Alternative to Apple TV/Fire TV stick etc.? (feddit.org)

Does anybody know of a proper alternative to Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV sticks, Roku sticks, etc.?

At the moment, I’m still using a Fire TV Stick with my old TV, but ideally, I’d like to replace it with something European. Is there anything?

Requirements are:

Runs a Jellyfin client
Apps for typical streaming services like Disney+, which I won’t be able to get rid of yet (I have people in the house who love Disney).
Wi-Fi, ideally
remote control so that we can control it easily from the couch

However one thing you need to be aware of, is that most apps will throttle your resolution to 720p with a setup like that.

There is basically no way to get proper streaming from these apps except by buying a completely premade android device, and then never ever messing with it.

The DRM system they use for this is called Widevine.
