Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Is it any good?
I've done that and as long as you don't need one of the mainstream streaming apps, it seemed to work well . Just give it a try. It's not a lot of work.
Edit: As far as I remember it, it didn't have (the needed?) DRM support
Edit2: Tested on RPi5
A laptop running linux mint.
My alternative is OSMC running on a RPI 3
It isn't going to win any awards but it does work nicely with a Bluetooth remote
