I second this. LibreElec on a RaspPi 3 B+ has nearly flawless
playback. Some menus are great, but others (like Recordings) I find
a little clunky. Not terrible, just clunky.<br>
<br>
And it just worked. Install, enable Myth's plugin and configure the
plugin to point to the backend - and it was good to go.<br>
<br>
The playback looks nicer than my NUC's, I think. But really, it's
hard to tell.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>Does this also play H.265 HEVC content?
