I'm looking for some suitable hardware to run Kodi on as a media player connected to a CRT TV. Main purpose would be watching german DVB-T2 which is H.265-encoded. I tried a Raspberry Pi 3 but it seems like it's not up to the decoding task. So I need something that provides both H.265 hardware decoding and a composite out. I'd very much prefer Linux over Android as an OS as I'm far more at home there.
Initial research let me consider the Orange Pi line but I've since learned that their Allwinner chips are not well supported in Kodi.So, any suggestions? The new Libre computer board seems like it meets the specs, but it's very new and I don't know how well supported it is. I'd be grateful for any advice on this!
Thanks in advance!
