On a side note, I bought an nvidia shield recently after running a full htpc for years with kodi, and it's pretty awesome. Not only do I get best kodi player ever that attaches and plays all my local on-net content, but it does all the pay services with a full, sanctioned android build as well, if you're into the paying sort of thing. I've installed some apps on there as well like a squeezeplayer app for being a squeeze renderer, my various automation clients side-loaded (sucks they won't load default here), and is really flexible so far as a media player AND android device on my tv/receiver. Lately they just added google assistant voice as well, which besides unnerving me with an always on mic the government can/does use, is sort of fun to play with. Roku wha? A shield is a lot more expensive ($179 now), but well worth it so far. What else are folks doing here these days for media players? -mb On Sun, Oct 22, 2017 at 12:41 PM, Mark Phillips wrote: > Now I have no idea what is going on.
