Kodi media server from spare bits and Pi 2

<< < (2/2)

Ond:
@ SlammedNiss - Nice little DIY Plex box,  I love DIY projects that make use of stuff you have spare or salvaged from somewhere.  I know what you mean by "overbuilt" media server.  A full PC in a regular case is cumbersome for this purpose.

@ jdbailey1206 - Agreed, the size and small power draw especially of a Pi make these really useful for media servers.

@ FTFY numptys - donkey porn should only be played on a 50'000 watt system or GTFO.

The LibreELEC Linux build is really light, as it says "just enough OS to run LibreELEC" on a Pi.  Whilst it is possible to Wi-Fi network to a media share, playback using this method is not optimal with some choppy playback.  A USB cabled HDD is much better with HDMI straight to my TV.  I use pass-through audio to my TV as well, to take the processing load off the Pi.  I notice things like lip sync issues which really bug me.  The Apple TV 2 always struggled with Lip Sync problems, but this setup is spot on.

FTFBYA.

Ond - I didn't use a Pi.  I used a Nvidia Shield with a Western Digital USB drive attached.  It also draws little power and it can play roms, stream plex, Amazon Prime, Netflix and donkey porn.
