when is the next version coming
>>109704017Likely the day after I buy one to replace the Chromecast 4K I use at my second house (2019 Shield TV Pro at the main one).
>>109704017Roku box?
All it's missing is AV1 support. Find something that supports AV1 at least. If most of your shit is still in HEVC or AVC, then don't worry about it. It's a powerhouse for those formats.
>>109704017if you don't already have an Ugoos AM6B+ there's no saving you
>>109704196FireTV Cube 3 fits the bill just use current root exploit to stop updates and change launcher.
>>109705143USB2 and 100mbps LAN though
>>109704017I don't get this thing. I've had it for years with no complaint other than the UI getting extremely sluggish. It handles whatever fucking giant blu ray rip I throw at it without issue. Why is the Android TV UI such an issue?
>>109705207Ads. Just change the launcher. I've been using wold launcher for the past three years wirh no problem.
>>109705257Wolf Launcher* I mean. It's not difficult.
>>109705165Shouldn't really be a problem, if you don't want to watch raw 4k bluray rips.
>>109705267>if you don't want to watch raw 4k bluray rips.So it'll be a problem
>>109704017I have one, and I don't want to buy whatever garbage nvidoa puts out next. What I want is someone to make something that has all the features you expect from a TV box (CEC, normal TV remote, etc) that runs Plasma Bigscreen.
>>109704017i thought it was coming not that much later than the switch 2 but here we are
>>109704649This>>109704017When AI crashes and Jensen remembers there are other market segments
>>109705165>>1097052674K Blu-rays rarely hit 100mbps and even if they did you'd just have an extra 10 seconds of buffer. The shit isn't going to stutter. That's a non-issues. That said I'm not touching a fucking locked down FireTV thats a pain to side load, those things suck.
>>109704649>Ugoos AM6B+Shill it to me. Explain why would I want to let a relatively powerful chinkshit computer with black box software be permanently connected to my home network and have direct access to at least some storage resources.
>>109706930because you're smart
>>109706930you don't have you run it on the internet, moron
>>109706956Pretend that I'm not and then explain it. >>109706966I said home network. My media server and storage is on the home network. Moron.
>>109706930>block box softwareJust use coreelec (open source) for Dolby vision fel anyway.Basically, it's the only cheap box that can playback everything at the highest quality. The "black box" software it ships with is Android TV, btw.
>>109707078>>109704649Even videophiles have to squint on a paused screen to see the difference between DV FEL and MEL. I ain't bothering with dual booting a chinkbox for that shit.
>>109707286It depends on the movie, but yeah that's fair FEL is pretty useless. coreelec is still way better than android 9 if you don't use streaming services though, I haven't booted the Android side since i first got the box.But I was starting with no TV box, if you already have a shield pro and don't care about how it can sometimes fuck up DV displaying, then it's got the best upscaling and postprocessing of all the boxes.
>>109707308>>109707286>fuck up DV displayingTo be clear, I'm talking about the shield red shift issue that is far more noticeable than MEL/FEL on most discs.
>>109704017I would get an AppleTV if they had a smart tube TV app.
>>109707308>then it's got the best upscaling and postprocessing of all the boxesIt is just a sharpness filter. That feature is completely stupid. Let your TV do the upscaling.
>>109707946>Let your TV do the upscalingDepends on the TV. That choice makes sense if you've got a recent Sony.
