HI all,
I was just about to buy a chrome box and after a chat with the bloke in the shop, which didn't have one in stock, I decided to try something I have had on my mind for a while.
I want to use my old HTC M7 as a media pc. While it has no storage to speak of (though up to 32GB) it can stream across a LAN and play movies and music without issue.
I wanted to ask more knowledgeable people than me what the outcome might be.
All I will use it for is to surf the web, play music, stream tv and movies form the storage pc in the house.
Here are my reservations:
- that not all media types are supported and I will have to import each item to the phone (I use ES file explorer)
- that I will not get a true full screen
- that I can't find a 100% compatible bluetooth keyboard and mouse
If there are any other issues I should be aware of please comment below
Thanks
