• Raspberry Pi 5

  - Two LibreELEC (https://libreelec.tv/) mediaplayers in house (yes, one is not enough in my big family). - One for hosting low usage applications at home network (Unifi controller and some more). - Octoprint (https://octoprint.org) connected to the 3d-printer. - One on my desk for hardware hacking – mostly as just a PC with GPIO. - Some Raspberry Pi Zeros as security cameras. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Looking for a distro to replace Roku Stick

  I'm aware of solutions such as LibreELEC but that (if I understand it) is just a Kodi thing. Source: 11 months ago

• Watch Jellyfin content on non-smart TV

  Kodi is a media client as it provides a UI for you to browse, search for and view media. I have it running on my Raspberry Pi as LibreELEC. It connects to the same media sources that Jellyfin uses via SFTP. They support the same scrappers and folder structures so they can share the same media sources. If you're not adamant about using Jellyfin on the Raspberry Pi, this could be an option. Source: 12 months ago

• Does anyone know why Kodi will not continuously run on a windows 11 machine?

  Thats not a Kodi issue... It is a Windows and hardware issue... If the only job of the pc is Kodi then use LibreELEC's Kodi... 1000 times better! https://libreelec.tv/. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ready-made server

  I'd install an OS that boots directly into Kodi. Something like LibreELEC. Then load the home videos on the SD card. Then setup library (basically point to the media and use local metadata as the scraper). Source: about 1 year ago

• Moving from ReadyNAS Pro 6 to Synology DS1621+

  I'm still learning about the cache drive options-- my typical use of the NAS will be to backup some desktop / laptop computers, stream MP3s or play MP3s via SAMBA shares on my LibreELEC Raspberry Pi, occasionally watch some family mobile phone videos (h.265), and possibly run some VMs to practice some coding-- Would I benefit from installing NVME Cache disks at all? Even at the recommended minimum of 2.5% of my... Source: about 1 year ago

• The 9 Best Dumb TVs Without Smart Features

  I was an early "cord cutter" so I had to learn out of necessity. Started out on a Windows media center with TV tuner card, then moved on to a few different android boxes and now I'm on the Raspberry Pie which is by far the cheapest, smallest, and most stable. Start here. Source: over 1 year ago

• Watching TV in the evening, but everything is so bloody dark and 'atmospheric' half the time I'm just sat there watching a reflection of a fat bloke sat on my sofa with a weird soundtrack.

  I mentioned using LibreElec (a few times) in my earlier post mainly because I prefer to view videos on a larger screen* plus it has the advantage of not tying up my computer and as already mentioned, the YouTube ad-on doesn't show ads but you don't have to use LibreElec to make use of the media application that LibreElec uses which is called Kodi as that exists as an application in its own right and can be...

• Open source PVR thoughts: Tvheadend vs. MythTV vs. Jellyfin vs. others?

  Correction, yes there is support for OTA & EPG, but I'm still using mine currently with a cablecard setup and the HDHomeRun Prime. I am here browsing options to cutting the cable. If used in an OTA fashion you can live without SchedulesDirect. I'm not a fan of any sort of subscription, but Schedules Direct did provide good value for the service. It was a huge hassle with verizon fios sorting the HD channels... Source: over 1 year ago
