    It was my favorite UI between firestick, android tv, and roku. I’m seriously bummed out by what they’ve been doing.

    Last time I asked it seemed like open source streaming box OS’s aren’t a thing.

            Yep, looked more into it. Honestly it sounds great. A dedicated box AND remote with kodi and an integrated app store? I’m intrigued. Will give this os a go soon.

        Stupid question, but am I right in thinking that osmc won’t support streaming services like Netflix/Hulu/Max?

          It’s open source, so you’re right, it won’t. I use mine as a jellyfin box.

            I haven’t followed this guide so can’t comment on how up to date it all is, but looks like there are addons to stream Disney, Netflix, and Prime at least: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/netflix-amazon-video-plex-raspberry-pi/

      I thought it was nifty with a sharp UI. I provided feedback on multiple occasions not to degrade their own platform, which I’m sure were read by nobody. But still, it’s a shame.
