I know some people play games and stuff, but as a streaming device, why? The newest Chromecast handles x264 and can support an Ethernet port just fine for like half the price.
Also supports miracast for the odd screen casting need
The comments are the place to be on news posts. So we can discuss those features to decide which ones are stupid and which are worthwhile.
This shouldn't be the only thing here, of course. But some subjects don't evolve as rapidly. News happens every day on every subject. Custom ROMs update every few weeks, and usually aren't important enough updates to care about.
As other's have said Navidrome is the way to go. Not the most featureful, but it's so much faster than every other solution that you make it work. It's also very close to a huge update to support plugins and stuff.
I use the DSub app. Free from fdroid. Configured to download 10 songs in advance, for when I'm driving with spotty service, and download my favorites.
It also let's you set different internal and external IP addresses, if you need that. I think most people do unless you run a DNS server.
Drive in theaters use your car radio now instead of those little speakers. Though overall the niche was replaced with movie theaters.
Fountain drinks are probably about the same. Though some places can do things like chilling the line. Again, the niche was largely replaced with cans and bottles. For their shortcomings, they keep fizz in much better than fountain.
They might have us beat on happy days. I didn't watch it.
Hardware is more capable... To do what?
