I am building a home theater with a projector and 126″ screen and 7.2.4 Atmos surround sound. I have been running a Kodi box since back in the old original Xbox days. I want to continue to run Kodi and I am trying to decide on the best hardware. I currently run LibreELEC on a couple Chromeboxes throughout the house, but I want something speedier in the home theater. I do appreciate the appliance like operation of LibreELEC but I am curious about the 4K streaming ability of the Shield. I would usually want everything to start up right in to Kodi and I choose when to exit out rather than always have to always open the Kodi app every time I sit down in the theater. Can this be done with the Shield?
Also, is there any advantage to a powerful NUC or computer over the Shield?
