So, what's to be done? I want a fully open source set top box application that will run on commodity hardware including SBCs like the radxa rock 2F (which, when it was cheap and in stock, was the ideal platform for this project, with onboard emmc, 2usb ports, wifi, Bluetooth, and a pricetag under thirty bucks.) I want that application to support browsing multiple peertube servers (with a preconfigured list of good hosts and the ability to add your own), local media server discovery, support for persistent and ephemeral local storage, first-class support for podcasts and a decent video/audio podcast search interface (a youtube channel is not a podcast) and a "channel flipping" style interface for configured iptv streams. I know many people would also like for it to work with youtube/vimeo/etc. I consider that a secondary goal, as I consider youtube a threat (but I still post there, so whatever) I want it to work such that, if you have a local media server, you can use it and if you do not have a local media server, it is still viable as a video watching device.
