OK what the hell. This is the platform I was considering jumping into. Is nothing sacred anymore? That thing costs a fortune by TV stick standards.

Yep, everything is fucked. You can put kodi on a raspberry pi though I guess

You honestly got me thinking about the viability of throwing android TV on an RP4. I have one that I was going to use for a magic mirror, but I never got around to building it. I'm guessing I could find a remote and an IR module for the RP4, then just load android TV to it? Time to go down the rabbit hole...
