Is the nvidia shield TV still the go-to box for streaming content to your TV?

I don’t really need much, just something that can pick up jellyfin. hulu/HBO/etc. is a bonus

    A kodi distro, such as LibreElec would be my vote, but I don’t believe it does streaming services very well, if at all.

    I am so done with streaming services.The local library has more TV and films than I’ll ever have the time or inkling to actually watch.

      Kodi / LibreELEC has add-ons available to most of the most popular streaming services. The trouble is that it hasn’t the necessary licenses for playing content in the best resolutions (the same goes with most browsers). I myself have a Homatics R 4k Plus (which is a licensed box) and installed CoreELEC. When using Android I can stream my content in the highest resolutions (Star Plus, HBO Max and Disney Plus) but when using CoreELEC I can’t.

        Thanks for clarifying. I recalled seeing something about 720p caps for certain streaming services when using non-DRM platforms, but I wasn’t sure which.
