ahh love it how the jokers always appear near the end of threads.. spouting absolute nonsense. >:D

Kodi app does that, you need surround sound to appreciate though and most streamers are using their tv speakers.

personally I'd trust my TV to upscale 1080p to 4K more than any device, though I am going to give this upscaler a go on my jellyfin…

meh, I'd prefer my server to do the upscaling - https://github.com/Kuschel-code/JellyfinUpscalerPlugin

ok you'll need a small NAS or plug the USB into your PC and then run jellyfin on the PC so it can share the larger files to your fire stick…

the fire stick is ok if you're only connected to a tv and using the tv speakers (which the vast majority of users would be doing, I feel).…

the N100 will happily stand in for the shield or other dedicated streaming box (and you can move the gaming pc out of the room and stream…

ahh gen z knows it all.. thanks for the laughs champ.

you don't boot direct into linux/windows desktop mode.. you use a front end program that is specifically designed for a '10 foot interface'…

not if she's a gamer.

Of course you need your PC directly connected to the TV, same as if you're plugging in a shield or other android media player (btw: my old…

updating this. I chose the mini PC as it supports AV1 hardware decoding, which is a CODEC I'm seeing used more often as it shrinks video so…

@Bruceflix ahh thanks for the info. It's usually easy enough to source alternate encodes of public domain media with the full data that…

and the shield is the push bike.

DV rips should still have the HDR10 data embedded so it's a just a try different media players and hope. I have found that windows support…

I was using a USB wifi remote control (which I'd previously used with my amlogic s905 android media player for years.. (similar to the…

my personal opinion - no. But then again I use a mini pc (intel n100 based) for streaming and local gaming. It passes through Dolby Atmos…

as I posted below: the apps that were blocked were explicitly for streaming pirated video - since Kodi, Plex and Jellyfin can all be used…

yup.. so many end users have no idea what their device is doing when they install third party software.

hmm so is the grandfathered plan of $12 USD per month changing or just the recent monthly plan?

Atmos passthrough works fine as my AVR decodes it. Dobly Vision is not supported under windows or linux - if I specifically rip something…

Of course if you're using a device which doesn't have hardware decoding it'll (most likely) fall back to software decoding - that is so…

so it's his fault you live in the sticks? weird.

get an intel n100 or n150 mini pc. Much faster, runs windows or linux and whatever media apps you want. Can decode surround or pass through…

I use an Intel n100 mini PC ($180 when I bought it), handles AV1, HEVC/h265, VP1 and everything else below it. Kodi app does audio…

that will be entirely dependant on your network / wifi, not the streaming device.

the fire tv and fire tv 4k I have both support h265 native decoding under jellyfin (ie: no transcoding at all).
