In 2025 The Shield TV Pro is still the best answer. Put Smart Tube on it for YouTube.
Then, you've got options for other, legally obtained media. The simplest would be connecting a USB Hard Drive to it.
The next step up would be a NAS Device.
Another step up would be a Media Server. Which, can do all sorts of stuff. Maybe even rip and encode your BRs right on it.
However you slice it, the Shield is still the best. Especially, because of it's up sampling.

The Shield is $150 when Onn TV boxes are $20 and can do 95% of what the Shield can do. The remaining 5% is for gaming and the Onn is no slouch.

Granted, I have 2 Shield Pros already but it seems like this would run faster. It would just be a luxury purchase and I was thinking it would also make for a ready made DVR for Kodi
If you go that route, I strongly encourage you to do some sort of cooling mod. This isn't a *sense writeup but also describes some of the overheating issues and a possible solution: https://ivoras.substack
Personally, I'd get some other system without cooling issues (e.g., https://www.amazon.com/Beelink-La...B0C339KVH9). This G9 has its uses due to the 4 NVMe slots, but there are other better options if you don't need that many slots.
I like the PD USB-C, WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2
That 64GB EMMC would be great as the boot drive for some version of Linux. It'd be perfect for something like TrueNAS.
