Hey, I have been running Kodi on a Linux HTPC with passive cooling for more than 10 years now. Lately it needs around 10 minutes to fully boot up, so I guess it's about time to replace it. 1080p Series can't be played back stutter free, Movies can, and I really don't want to waste my days figuring out how to get everything running smoothly on this ancient box. These Android TV alternatives look very promising to me, given that you can watch Netflix and stuff on it, but I've got services like Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd and others running besides Kodi, which I think wouldn't run on an Android TV device, right? Do you think that an ODROID N2+ box would fit my needs, maybe even for another extended period of time, or should I rather opt to build another "real" HTPC? Or maybe an Intel NUC (if thats any better)?
For 4K Netflix you need to have a Netflix-approved box, not just one that has the right Widevine level. Netflix have a separate approval programme still I believe for their premium streams.
So an N2 would not work with Netflix. You could buy a cheapo Android box, install CE to sd card & boot from android when you want it. But the cheapo boxes are not able to deliver 4K netflix. There is a netflix addon for kodi/CE but when I last tried it, the audio was way off.
You could buy a nas (expensive) & run sonarr etc on that, & buy a shield (not cheap) or amazon fire stick.
