How is transcoding handled? Does the Intel iGPU have the drivers/support to do transcoding on the fly?
Anyway… In this instance, I’m mainly looking for a client reccs. I have a crappy Roku streaming stick that needs to get replaced, and I’m wondering which client device is the best. An Android device or AppleTV seem to be best choices, since I could get commercial services with hardware acceleration on them if I wanted to.

Yep, intel processors support hardware transcoding starting with sandy bridge

To your second point I have run stremio on a chromecast and it’s been fine. But I also don’t stream anything higher than 1080p
