I'm looking for +/- 100$ box (lowest possible size and power consumption) to display my NAS stored media (up to 1080p so far, 4k later)
I have no need for a disk reader (cd/dvd/bray...), for local storage (hdd) nor for WiFi (especially since most ofthe time it s too slow for heavy files) if it can lower the price
I do not care about remote as I use my handheld devices with Yatse
I have been using a RpiB (with overclocked openelec) for some time now, pretty OK despite the need for lightweight skin and some videos partially/not working, mainly h265 and animated
Rsp2 will perform better with skins but it won't play heavy h265, 4K or animated as it can only do software decoding
I have been looking at this Intel NUC and at the Xtreamer Wonder
I haven't been able to find a comparison between Intel HD 5500 and Mali 450
About the Xtreamer, I fear that Android might make me lose a lot of power, maybe flash it with openelec...
Any opinion, if any of those is good ? Recommend something else ?
I am in France, where Amazon does not sell Amazon Fire TV, I would have to go through an intermediary
