Does anyone knows of a device irregardless of it being sbc/mini-computer/arm/x86… that is capable of running 4k video.
I got a TV with androidTV or (GoogleTV whatever it is called these days but i really do not like the OS and want to use a media center with Libreelec.
Currently i had a raspberry pi 3+ laying around and gave it a go, it does everything i need, can access SMB, netflix is working, youtube without ads, old NES/SNES roms etc… the only thing is that it does not play 4k videos, actually it does not even play 1080p properly which is a bummer but totally expected.
The BananaPi M5 seems to not be up to the task according to this review but i wonder if any of you have such a device as a media center and can provide feedback
Doing a bit of investigation the youyeetoo X1 seems like a good fit, specifically due to this review it might be a bit more than 100€ specially if it is the 8Gb/16Gb version but so far it seems the less expensive option, maybe i wait a couple of months in the hopes that the price drops
Do you have a setup that works properly with 4k specifically on the budget side? i would love some input on this
Edit: personal experience with the device it would be a plus
The closest I can think of is a Vero from osmc.tv but that’s breaking the 100 mark.
I’ve got the old Vero 4K model and it works like a dream in conjunction with my Jellyfin server (it’s essentially a Kodi box so you can save media on it locally too).
Thanks this is interesting, it really breaks the 100€ mark but i will be on the lookout with this one, wonder how they EU shipment would work though
I got one shipped to Denmark after brexit and IIRC they handled all the customs and everything.
Ninja edit: It looks like you’ll pay taxes and customs fees on top of it if you order directly, so it might be a good idea to hunt for a reseller: https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/european-orders/96161/2 - apparently I was lucky and happened to order when they were trialling IOSS
