That's why you should build your own media center from an old machine. Much safer and more private.
How?
/partition will do), maybe have a homemade NAS ready tooOK I've tried in the past to make a decent streaming box from both windows media center edition and various Linux distros. But I need something that is simple, can be controlled entirely from a remote, and has the major streaming apps (Netflix, disney, etc). I haven't really found any solution that's easy enough for non techie people to use. I have a standalone roku box that works ok we also have a roku TV which is a giant piece of garbage, and I'm considering buying an external roku or nvidia shield as a streaming box instead, I do have a couple of raspberry pi 4s I could use one but again I'm faced with the same issues.
