I am planning to buy a new HTPC for Plex server, Kodi and PlexBMC. I will also have to purchase a new TV, but I do not believe that OS Android on for e.g. Sony is perfect and I will still need some proper HTPC. The question is which one is good for me. I am keen to use 4K and I believe that makes me to incline more in Pine 64+ way.
From what I understand Pine 64+ (not sure about ODROID-C2) can not play 4K under Linux because Kodi does not support it, but under Android this should be fine. I will probably have to explore some remote capatibilities and other things, but this is a way to go.
I did not wated to have 2 NAS servers running 24/7 since I already have this one at home.
1) Does it make any sense to buy Raspberry Pi 3 when its not able to run 4K video?
2) Do you guys have any experience with Pine 64+/ODROID-C2 and 4K playback? I need to be sure that this is reliable before I will buy it.
3) If there are any other HTPC devices like these then what should I buy for 4K video?
Thanks a lot.
