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

RPi's probably not a great option anyway. Too low-powered for streaming video.

I'd probably recommend one of the used USFF office PCs w/ X86 processors commonly for sale on eBay for cheap. Bonus: These are the same ones people will recommend for low power homeservers so you could have it running those as well.

What about a chromebox flashed with some linux os? Nice and cheap mini x86 pc. Just picked one up for 35 bucks with an i7 6th gen, just hoping it uses sodimm and isnt integrated on the mobo.

Not sure what you mean by a "Chromebox"?

Basically a small form factor pc running ChromeOS by default, but still a pc usually with multiple USB slots, ethernet, and display port(s)

Oh, I would look into that first. Big problem with Linux is driver support and while you would think ChromeOS = Linux = same support, it unfortunately doesn't work that way.

That doesn't look like it would have SODIMM either...

I'm thinking about running WayDroid on mine...
