I use plex media server on my pc and currently use the samsung app on my smart tv which I got in 2016. There are 2 things I want to be able to do that I currently can't: Watch ad-free youtube videos on my tv and play local mp4 and mkv files on my PC with increased playback speed. I can't do this with plex. I have an ethernet connection from my router to my TV but my TV is too far from my PC to run an HDMI cable.
I found that with the newpipe app on my phone there is an option to cast to Kodi, which is what brought me here. From what I read you can also adjust playback speed with kodi (is this correct?). I see there are many devices that can run Kodi. I was looking closely at firestick but I really hate amazon and want to avoid it. Now Im looking at the nvidia shield but I'm wondering if there would maybe be a better and possibly cheaper solution.
