OK I’ll take a look at it, interesting.

What TV do you have? What are you running Kodi on?
What TV remote?
Wine is pretty good for most things I’ve tried, except new Office (will run the old versions OK). Try O365, if Libre Office won’t cut it. You can try the installer in Wine without hurting anything. For your other stuff,I keep a Windows 8 vm around off network to run some ancient radio programming software, so maybe that is an option.
And it is not scary. A simple distro like Mint, figure out where the software repositories live, how to use thr off8xe suite, and you’re done. Life is "great*.
Pretty much this. Imagine some untutored user given the jellyfin client. They can figure it out pretty quickly as it is much like Netflix. Compare that to a Kofi on a Pi, first you have a keyboard/mouse. OK, then arrow keys and spacebar get you a ways in - now how do I stop the video? Panic till you find out it’s the X key.
It is the simplicity vs functionality debate. Kodi is amazingly configurable but it is not accessible for your normal household user without a ton of work. Jellyfin(as an example) just runs on the Roku they are already using.
Eventually I’m getting off my old Roku 3 permanently for Kodi, so I’m just saying I wish Kodi had a dummy mode.
The learning curve for Kodi is pretty steep. Most folks aren’t going to bother.
How did Customs let it through? It has to have DOT spec stuff in the US. I don’t know about more than 25 years old.
Where are you finding things like this? What’s parts availability like?
OK I had no idea this existed so thanks! I’m one of today’s lucky 10000 I guess. I have an old Panasonic with Viera and had no idea it did this. Not working perfectly yet but not far off.
