I still use my original xbox that runs xbmc (from when xbmc was still just a linux distro for xbox) as my media server. It works fantasically with plenty of storage.
Seriously still running well? They stopped updating that many years ago. I don’t think I’ve booted mine in over ten years, but even then it struggled with some 1080p content, and was not compatible with newer codecs. I cannot imagine that thing handling 4K.
i'm not very familiar with the capabilities of the original xbox, how does that work? are you able to stream stuff using it?
What about high-res media? Encountered any issues with playback?
I can't attest to that. I am more than fine with 1080p.
