I currently have LibreELEC on a RPiZw that works just fine with the
remote of my LG dumb TV, no configuration required.  It takes its power
from the TV's USB port.
But I upload content from a PC, or stick it on a thumb drive.  We still
have a "proper" DVD player by the TV.  I wonder if the Pi could pull
content off a remote DVD drive on the LAN.
