  • Ok here’s what I do … but be aware that I’ve had this same set for about 10 years so I’m sure everyone will bag on it but it works. On my main HTPC (the living room 60" screen) I have run Ubuntu as the background OS and auto open Kodi with the Confluence skin. I’ve added a few add on’s for streaming and an add on that spans a Steam instance in Big Picture for my steam games and an add on for Lutris for other games. Lutris takes a bit of fiddling with to get it to run your games (a lot of set up scripts and downloading runners for emulators, but nothing to bad). I added a MCE remote and a IR receiver to move around in Kodi and attached a couple of Xbox Bluetooth controllers for gaming. I boosted my set up by moving my Kodi database on to my server with mySQL so that the librelec’s running in the bedrooms all share the same database but that’s a fancy touch that took a hour or so of set up that you don’t need to do.







  • I’m kinda of lost with this. I run 3 librelec units on RaspberryPis velcroed to the back of TVs in my house and once I set them up they run easy as. I set them by setting what my network folders are ( I’m a bit of a data hoarder so I’ve got each tv series in their own folders and each movie and their filled in its own folders) and then hitting scan. Is it because of Jellyfin that you’re having problems? I tried setting it up but gave up when I realised I’d have to let it be a server and frankly I don’t trust my in-laws not to fuck up and post all my details on their Facebook to show off their new personalise steaming services.











  • Just ripped through The Recruit season one to be ready for season two Light and breezy spy drama which I got to say is fun and just serious enough to be worth watching Aside from that I decided to hit the wayback and watch the first season of Columbo Fuck the late 60 were a time! And Peter Faulk was a serious star from the start I’m really digging it As the first season was all ‘movie of the week’s it’s nice seeing a whole story in a tight 90 minutes that still feels full



  • I really enjoyed Flow a lot more than I expected The soundtrack and plotting were evocative I just had a problem with the animation, the idea were great, the design was good, the animals all felt real, but it felt like it needed to be run through the renderer a couple more times Everything was bit flat and the lighting seemed a little off and it didn’t feel like that was the look they were going for, just that they didn’t have a big enough budget I’m looking forward to see what’s next from the production team though.
