It's 4k, all bells and whistles and with Kodi and Emby for Kodi, it's a perfect Emby client.
FLIRC OPENELEC PLUS
Why not just go with Nvidia Shield TV ($200) and run Kodi on it? You get Kodi plus all the other apps (netflix, pandora, crackle, etc etc), and acts as a front-end gaming machine as well. but some people don't seem to care or notice. I only every use openelec on x86_64 hardware because like I said, I've never seen ARM hardware run without dropping a frame somewhere in the kodi GUI. from there Emby passes kodi everything it needs to know (the NFS paths to all my files). Thanks guys!I just set the emby IP, and user in the add-on. Their site seems to spell out their specification better, but wondering if the few below would cover the same. It is running the Rockchip RK3288 (Quad Core Cortex-A17 up to 1.8GHz) and the Quad-core Mali T764 3D GPU. I'd like to future-proof my set up a bit for Ultra HD Blu Ray and 3D Blu Ray, and like the specifications that it says it supports: BD-ISO, 3D BD-ISO.
FLIRC OPENELEC INSTALL
I've found a couple other devices that are running the newer Rockchip RK3368 (64bits Big.little architecture, Octa-Core Cortex-A53, up to 1.5GHz) with PowerVR SGX6110 GPU, although it seems the RK3288 may be a bit faster performance wise(?):ĭo any of these look like a good option for meeting potential Ultra HD blu ray and 3D Blu Ray direct streaming?Īre any of these an option to purchase and then somehow install and run OpenElec on them? Would this be better than Android? I really like the OpenElec option, or would Kodi run just as fine over Android and possibly provide me additional features on these boxes?
It is running the Rockchip RK3288 (Quad Core Cortex-A17 up to 1.8GHz) and the Quad-core Mali T764 3D GPU. Josh - when you noted you do exactly that, was that with defining paths in the emby server.I take it I will need to do that as well?Īlso, do you guys recommend I build my own (similiar to your setup Josh), or possibly some of the items that are commercially available? Here are a few options I've found: Vidman and Josh, thanks for the responses on - what is thedifference between "direct stream locally" and "direct play"? My apologies for my lack of knowledge with all this. or should I build my own?ĥ) If I'm interested in slinging my browser from a laptop to TV Screen, should I be looking at an Apple TV to install OpenElec for the AirPlay feature, or would one of the above systems work better with Chromecast?Īny thoughts or guidance on this would be much appreciated! I'd love to hear about anyone's experience with any of these systems. Do I buy a prebuilt OpenElec system (one of many that lists - acemax, wetek, intel next unit of computing kit, ZOTAK, etc?). Will this type of HTPC work?Ĥ) What is recommended for the HTPC. mkv files that suport 4K viewing (Blu Ray Ultra HD). mkv files to my TV without the need to transcode the media on the NAS first?ģ) I want to future proof this system a bit and ensure I can stream. So with all of that I have a few questions:Ģ) If I go with an OpenElec HTPC, will this allow me to direct stream. I would then intall the Emby add-on within the Kodi client and connect to the Emby media server on the NAS.
FLIRC OPENELEC PC
From there I've learned that I could then run OpenElec on a home theater PC that is built to run the Kodi the client. After continuing reading up on all the different options, I think I'vd settled on wanting to install the Emby Media Server onto a jail on a FreeNAS NAS. I am continuing my research into an appropriate setup for streaming movies from a NAS (planning on building a FreeNAS NAS) to my TV screen.
