Hi,
Yes servers and clients really should be run on seperate devices for reliability, redundancy and removing the fear you are only one Firmware update away from it all going pear shaped.
An ~ USD$65 - GigaE - 2GB Ugoos X3 Cube because:
- included quality heatsink in quality hardware.
- 12nm chipset which uses less power and consequently runs cooler vs any RPi. It'a likely to last longer as a consequence.
- packages from some sellers come with a mini RF USB Dongle - Wireless G20 or G30S remote
- it's a pretty snappy setup for the price paid. Especially running CoreELEC.
See Post #1 of this thread for links.
I personally would not rely on the gamble that is HDMI CEC. If it works properly consider it a bonus.
I use an ODROID C2 as my TvHeadend server. It's sat on the home network now for years running LibreELEC/CoreELEC connected to a HDHR.
PS: I have also been playing around the the -ng (v4.9 Linux Kernel) version of CoreELEC running on a S905W the other day. Seems to work fine even for FTA TV viewing.
Have you given that a go at all ?
