I appreciate all the discussion around alternatives, but can we keep a clear distinction between broken functionality, and pros and cons of alternate audio and video configurations?
For me, I also run Roku boxes for Netflix, Amazon, and Plex, but I do not get native video and I do not get native audio, that is why I use (used) my NUC boxes to watch immersive movies (from my own collection of raw BD rips), not Plex on Roku. And my AVR is tuned for room acoustics, and in my opinion does a better job of mapping input channels to actual speaker setup than Kodi does, psychological maybe, but my preference. If my only working LE options with my NUC are going to get the same behavior as Plex on Roku, then why would I bother with Kodi and LE at all?
