I’m interested in trying out OSMC because I’m really tired of my smart TV being well…not that smart. It crashes a lot of we have to reboot it manually because one of the apps isn’t working.

How is it? Is it still pretty easy to use streaming apps? We mostly use Netflix, Disney+, and Apple TV. Occasionally some others as well

Does it work well with Chromecast?

    I honestly don’t know anything about OSMV OSMC besides what I just read on their site.

    Streaming services are gonna be an issue. I’m guessing you’re going to have to hope kodi addons are working. If you happen to find one that works, at best you will get 1080p, probably 720p depending on the service.

    Everyone has their preferences. But ya just need to throw a Roku / Google / AppleTV behind it.

      Yeah that’s what I’m worried about. I just want an open source version of my smart TV that doesn’t have stupid ads on the home screen and trackers and works near flawlessly without all the fuss

        Your best bet is the nvidia sheild. Osmc does not do well with DRMed streaming services at all. I struggled to make youtube work on it.
