Well, obviously I'm not familiar with your particular application. I let kubernetes figure out where to run the media server, but I'm not sure I'd be running a cluster on a 100W solar panel. (Not that you can't run k3s on a Pi.) > And anyway, I'm not trying to turn a tv with a proprietary OS into a > media server.

Which is standard behaviour pretty much encouraged by all smart t= vs! You can of course do things however you want, and if you're really reduced to the bare minimum of computing more power to you getting it to work. I'm just saying that in general it is going to be way easier to get a TV to connect to a media server, than to turn it into one without a lot of limitations. -- Rich
