    Looking for a 4k media streaming device to replace my WD TV Live

    Maybe there is a more better fitting sub but didn't find it. Anyway I'm looking for a replacement for my WD TV live as it doesn't support 4k. Else I actually really liked it!

    What are my key features? KISS. I absolutely detest all this trying to be smart dlna / media server crap like plex. No, i don't need to transcode anything or try to smart guess subtitles from the internet and somehow remove embedded subs. /rant

    WD TV live let me play video files from samba shares as-is while serving all embedded or external subtitles (not just 1 that fits some obscure rules and dropping all other ones).

    So it's really simple (one would think):

    • must support 4k HDR (hevc/h.265 at least)
    • must support containers mostly mkv and mp4
    • must support older codecs (h.264 etc)
    • must support samba shares with all types of subtitles (embedded, external, srt, sub,...)
    • all of the above in plug and play style (enter share credentials once and it just works, like wd tv live)

    But I fail to find a player that explicitly states this. All seem to be geared around plex and similar "trying to be smart" systems. Even the NV Shield TV according to my research has multiple issue with samba.

    What are my options?

    Can I play video games from google play on my Google TV (Chromecast)?

    I'm a bit hesitant to buying some video games through the google app store because I don't want to only be able to play it on my phone. If I bought some of these retro games I have and play them through Google TV (chromecast)?

    I have one last question. Would I be able to play these games through stadia? Thanks! I'm a big retro gamer. I am dying to play many games I grew up with.

    I love using google Chromecast with android tv but id like a smart speaker to use with it. I have google nest and nest hub but I don't believe there's a way to use them as a sort of surround sound for youtube and such. Now I know this sounds wrong but is there a way to use a homepod mini as a workaround. I love the homepod mini as well and was just wondering, thanks.
