Lol. What planet did you spend your life on before arriving here on earth this morning?
Kodi has existed for about 25 years and mini PCs plugged into the living room TV was popular even 40 years ago with the c64.

I’m hoping Steam Machines usher in good TV/movie streaming apps for Linux. I’d love to use a miniPC with a remote to replace AndroidTV/Roku

VLC already exists.

I think they mean they want apps with a TV like interface, and that’s not VLC.

Also VLC requires you to curate a movie collection. I’m too old to keep doing that shit.
These days I use a Debrid service to steam torrents directly to my TV at gigabit speeds, with Stremio as my frontend to give me a Netflix-like experience. You get all the convenience of a modern streaming service, without the exorbitant fees nor the hassle of managing a Jellyfin server. Just fire up the TV and pick something to watch.

Truly, VLC sucks compared to say PotPlayer.

PotPlayer looks the same as any other media player for PC and it’s only for Windows. What about it makes VLC suck by comparison? 🤨
