• Are there any decent android tv boxes that can power a 2tb hard drive and can install core elec to rom?

  It's a lite version of kodi like libreelec https://coreelec.org/ It does have a list of chipsets it's compatible with but wondered if anyone on here was using it with an android box without any issues. Source: 11 months ago

• How many widgets are you running with Arctic Horizon 2?

  Coreelec on the Beelink GT King 2 and Khadas VIM4 was about 40s but still acceptable. Source: about 1 year ago

• 4K Remux and dolby atmos and DTS X - which media player to install?

  TV's won't output multichannel lossless audio, only compressed audio codecs or stereo PCM. You need an external device for multichannel lossless audio. The Shield TV, tube or pro, is the only Android TV device that will output multichannel lossless audio. The Fire TV Cube 3rd Gen or a custom CoreELEC box are other options that will also do this. The CoreELEC box is the cheapest solution but requires some... Source: over 1 year ago

• Hey guys I have a old android box (x96 mini) that I’d maybe like to try and set up hopefully to play some n64 games, is there a good tutorial or some website out there to help do that or does anyone here have any information?

  You can find more info on the CoreELEC site. Typically all you do on these is flash an image to a MicroSD card, copy an appropriate dtb for CPU/RAM config and place it renamed on the root of the MicroSD, pop it in, and hold the reset button (which can be hidden, such as in the back of the 3.5mm AV port so have a paperclip handy) and keep it held while you plug in the box and it should boot.

• I have this old android tv box, there is a way to delete everything and put in it OSMC? The main reason is that I cannot update Android and the remote integration is good for kodi but not for the other features that it offers.

  Put CoreELEC on it. You can find it here: https://coreelec.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Old cMP 5,1 - Help me decide what to do with it?

  I was using https://serviio.org/ for streaming until it broke, never got around to fixing it (around 2017~). No idea if there's better options. Source: almost 2 years ago

• M3U

  I setup the Serviio server on my computer. I put in links to m3u8 channels I want to watch and broadcast them to my Roku TV. Source: about 2 years ago

• Non-Internet way of watching movies from an External Hard drive?

  I use Serviio, https://serviio.org/, which I personally have found much easier to use than Plex. Streaming to BluRay players can be hit and miss (worked fine on my Sony, Samsung sucks) but it works fine with Roku (just need to install Roku Media Player from the app store).

• Can Hypnotix m3u8 links be extracted

  I don't have an HDMI cable long enough to go from the computer to the TV. I plug the links into Serviio and use the Roku Media Player on my TV to display the media browser from the server, so I can pick which IPTV channel I want to watch. As a bonus, I can stream local media, usually used for PLEX, on Serviio as well. But I can't plug entire lists in Serviio, and wouldn't want to anyway. Too many junk links. It's...

• Smart Audio for the Smart Home

  Im my experience Serviio was the only thing that made DNLA even half work and even with that it was flakey. https://serviio.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
