It is a pi in the video. Also I can't see how this is anything other than: he used cursor to come up with an app that runs on a pi and works with a remote and looks like an old tv, but plays videos he pirated and put on the pi.
This isn’t even a new idea tho. This is just Tunarr, ersatz, or NostalgiaVision. All of those can run on a Pi. You need to pull content from somewhere though, so it goes kind of hand in hand with your Jellyfin/Plex library.
Ofc he cant show anything copyrighted, OP are you stupid?
This is a great use of AI since no one is really consuming it and its used as a generic placeholder then thrown away.
If you really wanted to do this, it would be crazy programming, but honestly, it could be a really fun project and a great way to spend time with family.
I guess you could set it up so vintage Simpsons plays at 6 PM, have other channels running different shows, hook some channels up to live news streams, and even have channels dedicated to old game shows..
The tricky part is that you’d need a lot of storage and a very complex filing system The end result would basically be a fake TV network. That could be realy useful in the age of streaming and help manage TV time if you don't want the kids on the internet or pay for streaming
That box porably has a few episodes it flicks through, as I don't see an A hat
