Need some opinions please.
For my old non smart 1080p tv i has 2017 Nvidia Shield. Was great as had everything that I needed on it, don't watch normal tv so shield was ideal for non smart tv.
Couple of weeks ago i upgraded my tv to LG C9, along with that I purchased new 2019 Nvidia Shield as thought it would be ideal for 4K media play. Well after owning C9 i have realized that tv itself has all the apps I need on it except Kodi. Now while Kodi on shield is great if only watching 1080p or non HDR media but getting it to play HDR correctly has been a nightmare. Getting it to display correct colour space, refresh rate and 10bit output is almost impossible ....... throw in Dolby Vision into that and its become a nightmare which I've given up on to be honest.
Now I would like to know what my option are. I'm ready to use TV's own aps but need device for Kodi. Done a bit of reading up and Odroid 2 looks like a good option. I've had Libreelec on s805 boxes before so I understand a bit how coreelec might work.
Have some questions though :
1. Will I be able to use LG tv remote to control N2 ? It will be plugged in Denon avr-x2500H (has arc).
2. Will it be able to play 40gb 4K 10bit HDR remux files from my NAS without problems. Ok to fast forward movies without movie freezing ?
3. Does it do auto colour space and refresh rate switching ?
4. Any other problems I might encounter with N2 that I might have missed out ?
Thank you for all your help, also is there any other option out there I should look at please let me know
