I am looking for something that's relatively cheap and minimal <50€
The Walmart "onn." has been perfect in my household. Dirt cheap at $20, degooglable, good remote (you can use an app to rebind the streaming service buttons to apps you actually use). Supports the Google cast protocol and also SmartTubeNext. No ads of any kind on the home screen, because I'm using a custom FOSS launcher.
They aren't sold where I live :(
Does it only use the cast protocol, or can you use the actual jellyfin app? Which launcher do you use?
I use FLauncher, and the jellyfin for android TV app works great. You can cast with or without having the app installed but the remote is nice so I rarely use the casting feature for watching my locally hosted stuff. It's just convenient for content on twitch or youtube.
Doesn't Google make a 1080p Chromecast?
Yes, it's decent. Used one for almost 3 years, recently upgraded to shield pro and love it. You don't realize how slow the Chromecast is until it's compared to the shield pro.
