    Thanks for input.

    Several of your devices have the feature you want, but you ignore or defeat them because you want another feature as well (play next episode, etc)

    Well the projector have that feature, but I’m not happy with it because CEC is not working. I end up with half solution because sound is still playing from BT speaker. Other than that, if I want to continue watching I have to grab projectors remote to press a button (less important, but working on reducing number of remotes from 3 to 1).

    CC works fine if I dont use autoplay next episode (it still plays movie/show untill the end), but doesn’t work if Im watching TiviMate. Again half solution unfortunately.

    You could look into Google Home Automations

    Specific time like 00:30 wouldn’t work for us, but I’ve been playing with home assistant yesterday and came to hopefully a great solution. I was thinking about automation that will mute sound 90 min after CC was powered on and then if I don’t disable mute in 5 min another automation turns off device. Sounds perfect, but need to try it out. I guess Google HA can do that as well, but I already have home assistant for other things in our house.

    audio / video (AV) receivers

    We dont have any AV receiver yet, CC is connected to projector via HDMI and to speaker via bluetooth.

    If you have other tips or you think I’m missing something, I’ll be happy to hear










  • Idealy you want a server that runs all the time and some kind of a player connected to projector for streaming. You can use your rpi for server, but NUC sounds better since it probably has SATA or m.2 port for storage. Raspbian or Ubuntu doesnt matter much since both are Debian based and setup should be simmilar. Look into servarr if you are interested in automated downloads. Then get Jellyfin for Netflix like experience with your local library. Most clients support Jellyfin player and Im using android TV stick. I have just ordered ChromeCast with Google TV 4K to replacce my old 1080p Xiaomi TV stick. You can also install Netflix app on any Android device.

    It is also possible to plug your server directly to projector via hdmi, but then you have to install server apps together with client apps on the same machine. I guess you need a wifi keyboard and mouse for remote control. Having 2 devices is better IMO, but it should work as single device.

    Rpi or NUC can also be used as a player, but got no experience in setting that up and Android box is better solution for me anyway
