Not a big fan of VLC but it's very nice that it is available. There are now many apps that play a variety of formats. For example, MrMC which is basically Kodi ( without AddOns) and Infuse both bring a lot to the platform. There's also Video Player …

They may be adding 400 a day or whatever but most seem really underwhelming. Not much better than Android TV. They do have Infuse, Plex and similar apps which are quite good but they also have a strange Netflix app, the layout of which is awful. It …
