Howdy
Just curious what the tech savvy people of Bigfooty use as a media player/streaming device to watch their content on ?
From 2010 until late 2018, I used a WDTV media player. Connecting a hard drive to it, I was able to playback any content I desired.
With the device failing I've been attempting to use other programs and devices to continue on my merry way. My main media player has been the Nvidia Shield combined with the Kodi app, it plays the dvds I've got with little fuss. Where I've been frustrated and struggling with over the past year is the bluray and also 4K content.... it doesn't always playback as it should (there's a bit of stuttering here and there ).
I've tried adjusting the settings within Kodi itself (hardware acceleration etc), some titles playback flawlessly.... whereas others the stuttering throughout is very tedious.
I've used other devices on the same tv (eg: xbox, ps4) also tried the Appletv app and the playback doesn't stutter. I'm leaning towards the issue being with the NVidia shield itself not having enough processing power to playback the videos.
If anyone has any recommendations please share
