Hi
I currently use a HTPC running Windows 10 and Kodi with a large local disk holding a 1000 movies. It connects into a Pioneer AV Amp etc
I am thinking of replacing it with the Nvidia Shield connecting to a remote file share on my Windows home server (for the 1000 movies) over 1 Gbit network - just a simple UNC connection.
Three questions:
  • Should this work OK and give good performance?
  • Can I remote control it via my Logitech Harmony Hub over its bluetooth connection or should I get the 500GB Pro version for its IR support?
  • Are there any other advantages to go for the Shield Pro for this typical Kodi setup?
  • Yes
  • Yes, and BT is preferred anyway.
  • No, not for Kodi, but I would suggest adding adopted storage.
Perfect - Thanks!
