  • Didn’t you answer your own question? You need a windows vm, so install windows in a vm and connect your TV to it.

    You might need to do a gpu passthrough for the hdmi cable to reach the windows vm video out.

    Also, fair warning, controlling Netflix in a browser is probably impossible with your TV remote, so you’d need a mouse and keyboard. An android/google-TV box like the nvidia shield is much more user friendly in that regard.




  • Since you basically only run Jellyfin, I would just convert a desktop into a server.

    Choose one with a power efficient CPU. And depending if you need a lot of transcoding an external GPU or even integrated GPU.

    Mine is idling most of the time with only the bare minimum of fan speed. If it wasn’t for the spinning disks it would be completly inaudible.

    To top it off it’s only 30W idle. If you split the utility bill with your housemate I’m sure they’ll appreciate that.
