The problem is that YouTube app and F1 app are Android only so having a Linux media box won't help. It needs to run Android to run Android apps.
Plus I like to use Chromecast, we use it all the time to send YouTube videos from our phones to the big screen.
What's wrong with using YouTube in a browser?
Can't control it from my phone. Would need a mouse. At least I'm tech minded. My wife isn't and there is no way she would stand for using a mouse and browser on the TV.
Get a media centre remote. Works great.
And if you have an Android phone use KDE Connect. There's a Windows version now also, and you can do just about everything with it.
Ah, right, makes sense. I'm using a steam controller (or any other controller with steam, honestly) instead of a mouse, which works well enough
I don't know about apps like F1 and Chromecast, but I can see that it could be a problem. But YouTube has worked fine for me with the MPV player. Maybe you could try Android-x86? (is that thing still alive? ๐ )
