    Ive never looked into it but how viable is a raspberry pi zero for this? I mean, is the hardware powerful enough and is there software available for easy TV use? Potentially paired with an android bluetooth remote.

      I don’t have personal experience trying to do that specifically but the zero is a really underpowered device that’s sluggish even updating itself. I’ve tried streaming games through a pi 4 which is way more powerful and even it struggled with the video being choppy, though it is more intensive than just streaming video by itself.

      You’d probably have good luck with a pi 4 or 5, though, and they aren’t very big either.
