I tried a bunch of things on the N2+, but I kept having to install Kodi on whatever I was running and ultimately settled on CoreELEC to keep the things simple and running.
For HTPC there is really no good competing ecosystem
My setup would automatically record the 1 hour block of BBC World News and transcode it to make it suitable for the PSP so I could watch it on the train to work.
Running CoreELEC on an odroid N2+ now, highly recommended.
