I need to buy one for an old TV i have. I have plex at home and i use also Stremio + real Debrid. If the device offers a controller it would be nice. Thanks!

Rpi with Libreelec. Then with all the add-ons you need.

Agreed. Also it's likely you'll be able to use your TV's remote with it via CEC or if not you can still use the remote app on your phone.

Nvidia Shield or AppleTV4K.

I use an AppleTV4K with the Infuse app to connect to my NAS. Works flawlessly.

Infuse also has support for Plex. I haven’t tried using it with Real Debrid but it does work apparently by adding it as a WebDAV source.

I use Alldebrid over WebDAV on infuse. The sync times can be incredibly long, opening the magnets folder of my WebDAV takes around 2 minutes with around 300 torrents - around 4k files. You only need to do this long syncing when your library changes, streaming is near instant.

NVIDIA Shield is the best from what I hear.

It is, I've had one of mine since 2016 and it still works amazingly for anything I'd want from it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Best depends on your needs. For me it’s an Apple TV with Infuse.

I use xiaomi mi tv stick 1080p (android). Works great

Looks like this option is the one that would allow easily having PLEX and stremio + real debrid. AND also not spending an enormous amount of money.

Curious about this, too. I can't fit stremio and iptv on my firestick, so I'm hoping to find something bigger, but cheaper than a Shield.

I finally decided to buy a Xiaomi TV Box 2nd gen. Sound like is what you are looking for too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They both appear to have 8GB. The firestick comes with a lot of bloatware, though. If the TV Box doesn't, that might work.

I use stremio on a formuler Z11 max pro, so far I never had any issues with it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've got a CCWGTV and can't be happier. Replaced the default launcher with Stremio, Streamtube and Kodi prominent at the top.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been able to use xiaomi's mi boxes with Stremio pretty well

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think i will go for this option. I don't want to pay a ridiculous amount of money for an Apple TV, RPI or a Nvidia shield to even waste a lot of time researching and configuring crap. I mean, just for Plex and Stremio...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

It might also be an affordable option to get a Chromecast too. Very lightweight, honestly pretty cheap, and even if it's a Google device, you have to log into Google accounts on all the other options anyways so the trade-off isn't massive. Pretty sure you can load stremio onto it too

What about Nokia 8010 or RockTek G2? Been looking at one of these as a jellyfin client, but also retain the possibility of using streaming apps. Otherwise I'd probably throw kodi on a intel N100 based box (some of these can be had fairly cheap)
