Does it play transport streams recorded from Freeview? I have my own software that I wrote to record channels direct from a DVB card but I discovered at some point when I tried out Kodi it could not play them, despite ffmpeg and mpv having no problem. Can you set it up to play from the major streamers (Netflix, Disney, Amazon Prime), e.g., via a browser? Or do they have Apps for that? I have a RockPro64 running Debian as my media centre, but it has some limitations that really annoy me: there are occassional drop outs on the SPDIF and HDMI sound; I can't get AC3 passthrough on the sound working (despite the datasheet for the SoC saying that it supports it on SPDIF and HDMI) and the HDMI output is not compatible with my old surround sound audio pre-amp so I get no sound. I currently feed HDMI direct to the TV and then export sound via SPDIF from the TV back to the audio pre-amp. Overall a bit disappointing. Cheers Michael.
