loquacius posted:What's the advantage of Apple TV supposed to be over Roku again every time i use a roku i feel like it must be running on a 8086, every button press on the remote takes a second to register, ui actions animate at like 5 fps they work but its clear that the os not optimized, the hardware underpowered, and the apps not held to any kind of standard that being said airplay is a turd, it works fine from a macbook but low power devices (iphones) skip and stutter if the wifi signal drops to anything less than perfect, which guess what: it will when you're walking around with your phone in your pocket there is no reason that media should actually stream from my phone. if you have itunes match itll get the song name from your phone and then stream from the cloud instead of your device but this doesnt do anything for pandora/spotify/etc 30 TO 50 FERAL HOG fucked around with this message at 17:36 on Sep 20, 2016 |

Last Chance posted:does roku even hold apps in memory yet or does it still just dump everything when you go to the homescreen The latter, but I actually like that because it means when the lovely HBO GO app goes into a bad state I can do a fresh restart of it super easily infernal machines posted:or you can use miracast, which windows 8+ support natively to stream and do display mirroring. the roku supports it natively I looked into this a while back before even getting a Roku, but forgot about it entirely until just now, thanks  Plex works great for streaming audio/video files but sometimes you have very specific edge cases that doesn't cover

infuse is good, my only complaint is that progress doesnt sync across devices. you can use some external service to track if youve watched entire epsidoes/movies but not your place within them

There's no way to run emulators/etc on the ATV, right? That was one of the reasons I got a FireTV instead of the ATV, as I didn't want to build another computer for just emulators and what not. FireTV has been very needs-suiting.

I would have to buy an Apple TV to perform this test so no thank you Actually a hotel I stayed in recently had apple tvs in every room (it was a hipster hotel) and my main reaction to using it was "I am slightly annoyed by this UI being different from the one I'm used to and this remote doesn't have enough buttons on it" rather than "I can't believe how quick and responsive the Netflix menu is on this wonderful device!!!" or anything like that I'm aware that that's not really a point against Apple TV, just sayin' the old "give it one try and you'll see how much better it is" scenario didn't happen
