Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service.

Thank you!! I didn't even consider RPi, and I'll look into LineageOS TV

Youre welcome! Another thing to consider is if you have any old desktops or (soft moddable) consoles kicking around. I have found that the Nintendo Switch makes a wonderful portable Android TV after getting homebrew on it. An old laptop or desktop could be used similarly :p
