- afavour 4y ago“Buy an entirely new streaming device to use this service” is never ever a good answer. “Buy an ad-infested, Amazon tracking streaming device” also feels entirely antithetical to Jellyfin’s open source mission so there needs to be a better answer than that.
- ekianjo 4y ago> “Buy an ad-infested, Amazon tracking streaming device” You don't even need to use the amazon services. Just run the Jellyfin app and that's all you need to keep alive as a service, the rest you can blacklist. There are also ways to root those devices if you want to remove ads and more.
- vachina 4y agoYeah these sticks tend to use low powered SoC that chokes on anything higher than 1080p, not to mention missing codecs (Dolby Vision, ATMOS, DTS etc.) and lack of compliance. If you don’t care about any of those or have a TV that don’t do 4K then yeah an Android box and lower fidelity source will do.

- ekianjo 4y agoYou have the 4k version of the stick these days that's still super cheap.
