replacing the google tv 4k with LibreELEC on this hardware
I got the raspberry pi 5 because i am moving away from proprietary technology and self hosting media and the last device i was using was the google tv 4k, i turned this into a media center to replace that with LibreELEC/Kodi running linux, no issues with the Raspberry pi 5 or the Active cooler aswell and keeps it around 50c. I can play all 1080p h.264 HEVC or vp9, anything 4k 60fps like vp9 or HEVC it does start to struggle but i am not watching any of that type of videos. With the microHDMI to HDMI on a 4k tv I was only able to do 4k 30fps while the Google tv 4k could do 4k 60, but the Raspberry Pi 5 allowed me to use 1080p 120fps which i like a lot Overall i am happy with this and this store shipped it quickly from NSW to Vic within 3 days with normal shipping.
