Im using a RPi3 as my HTPC (might explain a lot of the problems I had) but I simply cant afford to get a proper Media Center PC or NUC.

All I need is to stream media from my network storage drive, an online radio app, youtube app, and reddit viewer app.

Thats all. Anything more is an extra.

Anyone with good experience installing any of the other media centers other than kodi on a RPi3 Thank you 38 comments share save hide report 69 Upvoted This thread is archived New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast Sort by best level 1 6 points 1 year ago edited 1 year ago I use Kodi on my phone connected with a HDMIMHL Cable to the TV.

It seems like each software got easier and easier to use, now Plex is just the easiest.

Plex will stream everything from the Media Center no problem, has a reddit viewer, youtube app.dont know about the radio but OP wasnt specific to what app anyway.

Continue this thread level 1 2 points 1 year ago You using a RPi, although powerful for the price, just doesnt have the hardware to deliver what you need for a consistent media experience.

The best advice is to save and get a Shield or build a proper HTPC so that itll work without issue.

Just trying my best to make it work with what I have as I cant afford more devices at the moment.

Certainly not a proper HTPC which would run me at least 200 (which is too much money in my currency, 3.5k).

Can you afford 50 or less for an Android TV Box I have them on my TVs I have KM8 Pro boxes with 2gb ram 32gb rom I added a 32gb micro sd card I also have a mini Keyboard with trackpad and an Air Mouse on the other box.

I run Kodi on it and a few Android Apps I can not run Netflix or any other paid service because it does not have DRM With Kodi I access my NAS and read files directly that are in h.265 format.

My setup is probably close to 75 because I have the sd card and keyboard.

Some of these things come with a keyboard I would suggest looking for a S912 or S905 processor with 2gb of ram.

I know this is htpc and not Android boxes normally I dont step in and offer this advice but you say you are on a budget so I thought it was important to offer this as an alternative.

They all pretty much do 4k video without glitching but watch reviews on youtube before you buy.

Redskull is a pretty good review guy but he hasnt done android boxes for a while and honestly nothing much has changed on android tv boxes in the last 18 months.

I havent considered an Android box before (when I was getting the RPi for example) but from what you say may be I should.

Continue this thread level 1 1 point 1 year ago What specific problems are you having with kodi level 2 Original Poster 1 point 1 year ago Several.

Most recently, the Media Info view and different skins issue, the codecinfoplayerinfo overlays that have to be keymapped, the advancedsetting changes between cache and network tags, and finally the yt addon failure to sign in eventhough I have both Kodi and YT TV authorized in the google account.

Steam Link just launched for the Apple TV and I just picked up an Apple TV.
