What's your TV tech?

[syspry]

I use a Plex media server at home along with my Chromecast and the Plex Android app because I have an ever growing library of hundreds of movies and TV shows spanning about a Terabyte so far and it works great! I tried using the Kodi streamer but found it to be really clunky in comparison to my setup. What do you guys use?

My current setup:

Mac Mini: For when I want to do really heavy duty things with the TV. Play video games, full web browsing, etc. I have a keyboard and mouse stored underneath my coffee table for this function.

Chromecast: Because mostly, I'm in front of my TV with my laptop and it is easy to just stream over a tab, or pick up my phone and stream over a bit of play music. One of my favourite things to do is put on a YouTube playlist I've made of music. It's like having my own personal MTV.

HTC Wildfire: Yes, one stupidly old phone. However, it's become a remote once the laptop or Mac is streaming. It's size, and quite substantial weight, makes it feel quite good as a very basic media centre remote.

I do almost everything via streaming Netflix, so I've never had a need for any kind of media server. I did actually use Plex in the past, but I found it was prone to breaking (things have probably improved in the last two years though)

Use plex, chromecast, fire TV, Xbox and a few wiis for streaming.

Mostly Chromecast these days with different providers like Netflix and HBO, also some downloaded stuff on an Xtreamer media player box - which gives better quality on video and audio compared to the streamed stuff on most occations and also more available media. Sooometimes I use apps on the Xbox One as well.

My AppleTV is not used anymore now.
