I want to try to set up a Raspberry Pi I have as a smart TV box and I was hoping I could find some advice.

My main requirements are:

  • can run Moonlight
  • can be controlled from a Bluetooth game controller (that should also work in Moonlight)

What would be nice:

  • can run VLC or Plex or something
  • can support AirPlay
  • can be used for some actual streaming services like Netflix

Any suggestions?

    Which version of raspberry pi?

    Assuming it’s a 4, you could probably use LibreELEC. There is a plugin for moonlight game streaming.

    Kodi, a very popular and highly extensible Media Center which acts as the GUI of LibreELEC, can play just about any media. Airplay seems to be supported as well.

    There is a plugin for Netflix, however note that you will be limited to 720p since you can’t use widevine levels above l3.
