For the media centre you might want to look at libreELEC, for a comparison, just to see whether that runs stable. OTOH it's only 32-bits wide :-P https://libreelec.tv/downloads_new/raspberry-pi-3-3/
Or just plain raspbian, does multimedia very well out of the box.
BTW: what is the benefit of a 64bit system on a 1GB RAM machine? Apart from breaking most of the multimedia stuff and being dog slow compared to raspbian?
You should know better. 32bit limits the address space to 4 GB. 1 is exclusive to the kernel, leaves 3 to userland. Subtract code and data, and mmapping anything larger than 2 GB fails. Also, building software on 32 bit archs gets quite hard for more and more packages, as the linker runs out of memory. So you end up with less packages. ASLR on 32bit is mostly ineffective, due to the limited address space. Which multimedia stuff breaks due to 32bit? What exactly is slow? Or are you just ranting, like you do all the time? TW runs fine on x86_64 and on several different ARM SoCs. I have some Pine64 here, RPIs, an RK3399 STB. Raspbian would be able to run on one of these ...
