 @Milhouse should I be getting a J5005 unit or would a J4005 be sufficient?

I can't in good conscience recommend buying anything from Intel right now as all recent hardware generations have potentially major problems of one kind or another (it just seems to be pot luck if you're affected or not), may not do 4K (older but more reliable generations), or won't ever do HDR (including the latest generations, even once the software side of things is fixed).

I can't recommend Nvidia either, given the uncertainty over long term Kodi support.

This leaves only AMD, either a discrete GPU or Ryzen+Vega APU, which as far as I'm aware seems to be working quite well, with few if any problems, without all the workarounds, kludges and fixes that Intel needs.

So if you're dead set on investing a significant sum of money on x86 hardware, I'd be looking at AMD.

Thanks for the advice!
