I am really impressed by the Chromecast with Google TV as a Kodi device. Yes, there is no resolution switching but the streaming itself feels really robust, even with just Wifi. I tried to increase the Kodi buffer quite a bit and it seems to even offload it's own UI to make more room. You notice this when you back out of Kodi after streaming something and it takes a few seconds to load the UI, just like when you restart the device. Fire TV 4k Stick and Cubes had issues here and there for me, not so the CCwGTV. I have a 120 Hz TV with 5:5 pulldown so the refresh rate thing isn't an issue for me personally.
