START HERE - Pick the Right Kodi Box (updated Dec 2020)
I have read the Pascal Zotac mini GeForce GTX 1050 SC will do both HEVC encoding and decoding and that it's size and power requirements make it ideal for a htpc. Further reading suggests it will fit most big box pcs like Dell HP etc. I see a lot of refurbished, small footprint Dells, HPs etc. at low prices, would adding the GTX 1050 SC ( 2 gb) and linux/libreElec to one of these refurbs make a pretty good Kodi player? Also, if the GTX 1050 SC does hardware encoding, could you set up ffmpeg to encode some videos recorded using TVheadend and get reasonable performance if the jobs were scheduled during times when the player is idle?
