What's the current recommendation for a minimum viable HTPC? RPI?
- joombaga 4y agoIf you're okay w/ Android, the Chromecast w/ Google TV is great. You can put it in "App Only" mode and sideload any apk.
- metadat 4y agoI have one of the GoogleTV dongles. It was great for the first 6 months in 2021. Nowadays it's laggy and user-hostile, constantly pushing paid streaming options. The input lag and app startup lag began after forced system updates. I cannot recommend such a piece of trash device. Thinking of getting an AppleTV instead, haven't gotten around to it yet.
- squarefoot 4y agoI've swapped my RPi 4 with a "liberated" (0) used Chromebox with Kodi (1) installed and I couldn't be happier; the performance gain compared to the RPi is huge while power consumption isn't much higher.
