Turning Raspberry Pi into Jellyfin Media Player Box? (lemmy.ml)

Can anybody lead me down the right path on this...?

I run a jellyfin server and I'd like to utilize a raspberry pi as the equivalent of a roku box / fire stick but for my jellyfin server.

I'm setting this up for a friend as a gift. He isn't very tech savvy so I wanted to make it user-friendly. I'm looking into buying a usb remote control as well.

I love the jellyin UI so it would be cool to stick with that.

What are my options? It would be ideal if the pi boots up right into the browser/player app and can be accessed/controlled via the remote like roku or similar.

Make sure you transfer the OS off the memory card though, they eventually corrupt if you run the OS off them.

I've been running my 3B's OS off the card since 2018, lol.

I gotta keep it plugged into a UPS because if it loses power it kills it and I have to reinstall which is a PITA, but I've never had any trouble otherwise (knock wood). It's been a Plex server now for like two years.
