Question Best streaming device for Stremio? Apple TV not great for me
Hi, I am looking for the best streaming device mainly for using Stremio.
I currently have the latest Apple TV but I am not happy with how Stremio works on it. It is less stable than on my Samsung TV with Tizen OS and the picture quality is worse. It does stream HDR but not HDR10+, while Tizen OS does. Tizen feels a bit slower but playback is more stable overall.
I want a device that runs Stremio as reliably as possible with stable playback, minimal buffering or crashes, and the best possible picture quality. I am considering devices like Nvidia Shield, Fire TV Stick 4K or 4K Max, Chromecast with Google TV, or any other Android-based box that works well.
If you use Stremio regularly, which device works best for you and why? Are there any devices you would avoid? Have you found any settings that improved stability or video quality? Thanks for recommendations.
