Hi,
I'd like to share my (short) experience about Odroid C2 that I've just received today.
Best player ever (ever ever ...) tried. I'm a Plex Pass user since almost 2 years, having a complete home installation with multiple NAS servers, a central Plex server (Mac mini) and 3 players dispatched at TV or projector places around the house.
So far, was using Raspberry Pi2 as players with overall good satisfaction, even having 2 issues that I wasn't able to fix:
- no way to get passthru working on audio HD format (DTS-HDMA, ATMOS, DOLBY TRUE HD, ...)
- From time to time "lagging" and freeze without any special reasons (which was making my wife saying... "You see, that doesn't work..."
Today, I received my brand new Odroid C2, download specific 1.6.2 open PHT for this specific platform... Few minutes or confirguration tweaks (thanks NedtheNerd for your nice advice...) and then the MAGIC happened !
all HD Audio format passthru worked smoothly and recognized by my A/V amplifier
Surprise to disciorver 4K video out in the settings and then played immediately an UHD content within a second and enjoyed the view on my 4K TV... (A/V amplifier confirm receiving 2160p....)
Image quality isn't yet optimal, have to tweak further, but this is just an AWESOME player
The best I ever tested so far, especially at a price point below 70€....
We should have a discussion around this new super performing platform on the Plex forum, reason I'm writing this post. Let's see how far we can leverage that great new hardware. And maybe later on see PMP being compatible with...
