing a stream, or writing it to disc/DVR. That’s all passed off to a third-party backend like MythTV.
- xbmcuser 9y agoThe latest version of Kodi can play Netflix and Amazon using plugins they are working on drm management for official stream apps.
