[–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Why’d you choose that over the pi+plex? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pfaca@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I'm using pi+libreelec+kodi. Why kodi over plex? No special reasons, kodi does everything I need and with the addons support it gives me a lot of options(torrents+streaming). Have been using kodi since it was called xbmc in the OG xbox modding scene. Never used Plex, so I just went with what I knew. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Ohhhh I had xbmc like a decade ago, before I gave up on the aye matey lifestyle, so I’ll probably choose that over plex as well. Thanks for the info. I’m looking up libreelec now, but I was just assuming it was some other hardware solution in my last comment. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pfaca@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) I had xbmc like a decade ago, before I gave up on the aye matey lifestyle Same thing here. I was just assuming it was some other hardware solution Yeah I though so. LibreELEC is a Linux distro with just enough OS to run kodi. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ericisshort@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Thanks, one last question… What rpi do you recommend? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pfaca@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago I'm using a rpi4 model B 4GB. Works pretty well for my needs. At least until now I don't feel like it's underpowered. It plays 4K video from my main PC with no problems or stuttering. But I mainly use it for 1080p. permalink fedilink source parent
