I have a raspberry Pi 4B that is connected to a CRT TV via Composite and controlled with a PS4 controller. I’d like to use the Pi for Netflix, Plex client, and playing DVDs from an ext drive. What distro would be best for this?

I tossed Retro Pi onto it and the controls work great but I can’t figure out how to install the media apps.

    I tried libreelec over the weekend but Plex and Netflix both failed to launch. I Googled the error and people advised to manually downgrade the add on versions, and it looked like a troublesome process. Maybe I was doing something wrong?

      Its absolutely possible I fear. Instead of plex I use composite which does work well imo but some apps work badly and the feedback/update cycle seems very dysfunctional. That part imo is even worse than mobile linux since it is even more niche and fractured.
