The downside of that project is that it only works for a dedicated HTPC running for example Kodi (XBMC).īut what if I’d like to see this with video from my XBox 360, XBox One, Wii, or … Blu-ray player or cable box?īesides the fact that we need to grab this video, and all it’s technical complications, we will be running into a copy protection issue called HDCP, a HDMI feature nobody really asked for.

You may think that almost 300 films stored on a NAS may take some time to load but no, 30 seconds and you’re watching your content in all its high def goodness.I’ve been playing with ambient light for my TV for a while now, as you can see in the “ Ambient TV lighting with XBMC Boblight, OpenElec and WS2811/WS2812 LEDs“, to make colorful lights (LEDs) light up matching the video you’re seeing on your TV. Going through various different add-ons that had streams to find a working one took almost as long as the fight itself, but once found the raspberry pi took it all in its stride, and it’s not just streams either, playing local media is just as quick.
I currently have 22 add-ons on my living room based raspberry pi 3, yet it loads every one of them in a snap, sometimes it takes longer to find a working stream than it does to actually load and play it, The Anthony Joshua fight from Saturday Night a perfect example.
There’s plenty of choice now, Openelec, Libre elec, OSMC to name a few, I use Openelec, whilst its development is slightly slower, 15.2 Isengard being the last stable release, it does everything I ask of it with ease. Once past the initial setup, which for the novice could be confusing, it’s back to the friendly blue bubbles of Kodi. At just under £60 including the case it’s cheap to.

Android boxes suffer a similar issue, Kodi is an app meaning that android is still there sitting in the background using up ram, taking up space. I went in search of a better solution, scouring the internet tempted by the idea of fully loaded boxes readily available on eBay, but android boxes have a similar problem to a pc, one that I’ve not yet mentioned, on a pc you still have windows running in the background, taking up resources, using valuable ram, wanting to restart because its downloaded “important” updates that you’re not interested in when trying to watch the latest episode of Game of Thrones.

Plus it was too big, sitting in the corner of the room like a big out of place lump, and my biggest issue? Using a keyboard and mouse! On a laptop this is slightly less of a problem but for some reason with a desktop it just felt clumsy. To an extent it was overkill, sure it was responsive but with fans keeping the case cool it made too much background noise not ideally suited to a home theatre setup. Good Afternoon Folks, as this is Best for Kodi, I thought I’d take the opportunity to write a piece on hardware more specifically the Raspberry Pi.īack when I first got into using Kodi towards the end of 2014 going into 2015 my main pc was weapon of choice, a water-cooled Intel i3, paired with 16gb of ram and 3.5tb of storage, this certainly on paper at least should be the ideal playground for Kodi. Good afternoon all, This blog takes a look at Raspberry Pi and Kodi, Perfect combination? Is this little pocket rocket an option for you?
