KDE Plasma Bigscreen (Android TV alternative) is back from dead

a year ago by Ugurcan to c/selfhosted

Another KDE project, Plasma Bigscreen, is back from the dead with a much better UI spread across the entire shell.

Not exactly self-hosted but I know many jellyfinners here would cherish this as well.

Looks promising. Does remote controllers work with it?

HDMI-CEC seems to be currently unsupported. So you won't be able to use your TV's remote yet.

The article actually stated that the featured is untested.

Controller support exists, but getting TV remotes to work over HDMI CEC is still untested.

now, that sounds more interesting than just "unsupported"!

Being Linux, if you were really motivated, you could probably write a shim service that converted CEC to basic input that it does support, or someone out there probably already has.
