Just ordered my Vero 4K. Given the information in this thread it was an easy choice.
I was tempted to stick with my temporary rPi3 solution, but H.265 decoding of SD material has a somewhat fuzzy appearance which was never the case with my previous AML device. The AML decoder must be very good!
Also, if I stuck with the Pi I would need to get a device to strip digital audio out of the HDMI for Toslink, plus yet another Pi to replace the one I pinched from the bedroom!
Hopefully I wont need any support, but Sam seems exceptionally dedicated.

Maybe a dumb question, can I use NextPVR with the Vero 4K? I've been unsuccessful so far.
Box 1: ODroid N2+ 4GB
Box 2: Intel NUC D34010WYK (Windows afedchin's Krypton MVC Build)
Box 3: Vero 4K

Hi,
We build and include the NextPVR add-on.
What issues are you having with it?

Nevermind.
I wanted to get a debug log, so I activated debug, rebooted and NextPVR worked... Pretty sure I had rebooted before. Oh well...

Cool -- if you run in to any issues, let me know.
I've noticed this issue with TVHeadend too, but believe it's fixed in Kodi v17

How do you stream local content on this box? Specifically, multiple usb hard drive enclosures?
Is that possible using a usb hub, and would each drive be able to have its own path to be used for the media library?
Otherwise would it need to be via a NAS type solution? And since it only has wifi, would that be enough to stream 1080p and 4k content?
In the market for a new box, but the bulk of my content/usage would be local via attached harddrives.
Thanks!

The Vero 4K does have an Ethernet port.
Any drives you attach will be automatically mounted and available in Kodi.
You can use a USB hub to attach multiple drives and they all receive a dedicated mount point, i.e. path.
If you install Samba or FTP server from OSMC's App Store, then these disks are automatically shared over the network to other devices.

Oh, that's great! I missed it on the specs page on the website, sorry.
Thanks for the reply, I think this may be my next box then, if it does 4k, hdr, hd-audio, and of course, for my needs the ability to support multiple usb attached hard drives.
Appreciate your quick response.

I have just replaced a Intel Celeron NUC , 8 gb RAM and ssd running LibreElec, with a new Vero4k. Exceeded my expectations. Has run all I have thrown at it with out raising a sweat. I have not tried streeming video as all my media is on connected HDD.
Set up was easier than my NUC and less crashes.
I have tried android based media players running Kodi and have been disappointed. I recommend Vero4k.
