alternative to nvidia shield

by palo34

is there any alternative that can play all video formats, including raw BD and does not cost over a hundred? I am considering xiaomi Mi box. Please comment.

"All video formats" means you have to move away from the Android OS and get something Linux based.

Like the AMLogic S905 or S912 Chipset devices running CoreELEC Kodi:

And that applies x2 if you have BD 4K content - because you need Gigabit Ethernet everything then if home network streaming.

Expect problems with Android, when streaming old BD VC-1 encoded Rips, mpeg4, Xvid and Interlaced mpeg2 (DVD Rips).

Other (Most NOT Netflix Approved options):

The new Amlogic S905X2 chipset in the Mecool KM3 and KM9 Pro is faster vs both the Mi Boxes and Jetstream.

Those new Mecools are also running Android TV OS Pie 9.0
