I am currently using a RPi 3 for my Plex client downstairs. And while it works relatively well, it's getting a bit long in the tooth. For example, it doesn't work with HEVC/H265 codecs and the video sometimes jitters despite being connected to the network using a piece of wire.
So, I am thinking of replacing it with something new-ish, something I can hide behind the TV but still give me Plex (or Kodi, if I choose it). Yes, I could use an old laptop but it's a bit of an overkill.
I have an old "M9S" Android box but its software is awful and Plex client on it doesn't play any sound. I couldn't really find any alternative firmware/OS for it so I'd ideally like something new (though with a view to avoid any more Android boxes - Androids really belong on a phone, not a TV).
Suggestions?
