Hello, I have a firestick which provides very jittery stream in kodi with vaders. I have 100mb down/10mb up on comcast internet. It was recently brought to my attention that the jitteriness is due to firestick not being powerful enough for something as intensive as streaming on kodi. It also overheats and kodi crashes continuously. It drives me insane.
What other alternative is there for android box without spending a fortune? ...that eliminates Shield, which is always recommended in these sorts of threads. I don't want to use Stbemu. Xiaomi Mi Box 3 is another recommended product. What about regular firetv? I already have dreamlink in main room so getting another dreamlink or mag isn't an option (vaders only allows 1 MAC).
Does anyone have experience with various different boxes? I will be using wireless-n on kodi, and I do need a halfway decent controller.
Everybody is always so quick to point the finger at throttling, but those claims almost always boil down to a shitty internet connection and the wrong assumption that the "paying for" speed is what your device is actually working with. Especially among those insisting on not going hardwired.
It's either that or it sounds like you have more of a faulty firestick issue then a lack of power one, as for the most part a second generation firestick on a solid 100mbp internet connection can handle most of what kodi has to offer just fine. At least in video playback terms.
That said, the Xiaomi Mi has always been notably better at picking up a solid wifi signal at a more then a right next to the router distance then any of my Amazon devices.
