I tried using the pi 2B again, I’ve been using the GUI & browser to show jellyfin and the interface is so sluggish I think it would be hard to use regardless of the ability to play videos

If they’re so outdated maybe they’re due for a change? The main thing that is needed is motivation

Sure but most probably don’t need sophisticated services, and there are alternatives

Ok interesting it looks like it does do 1080p H264 hardware decoding https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/pdfs/raspberrypi2modelb.pdf

Pretty sure I tested mine on video playback and it struggled (quite badly), but I didn’t check the playback format, maybe if you stick to the right codec then it works.

Do you know what number model it is? I tried using an old 2B but it was too slow and doesn’t have hardware decoding as far as I can tell. I’ve heard you need around 4B for media playback, but the price is not so great for a simple use like this. Stick PCs seemed to have some cheaper options, including hardware decoding, with the advantage of plugging straight into the HDMI port

Ok, I’ve been checking out some older ones for half the price (possibly used as well), the main requirement I’ve been checking is just hardware decoding, with a light weight Linux setup I think it should be sufficient.

The remote is worth considering, I might look into Bluetooth or RF based approaches as they are a bit more flexible than IR with positioning. Or even phone app based methods are possible

Thanks for the suggestions anyway ;)

I don’t get the complaining, sure some of the comics are only mildly amusing, but on the internet if something is not sufficiently amusing you can just go to the next thing, I don’t get the whining

Compromise? In memory of the 1,000,000,000 victims of communism with capitalist characteristics?

Meh, it’s just another planted story in the media for a distraction & to create a fake image, and y’all are eating it up. The guy wears a diaper, stinks so bad to make people retch and is a pedophile

More accurate title: Waverley library bans book critical of Israeli war crimes after pressure from Zionist lobby group.

Hopefully the Streisand effect has a bigger impact here than their (attempted) ban. The ban itself may infact be illegal, as mentioned later in the article
