Hi everyone,
Please forgive me if I've posted in the wrong forum.
I'm looking into changing my current media box for a new one.
My main usage are :
- Netflix HD
- playing films / series from my Nas Synology
- 1080p/2160p
- Chromecast
- H.265
- ethernet preferred but WiFi just ok.
Currently I'm not using Kodi, but a direct access to my films through CIFS using my mede8er player.
I do not like Plex.
I think that the best solution for playing my films / tv series from my NAS would be Kodi.
So I'm looking for a box that can handle my usage.
I've selected some:
- Google Chromecast with Google TV + ethernet adaptator
- Google Chromecast ultra?
- Nvidia Shield TV 2019
- Nvidia Shield TV 2019 pro (it looks like it's better for smooth reading of H.265 but a little pricey)
- Xiaomi mi box s
It looks like the chromecast can suit my needs.
I'm a little lost now
If you have any advice
I also plan to buy a 4K Tv and I don't know if I'll have dolby vision or HDR will b
