Second this, android tv will run kodi (with seren) and stremio if you wanna go the real-debrid route. And if you decide to board media for some reason it'll run plex, emby, or jellyfin. Shield tv used to be king but its pretty expensive for older hardware

Yeah, I would probably have a Shield Pro if the price was lower. It does seem to have to best support though.

I've really been pleased with it once I bit the bullet, you might keep a lookout around black friday/cyber monday for a possible discount

This is the front runner, but I’m not sure which device is the best though. Nvidia Shield seems to be the most logical answer.

It's built into my TV as the OS. For TVs I've had in the past without Android TV baked in I'd use a Chromecast with Google TV.
