Ok, I'm asking: what features does this (or the apple one, or the nvidia shield, or the roku stuff) give you that can't be given by a Raspberry Pi + libreelec + kodi?
- untog 6y agoThe ability to use streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, HBO, etc etc etc? Besides, a lot of these streaming sticks are cheaper that an RPi. The question is why should you use a Pi over the streaming stick, not the other way around.
- _ZeD_ 6y agodo you know that netflix, amazon prime video etc are viewable throug kodi? have a look at https://github.com/peak3d/inputstream.adaptive https://github.com/peak3d/inputstream.adaptive
- untog 6y agoBut that still doesn't answer the question of why use it. It's going to be inherently less stable than using first party apps, and the Pi is still more expensive in the first place. I just don't see a compelling case for it.
- hackmiester 6y agoPlaying DRM media, I would assume.
- _ZeD_ 6y agodrm (at least widevine) is supported in kodi
- hackmiester 6y agoI had no idea, thank you!
