Kodi bloats pretty quickly though. My Kodi on my Shield takes up about 3GB, not really sure why, assume it must be all the thumbnails, etc.
No issue on a Shield or a pc, not great for more limited devices.
It is strange that there still doesn't seem to be anything to compete with the shield even though it's 4 years old now.
I'm surprised there isn't a remote friendly Linux distribution out there somewhere.
If the TV is smart, then sideload kodi, and use it to access a samba / NFS share on the laptop. No need to play with librelec.
