I bought a monitor since the smarts in my smart-tv died, making the entire display unusable. Now I wanted to use a separate SBC for smarts in the “dumb” monitor. I would have gone for a modded fire-stick, but Amazon in their infinite wisdom, sunset all versions except the 720p potato and the smart-speaker-cube. I’m currently using a RaspberryPi 4 and looking at argon one for a remote control case. Googles widevine does limit the DRM on some content I “own” though. With Amazon on course to EOL the more sane sticks, are there any well-moddable streaming-sticks/boxes, that bring the relevant codecs and DRMs?

    Thanks…I’m afraid Walmart doesn’t sell outside of the US. I’m Asia based :( Also, seems this model is no longer available for sale. There’s a newer one with 32GB of storage (vs the listed lineageOS one which seems to be 8GB only), and the wiki explains that any other device not matching the exact model most likely will not work.

        Thanks…I think the Shield is supported, and I might be able to get my hands around a 2019 model…the cylinder one. But seems very bulky compared to all the other alternatives, given that I’m thinking about it for traveling mostly. I’ll give it a thought.
