How about an Orange Pi running Android with a external USB drive?
It actually seems like one of these or a raspberry pi running Kodi might be exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!
Second the pi with Kodi.
Been using this for years now. Works really well.
You will need a flymouse too.. Good luck mate 👍👍
Just a note, the orange pi drivers are not in great shape. It’s getting better but I have a cluster of raspberry pi’s for development, bought an orange pi without first checking out much about them and it’s rough. Rockchip CPUs are great, and the driver / firmware situation is getting better, but something I’d read up on before buying one.
I’d still look at the N100, it’s about 2.5x the performance of raspberry pi 5, and being x86 you have more options than arm.
