I’m interested in trying out OSMC because I’m really tired of my smart TV being well…not that smart. It crashes a lot of we have to reboot it manually because one of the apps isn’t working.

How is it? Is it still pretty easy to use streaming apps? We mostly use Netflix, Disney+, and Apple TV. Occasionally some others as well

Does it work well with Chromecast?

    It’s there anything out there that can pretend to be a Chromecast that’s not a Chromecast? And lets apps like Netflix cast to it?

      Why do you need to cast to it? An Android TV device like the one I mentioned can just play that content.

        I’ve had my fill of proprietary media boxes. I have a box full of them somewhere. Eventually they fall behind in codecs and protocols and processing power and updates and they become useless.

        I guess I’ll bite the bullet and install Kodi in a container…
