[mythtv-users] latest google tv hd and 4k

[George Bingham]

Hello,

Has anyone used a new one of these with mythtv yet?

I have the original chromecast with google tv. It uses the 32 bit mythtv
build. It probably would be adequate, but there's so little room that by
the time I have my streaming services loaded, there's very little cache
left and mythtv often fails to play HD recordings.

>From what I understand, the latest incarnations also come with limited
storage, but I read that if you hook it to a usb hub, it can use whatever
drives you connect to it for storage. Not sure if that's the case with the
original incarnation, and I don't have a usb-c hub that I can test it out
on, but it may be that mythtv would work better on it if there was some
extra space left empty on the device itself for cache & buffering?

Anyway, would be curious to hear what you think if you have the HD device.

We only have one 4k TV and we have the Shield connected there and mythtv 64
bit build works wonderfully there, so not in the market for the 4k
chromecast device, but would still be interested if someone has one with
mythtv on it to hear how it works.

Thanks,

-- George
