I did this already for audio, and now am looking to do it for video as well.

What I  want it to do is
- connect to the network with wifi
- have a web server whose interface with a laptop or a smartphone
becomes the 'remote'
- can play H264 /AAC encoded video at full frame rate up to HD
- can play webm/vorbis encoded live TV at full frame rate and possibly HD.

I am really looking for feedback on how powerful the thing needs to be
to do this - a pi zero W was well OK for just audio.

Also, how might one kill the process after a few hours so I don't wake
up at 3 a.m. to really loud adverts for mattresses that will eliminate
sleepless nights :=-)
