What are the best hardware and OS combos for a media setup?
Nvidia Shield + Lineage OS? Chromesomething? Roku? AppleTV? X86 + Linux? (I’m not afraid of Linux, but remember some posts about video acceleration not working and services being web only.)
$19.99 Walmart ONN Google play box. Handles 1080p just fine via Kodi over wifi.

The firmware needs to be replaceable, so it doesn’t turn into a liability.
???? You block it in your network and don't give it any access to anything after you install Kodi. Then point Kodi to your smb share using a read only account. Why would you let any of these boxes online?
