    With a weak Amlogic processor, 4GB of eMMC storage, and only 512MB of RAM, the device is too underpowered to run anything more demanding than its intended lightweight web-based media player.

    Microcontroller hobbiests are over here salivating at those specs with the included screen and rotary controller

      I’m just waiting for someone to integrate it into Home Assistant as a dashboard. Slim profile, tactile buttons, and a nice sized display would be a fantastic home dashboard screen.

      But it can’t run Crysis or Chrome with 28 tabs. Thus, useless.

      Yeah, you can run a modern audio streaming client on an ESP32 with 16MB of flash and 8MB of RAM , look at the LoudESP project

    Sounds like it could run winamp, vlc etc just fine. 512mb ram is plenty.

    If its just a web player with a custom skin why do they need to EOL the product? This doesn’t make sense to me.

    I’m sorry but this smells like bullshit. I’m pretty sure the thing is as powerful as my first android phone
