I’ve got a Vero 4K to watch photos stored on my NAS. It is a couple of years old and it seems to be dying.
My requirements are:
Watch videos stored on NAS via NFS/SMB
Install Stremio
4K
Available in NZ
Sound doesn’t matter too much as I have a simple sound bar.
The Google TV 4K is sold here for NZ$79 and gets raving reviews. It seems I can install Stremio and VLC or Kodi, so that should meet my requirements.
The alternative is a Xiami TV Stick 4K which is NZ$69
I know the NVidia Shield is the best, but they are above budget.
Probably my only concern with these dongles is that they are WiFi based, but I have a very solid WiFi network with an Ubiquiti access point, so that should be fine.
So I’m leaning towards the Google TV 4K, any concerns or considerations?

Thanks, I think that’s too much hassle, sorry.
