I can't seem to reproduce on Kodi. Seriously, stop buying into the surveillance industry paradigm of churn. Stop connecting devices running proprietary software to their desired Internet command and control channel. Stop using streaming services that demand buying into the surveillance industry ecosystem. Stop talking about any of these attractive nuisances as if they're anything but technological dead ends.

It's at least somewhat understandable when Joe Sixpack goes to Targmart and tries to buy a TV, but comes home with a manufacturer backdoored surveillance device and only discovers the trap six months later. But why is this seemingly a consumer concern for a technical community? Everyone here should know better.

What's your setup?

[mindslight]

LG 43UD79 display (I believe the newer model is 43UN700), Kodi on NixOS pulling from an NFS mount, N3700-ITX motherboard (started its life as a low power server, then a router, now this), 2U black rackmount case with the ears removed that looks right at home in the entertainment center. I only do 1080p, if I wanted 4k I think I'd have to change the motherboard for a CPU with better decoding hardware.

I've had it in my head that I wouldn't mind a larger display some time, and from what I've seen I certainly can't rule out having to suffer some crapware UI with a glacial turn on delay. The important bit is that I would never connect such a device to the Internet where continuous updates invite manufacturer malfeasance.

In fact this is exactly what I've done with my receiver (Marantz NR1605). It was sold with various streaming capability gimmicks that didn't and don't matter to me. It continues to perform the same function that I bought it for nearly a decade ago.
