So, a worse Kodi. 🤦
It very much depends on your use case. Kodi is great for displaying content from a personal media library, but support for most streaming services is tacked-on at best and non-existent at worst.
There's certainly a discussion to be had about whether maintaining a local media library is a "better" choice than streaming, but the fact remains that for people who want to use streaming services, this project is attempting to fill a very real hole in the FOSS ecosystem.
for streaming services, you could build an AndroidTV box, right?
Wouldn't this have the benefit of HD content? AFAIK some streaming services provide an SD stream on Linux.
