Wdtv 2k16!

WD Legacy Products WD TV Media Player

a cheap $99 Beelink i86 … works ok, but sometimes has an intermittant ‘stutter’ during playback in Kodi (Playback through installed software is fine)

But, i mainly use it for Games (PPSSPP, Reicast etc) , 4K , H265 Stuff (which aint a lot)

RPi2 is my main video player … 100% Perfect Playback

22

If my latest conversation with WD support is any indication, there’s nothing even in the works at this point. I’m assuming the line is dead.

23

lol for games i have xbox one :stuck_out_tongue: okay, yeah RPI2 is a good one and cheap, but not very powerful ^^ i just ordered my nvidia shield from cdiscount ^^

24

wd don’t share plans for future releases like every companies…

nvidia tv shield :slight_smile:

26

Yeah i got a PS4 and PS3 … but they don’t have emulators (PPSSPP, Reicast are emu’s)

powerful enough for my purposes (MKV,MP4 H.264 playback) which is all i need

Enjoy :slightly_smiling:

One thing you may have to sort out on the Nvidia Shield TV … it doesn’t natively support Hardware Acceleration for VC-1 Codec (Used in Bluray’s / WMV etc)
This means potential “Stuttering” of playback (because it’s using Software Decoding)

Apparently there is a “Hack” … for Hardware decoding (but you’ll have to gOOgle)

Thankfully … i can just buy the VC-1 license for the RPi2 to enable Hardware Acceleration (no hacks involved)

i saw running test on the shield, can handled hevc h265 4K until 120mbps man…don’t worry, it’s the more powerfull box i read test, reviews, comparisons, my choice is made and i suggest that you buy one and tou will need an upgrade :wink:
