# Any options you usually use with the "-o" parameter in the mount command # so XBMC has access to this mounts from beginning. # usually we mount networks shares because we want they avaible *before* XBMC starts. # can not mount and this scripts fails too # our scripts must start *after* 'rvice', on timeout and if 'rvice' fails we # if we do network mounts like here we *require* 'rvice' which checks if the network is online As the next step we will mount our media (in my case all media resides on a Synology NAS with IP 172.16.0.97 – adjust the below accordingly) by creating mount-files in /storage/.config/system.d/:

Once you have completed the installation process, open up a terminal session to your Xtreamer via ssh -l root (the password is librelec). I first started off with the installation of the Krypton release of LibreElec which was as simple as downloading the USB creator tool and then writing the image to flash disk ( follow this to boot the Xtreamer into BIOS).

Standard PC remotes work well, and there are various apps available for iOS and Android that connect via HTTP for remote control functions.Since I recently replaced my Xtreamer Ultra 2 with a shiny Xtreamer Wonder Pro (warning: do not get the WonderPro, as Xtreamer has locked down firmwares, and you will not be able to upgrade to anything else), I decided to repurpose my Xtreamer Ultra 2 as a dedicated Plex Media Server with PlexPass to provide media across the house for everyone:įor the first part of the installation it is best to have the Xtreamer Ultra 2 connected to a TV.

Kodi/XBMC/OpenElec are pretty good at working with most things and if the TV supports CEC you may not need one anyway. This has everything you need, the only thing you may want to look at is a remote control. If the price point fits for you, this looks like a good bundle, especially with the heatsinks included. Wow, the price of these is actually higher in the USA than the UK for once. What do you think Jeremy748 and Dave Murray HTE?ĭoes anyone else have any thoughts to add? The price of those last items, on their own, appears to add up to about the same as this kit. I'm not sure if I have a micro SD card that I'm not using, ether. I don't need the WiFi or HDMI cable, but I do need the base unit, power adapter and case.
This looks like it has more than I need, but at the price I'm not sure it matters. So the pi doesn't include power? Did you mean an HDMI cable? Choice add-ons. Throw in some choice add-ons and cut the cord if not done so already It will pulls files off pretty much anything you've got setup, has the onboard Ethernet you desire and can be left running 24x7 I personally prefer the OpenElec build as it is dedicated to Kodi, but any distro with Kodi will have the same result. You'll mostly have half the bits need knocking around already (microSD, USB PSU, HDMI etc) so for the cost of the board and a case, you'll be running. Other than knowing they exist, I haven't really paid any attention to them.Īnother one for getting a Pi setup. i had so many problems with my wd live, but i love the pi, it just works. I hadn't even thought of using a pi. pretty cheap to purchase the pi, plenty of guides for throwing whatever OS you want on a memory card and booting to it.
I replaced my wd live with a raspberry pi running raspbmc (now OSMC). Personally, I prefer the feel of a dedicated unit with its own remote control, so the WDLive was given a decent run to prove itself, but in the end, I found it too laggy and difficult to navigate when it comes to streaming media from network sources. I've tried a few others, over the last few years, from home built Rasberry Pi powered units to cheap Noontech players, to WDLive and Plex serving from the NAS, also playing directly from a PC connected to my TV. probably voided my warranty at the same time, but it's been working fine ever since. Robust subtitles support is also something worth noting.ĭepending on your placement, the fan can be a tad louder than desired, I had one of mine inside a cabinet, so don't hear it at all, but the other unit was loud enough to notice during silences, so I replaced the fan with a lower RPM model. Compared to the WDLive, they are more stable, responsive and have IMHO have a better media library interface. I have 2 units (a Xtreamer Pro and a very very old Sidewinder) which I'm quite happy with. I'd recommend checking out the Xtreamer range.
