RPi client for tv
My jellyfin server is all set up and ready to go.l, but I want to replace my Kodi box, it is just painful.
Is there a nice way to setup a rPi to run as a client, that just turns on and looks like a media centre? Ie, it loads up and is ready to go at power on?

You could almost just script the launch of the flatpak at boot. It'll be rough around the edges but probably fine depending on your peripherals
I would just script the web version. You just need to set Firefox to run at startup full screen.
No HEVC support IME, needs flatpak
What?
HEVC hardware decoding doesn't seem to be supported in normal browsers. It works in the flatpak though
Isn't the flatpak just the browser version put into an app? Maybe its just a matter of configuring Firefox.

Pretty widely unsupported, doesn't work in chrome either. Flatpak must be doing something sneaky
