How to replicate the "smart tv experience"?
My nearest way is using my steam controller but isn't comfy to navigate Netflix or other streaming websites.
You're viewing a single thread.
On the software-side of things; Kodi is cool. As for remote control, consider referring to Kodi's Wiki-page on the matter for options.
Btw, honestly your query is way too vague. If possible, please provide us with more info so that we can better help you 😉.
I just probably need
to buy a fire sticka software with a tv-like UI, where I can use a remote to visit streaming websites in an easiest way.Thanks for enlightening us! Fortunately, the answer in my original comment should still satisfy your needs.
Kodi is what you are looking for.
Run it on Pi 4 or a NUC. We use Disney+ and Netflix on ours, although Prime video does not work (although it should, I just have not made any effort yet).
And Libreelec provides preconfigured images for the pi. You still need to jump through some hoops to get streaming services running (html5 encrypted media extensions and all that) but it streamlines the process of getting started with kodi a lot.
Another project to keep an eye on is plasma big screen. It's not quite there yet, but it will eventually provide a more familiar smarttv experience. (Currently it's missing a lot of apps, that kodi has)
