As per title really.
I want to hook it up to a little 8” screen in our music room for a nice Cover Art show, with the optical connection going to the amplifier for audio.
Cheers.

For 25 bucks, you can buy a box that splits the audio from HDMI to an optical out.

Maybe that doesn't make sense for your solution due to cost, but it does give you options in the future and can work with any HDMI signal.
What about one of these into the HDMI splitter?

I should have been clearer, sorry.
I’m after a box that has Android TV/Chromecast to display the Cover Art on a little monitor and an optical out to connect to my amplifier for the audio side of things.
Lovely, thank you.
mibox, the minix with android series also has it but it lacks the built in chromecast.
