Runs on hardware you can buy anywhere
Native Android and Android TV, plus the same browser player packaged for Tizen, webOS, Raspberry Pi, Windows kiosk and ChromeOS. Store certification of SoC TVs is still a signing step — the player itself is the hosted /play app.
Android TV / Fire TV
The usual choice. Cheap, silent, and they sit behind the screen on a bracket. The APK already declares a Leanback launcher.
Samsung Tizen & LG webOS
Commercial SoC TVs load the hosted browser player as a web app. Signing and store listing remain a deployment step.
Raspberry Pi, Windows, ChromeOS
`sudo linux/install.sh` on Pi OS Lite installs Chromium, autologin and a systemd watchdog. Windows and ChromeOS kiosk scripts sit beside it. Store-signed Tizen/webOS packages remain a signing step.
