The first ESP32 application we presented to you was the world's tiniest Macintosh Plus emulator. Since then we have shown many amazing things that can be done with an ESP32.

ESPFLIX

Its applications are only limited by your imagination. When you have plenty of that, and some programming skills and a bit of knowledge of popular technologies, and maybe some spare time, you can come up with things like ESPflix. This is an ESP32-based open-source set-top box that can connect to online video streaming services.

Okay, so ESPflix does not feature full-HD quality, and its VOD offer is limited to public domain content, yet it does allow streaming of audio and video directly to a TV by adding only three (!) components (two of which passive, the third an IR receiver IC) to an ESP32 module.

The system is controlled by an AppleTV remote control or similar.

Play 8-bit Games Instead

If you don’t like watching public domain television shows, then you can use the exact same circuit to play Atari, NES and SMS games on your TV.
