Also, I realize that this device isn't as popular as some other devices. My Raspberry Pi 3 doesn't have the horsepower to use my HDHomerun Prime at all though, so I've just been using it as a dedicated emulation machine.
As for 1080p: I can stream using 1080p when using Kodi and the Netflix addon. But using my HDHRP to stream 1080p live-TV results in a massive amount of buffering or video playback for about 3 seconds followed by freezing. If I log into my HDHRP and drop to 720p I don't have any issues. I haven't looked into it much, but I suspect that the Prime is sending out video in an incompatible format or is sending so much data that the Rock64 can't keep up.
I linked my Google account simply because I wanted to get Kodi from the Play Store and not from Aptoide. Quite frankly, I wouldn't use Aptoide at all if I wasn't forced to. I'd get all of my apps from the Play Store if I didn't get the "not compatible" message. Aptoide is simply a way to get the apps I know work but cannot get on the Play Store.
I hate Android, so yeah, much better Linux support is desperately needed here. Ah, you meant 1080p videos from this HDHomeRun Prime thing. It's most likely a software limitation as the Rock64 can even do 4K, supposedly. All right, cool, so I don't need to link my G account at all. I may try your little guide if I go back to using the R64. Or maybe I should try selling it first, I'm not sure yet.
