Nvidia shield pro 2017

[Rjoshi]

Help me out here,

Currently i have himedia 900b and plan to upgrade to nvidia shield at the same time i also have xbox one connected to my network which is currently used only for gaming by myself and kids, my movies source is internal (himedia) and external usb hdd storage.
My queries

If i discard himedia, can that role by played by xbox one ? for playing movies / music ?

Any restriction on formats which xbox one doesnt support ?
came across this link wherein it still has issues playing hd audio formats over dlna and other
https://xbox.uservoice.com/forums/2...s/suggestions/6029319-proper-hd-audio-support

What would be added advantage to buy nvidia over xbox one ?

My above thought of assigning media player role to xbox one is for neat config and moreover reduce wiring clutter and ease of use by other family members.

Thanks in advance.

Xbox won't play hevc files..
otherwise a great Blu-ray player and plays h264 content via Plex / Kodi

How does Nvidia compare to something like the Mi Box?

I bought the shield last year and pretty much all the reviews I read rated the shield better than the Mi Box

Have had the Shield now for 4-5 months and am very very happy with it.
