<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Thanks Greg, I'll look into getting one of these. I have a chromecast on the same TV that's connected to my backend, but I rarely use the chromecast for myth because it has to go through the wifi, and because lack of storage means lack of buffer / cache space causes myth to fail too often. This would solve both of those problems.</div><div><br></div><div>I have used leanfront, but I value commercial skip too much to leave it behind.</div><div><br></div><div>I am excited to try your new leanfront with commercial skip, but I haven't gotten it to work yet - it will start, but then fail immediately when I tell it to play something.
