I have to say that if you’re planning on running Kodi, it can really be a dog on underpowered devices. I like the recommendations that the guy who runs mediaclients.wiki has on the homepage. The Apple TV is probably the fastest set-top box you can get to run Kodi but you have to sign it yourself or pay a signing service. In second place comes the newest fire tv cube which runs Kodi even better than (my third place) Shield TV.
Also, if you want to have your mind blown look into plex media server “shares”. I love Kodi but it’s just no contest vs the polished commercial app, and it even does the recommending thing you miss from iptv land
- dmix 4y agooh wow I just checked out the Plex shares thing. That’s really cool. Man we’re living in the golden era of piracy. People who are used to old torrenting on PCs or just Netflix are really missing out. I got what I thought was a pretty powerful Android box but it is kinda slow when loading in-line EPG TV guides for the channels. I’ll look into some of the more powerful ones… What about Jellyfin or Emby?
- kondor6c 4y agoThere are Jellyfin shares and Emby shares too, there should be a relevant subreddit that lists them periodically
- wingworks 4y agoI've tried both Jellyfin and Emby (as well as kodi), they're all 2nd rate compared to Plex. Plex is just such a polished experience with very few bugs compared to the other offerings. Having said that, if you need something that's not built into Plex, there is little you can do to add it, that's where kodi etc shines, they have some massive catalogs of third party add ons.
