Thanks for the replies. I should have asked sooner instead of wasting 5 hours trying to get it to work.
I currently run OpenElec on a 2012 Mac Mini with my media stored on a Synology server and I am very reluctant to change because it has been so reliable and performs awesome! I hope you all don't mind answering a few newbie questions.
Are there any downsides with using one of these android boxes? Do all the Kodi plugins still work? Is the GUI just as fast as a HTPC?
If there are some downsides, is it possible to continue to run my current setup/hardware, browse through my 3D movies, but when I play a 3D movie, have it send command to external player like an Android box or Mede8er to play that movie and switch inputs on my A/V receiver?
What is difference between using the recommended Zidoo X9s vs Zappiti HDR player?
