Hello. I couldn't find a subforum for tvOS, so I'm posting here.
I currently use Kodi on a linux system, but I'm thinking about replacing it with an Apple TV 4, so I can add other apps like HBO, Netflix, and Hulu. But I still get a lot of media from torrent files, so I don't want to lose that. How are you folks accessing media from your Apple TV? Is the Apple TV hardware powerful enough to run a torrent client? Has anybody been able to connect a USB hard drive? Or should I be looking at a NAS?
Also, is there any way to run a CUPS print server on AppleTV? I use my linux box to share my WiFi printer on AirPrint, and I really don't want to lose that feature. It seems like this should be possible now with the third-party app support, but I don't have the coding skills to do it myself.
