If you want to overcomplicate things once, but then simplify everything after (within reason), take a look at netboot.xyz

Set up PXE on your network and never need to mess about imaging a stick again. Here’s a video thatll get you rolling. https://youtu.be/4btW5x_clpg

Here is the project on github https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz

Is that a teabag on the floor?

Presumably it makes use of API access.

I may be slight off here, but for anything other than viewing currently playing, and maybe a few other things, you need premium to choose a track, and control the player.

I did this with proxmox. However I’m using a Nvidia gpu for passthrough. Was awhile ago I set it all up. I remember it being fairly complex. Here is a super basic instruction for it. Possibly incomplete.

Check you have iommu enabled in efi/bios. (For Intel - enable vt-d)

Install drivers if necessary (again nvidia)

Blacklist device on proxmox host

Setup GPU passthrough (vfio) - assign the card video and audio to the guest vm.

Start vm and test

If you are using onboard card, you can probably blacklist it and use it for your vm… I’m not entirely sure how proxmox deals with losing its primary display… I expect it’ll cope ok. SSH for everything. Probably need to use virtio drivers. Install within guest…

Really… prob best hosting a media server and having a client on the TV end.
