• Rokid Max Review and Many Tips

  The requirement is that your stereoscopic 3D content be in side-by-side (SBS) mode, which for movies means that they must either be already encoded as such, or that you are using a video player (like PotPlayer for PC) that can decode packed 3D (BluRay) content to SBS. Source: 9 months ago

• Best video player to play .ts files?

  Any of the top video players like vlc or potplayer should work. If either fails, the .ts file may be encrypted. Source: 11 months ago

• Is there something like "network attached monitor"

  The devices had a small daemon that would periodically send HTTP requests to the central web service and check if it needed to update the content it was displaying and would update content accordingly. The content was displayed through OSMC. Source: about 1 year ago

• Pay me the buying power to afford the things you got at my age, and maybe then I'll buy these things...

  Downstairs is a Raspberry PI hooked to large hard drive (8TB). That runs OSMC and provides network access for all computers/phones in the house while being hooked up to the living room TV. The IPTV can run through it but I just watch that on my computer. Source: over 1 year ago

• one day my friend

  Just put osmc on it and use it as media center. Depending on your hardware it can be pretty solid. And there is a lot you can configure. it's basically an os which boots direcly to kodi. Also it supports hdmi-cec so you can use your normal tv remote, it's awesome. Source: over 1 year ago

• Plexamp v4.2.2 Released

  I have heard good stuff about https://osmc.tv/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can someone suggest a Smart TV like distro?

  From what I know there aren't many options for this use case, and those that I know of (like OSMC or Plasma Bigscreen) all run on ARM devices like Raspberry Pi, but not x86/64. I would recommend the same as other commenters: to just use a normal distribution and put something like Kodi on it. You could probably configure the system to automatically start up whatever UI you prefer to make it more seamless. Source: about 2 years ago
