It’s my birthday, and I want the upscaling, the single platform, the flexibility (sailing the high seas), but it’s soooo old. $200? IDK

    Honestly, for running jellyfin/emby/plex, there’s nothing better. The only thing an update might get you would be higher refresh rates or maybe 8k support, but for watching video, who cares?

    Once I disabled the built-in “leanback” launcher with its fucking toxic ads and replaced it with flauncher, it’s been essentially perfect for watching media. flauncher is fugly as hell but it stays out of my face, unlike google’s ad-focused launcher.

        I honestly haven’t found much being encoded with AV1, there being almost no GPUs that can transcode it probably doesn’t help.

      HLG, AV1, QMS, VP9 Profile 2 (YouTube HDR) and faster menus would make me want to upgrade from my 2017 Shield as that’d improve watching videos.

      I’m currently running Kodi on my Xbox with Jellycon to stream from a Jellyfin server.

      I’d be genuinely curious how this is better.
