    any solution that’d work on a Linux machine would probably be okay.

    I don’t think there is a Linux solution. That’s the problem.

      What do you mean? I gave you a couple of Kodi plugins that cover most of what you mentioned, plus, you could probably just use a Web browser.

        That’s not really a “solution” so much as a “workaround”. It’s unofficial community-maintained software with complicated installation, limited features, and that the service providers can break at any time. And even if that weren’t the case, that’s only 2 providers.

        If I need to use a web browser, why wouldn’t I just skip Kodi altogether and just plug in my laptop?

        There’s a reason Google TV is an entirely different operating system from Chrome OS.
