START HERE - Pick the Right Kodi Box (updated Dec 2020)
Hello

I've read all of the first posts, and most of the latest weeks ones... but I've still doubts on what box to buy.
My needs are:
  • LibreElec with Leia + Retroplayer support -> Need some above average graphics/cpu power
  • Full CEC support
  • 4k Youtube / 4k Netflix (HDR is a plus)
  • Possibily around the $100 mark or below

If I did my homework correctly, this leaves out Intel, as there's no CEC support without Pulse8 usb adapters and high cost
(I already own a RPi3 btw, and think CEC is too good to pass)
If I understand correctly, I should also not consider boxes without Gigabit Ethernet for high bitrate stuff.

This leaves me with very few options if I understand correctly:
  • Used Nvidia Shield TV (Can be found for ~$100 on ebay)
  • Amlogic 905/912 boxes (any one is better than the others? Reccomended chinese brands?)
  • ..other? I'm making some misconsiderations in the above reasonings? Please help me 

Many thanks for the support guys!
