Just for the heck of it I connected a PI 3A+ to my AVR via HDMI. They AVR supports DLNA but can be flaky and can't queue up more than one directory at a time. The SQ with the PI is great. I decided to try using local display. The AVR has an HDMI pass through that works fine with the cable box.
The Moode local display starts to come up but very slowly. I gave up after ten minutes or so. It's not a huge deal since I expected to control Moode through my phone or tablet, but I would have liked to see the now playing and playlist displays on the TV.
The TV is "smart" and could be used to access Moode through its browser but that involves setting up a wireless keyboard and redirecting the TV audio to the receiver with an optical cable. Using the TV as a display is more straightforward.
Is this working as expected? Would a more muscular Pi like a 4 work better? Does using the Android display simultaneously with the TV impede performance? The AVR is a Denon that's about 8 years old. The TV is a Samsung from 2017.
