Stremio. And everything can be 4k hdr10
Also Nuvio, a fork of Stremio that seems to modernize the interface a bit more.
Yeah, Stremio + SmartTube + CloudStream + my deGoogled Onn 4k TV Box rules.
Smarttube...is a hero!
How do you deGoogle an Onn box/device?

Thanks. From what I gather, you still need to connect a Google account to it though. Is that correct or did I miss something?

There are workarounds. If it does require a Google account, set one up with fake info, then delete it once getting past the initial setup screen.
Did the fake info, but it's impossible to remove the Google account, it seems. It only allows you to switch to another Google account. But not remove entirely.
Hm, weird. I was able to remove my temp Google account from the OS.
Was that on an Onn device?
Yes.

I wouldn't even have a problem for paying for Netflix honestly, if the base plan was 4k.
But it's not.
I wouldn't have a problem paying for it if they were making good content consistently. I think KPop Demon Hunters and Stranger Things are the only things I've watched on there since Marvel took their ball.
The other issue i had honestly, is that the last few things i watched on there, turned out was from Australian TV anyway lol (like Rake, utopia).
I can't even watch 4k with a 4k subscription because they don't allow that on the desktop.
But pirates don't care and I can enjoy the show like it was meant to be.
You don’t need to say “this”. It adds nothing. Just upvote and move on
This.
I do wish they had profiles though, and a queue separate from the library for that matter
Stremio is enshitifying. Profiles were a long asked feature and they are implementing that in a paid Stremio subscription.
So you either suck it up and pay or hope that alternatives like Nuvio, Aurora and RealStream gain more traction and support.
