Kodi + Kore on the smartphone might be a replacement? Though I mostly just stream files that I already have on my NAS, it should be more than capable of streaming straight from YouTube and others.

- JackMcMack 6y agoI've run this for a while, but Kodi seems to be focused on the "old" way of having your UI run on your TV, whereas I would like to be able to browse through my content on my phone. Yes, Kore can do this, but it feels much more like an afterthought. Prior to this I was running Windows (Vista I think) MCE with a dual channel analog cable capture card. That was truely the pinacle of home theater. Easy TV recording + easy local content. Raspberry Pi + Kodi (+ NAS) feels underpowered, and a bit dated. I haven't properly tested something like Plex. NVidia Shield seems like it would do, but now ads might be coming... Are modern smart tv's somewhat capable of local content browsing? Or is it like very basic file browsing?

It's been years since I used it, so I don't know if it's still any good, but the (paid) Yatse app was pretty good for this.
