Considering this:

Why don't you go with a pi instead of a shield ?

Android app support most likely

Also 4K and H.265/HEVC video support

An RPi can handle 720p at best, and no Netflix/Prime. Certainly not at 4k with HDR.

On which RPi? With hardware rendering? Which codec? Cause whenever I try it, I get stutters. I first suspected it'd be the wireless of the Chromecast, but that wasn't it.

OpenElec/Kodi, RPi2, never once a stutter

I don't use Kodi, I find it terrible. I use Emby. More important though, is the ffmpeg version and compile options.

Ok, but you're telling me you have studder and performance issues. So... Kodi then.

We don't know why. I use Raspbian; not Openelec.
