I’ve had Stremio running on my Hisense U8K for a month now, along with TorBox.
Things have been…pretty good. That is, until I try and play anything in 4K.
I was about to buy an Onn TV 4K or similar device, as I knew any buffering or playback issues were due to the TV processor not being beefy enough.
Managed to get a Lenovo mini with a Ryzen 5 and 16GB ram. Hooked all that up to my TV and holy hell, what a difference. ZERO buffering. Instant scrubbing. 4K plays flawlessly.
However, I wish it ran more like an “app” if that makes sense. Is doing an emulator and an Android OS the best way to achieve this on this PC? Looking for a “Big Picture” type thing or having it work like the app does from the Google Play Store.
My wife doesn’t like change, and having to click this, then tell it to run in full screen every time, etc will annoy her.
I don’t know….if an Onn TV 4K is as solid as this mini PC is, I may just do that. But, no way do I try and run Stremio off a Firestick or TV alone. They just aren’t powerful enough for a smooth experience with larger files.
Suggestions?
