What’s a good alternative? I’m fine installing alternative OS and was looking at some lineageOS TV stuff but seeing mixed reports on whether you can get full quality on streaming services that way
The Onn streaming devices are recommended a lot. I picked one up for a new TV and besides needing a google account it’s inoffensive and supports Projectivity launcher to customize and reduce ads.
I have a Shield TV running LineageOS. It tells me that the device is not optimised for Netflix, but it plays in 1080. I mostly just use Jellyfin, mostly.
Not sure about Netflix, but 4k Dolby Vision / HDR10 through Jellyfin is fine. I don’t know if I have any HDR10+ files to check, I’ll find out and let you know.
Oh, cool. I read on the LineageOS wiki that Dolby Vision doesn’t work on the shield with LOS installed, so good to hear that it works. The LOS wiki also says that Nvidia’s AI upscaling doesn’t work, so not sure if that’s also the case.
What’s the benefit of running LOS over stock Android Shield ships with? Asking as someone who has the device with Projectivity Launcher, Jellyfin, Immich Frame, etc. Is it for degoogling?

Torrenting. The reddit piracy megathread is quite good.

no ty. i’d rather use a pc-based device even if it means my ‘remote control’ is a wireless mini-keyboard with trackpad.

Does it playback Dolby Vision and HDR10+ content?
