Just an update. All the myriad of YouTubers and diy folks building media PCs from their sbc all seem to forget to use one vital word. Consistency See if all your videos are Avi or MP4 (1 or thenother not a mix) and you have them all loaded on one drive connected to the device or gathered in a...

IME? is that HW, SW requirements? Thanks

Thanks PC thats one I havent tried, do you know what "powerful enough " is? Is a RPI4 string enough? do II need to go x86?

See for YEARS I had a full tower pc w/ lots of HD and a capture card plugged into my cable box for a dvr, than i started copying my DVDs when my DVD Jukebox got out of sync. But for the last 5 + years everyone is raving about Libreelec, and the like running off of Raspberry Pi's etc. Now I have...

Ok I have tried raspi4 and rockpi x and just not getting what I thought. For some reason I can't get the raspi4 loaded with libreelec to output to my tv. So I tried a small lcd and got no sound. Worse when I tried to view videos the quality was horrible. Stutter, smear, out of sync, you name...

BARK Thanks for the recommendation, that's what I was looking for, a brand someone has had good experience with. I have encountered fakes...ever ordered a 1TB SD card from wish.com? But these are all from good well known retailers and a brand name retail packaged card. However I think youre...

what you are looking for is called a LattePanda, they are available n AMAZON among others. but they are not cheap, when compared to a RPI. They come with Win10 installed, and you can but with or without an activated license. I bought one to experiment with and after 6 months still haven't...

OK, I have 4 RPI4's, I only recall order 2, so obviously Im Amazoning in my sleep again....... I had one of them 'low profiled' and thought there was a problem, then after a great deal of effort I found out it was fine. ANother I have in a desktop case and setup and its doing great. However...

Thanks, trust me if you saw my original post my who PC was losing its religion. It just startles me that there are so many different SOC and SOM devices out there in cell phones and even tablets, but no one is selling JUST the boards themselves. The RPI4 os pretty high on the list at the...

there is a "desktop kit" that came out 12-18 months ago that allows an M.2 connection I dont know the specifics of the connections, other than there is a GPIO Hat inclued that the M.2 sits upon I think i got it from newark.com

when you say "asus is almost 50% than the RPI" do you mean its 50% faster? slower? more expensive? Ive looked at that board since it came out and considered it, then thge RPI 4 came nd seems at least its equal if not superior, except in experience. The Tinkerboard seems to have a really good...

search youtbe for ETA PRIME, he addressed that a week or so ago and if I remember right found a pretty simple solution.

WOW proof that trying to ask serious tech questions on a phone while very very tired, is a BAD idea, for me, looking at that its like "English as a 6th language?" ANYWAY - the bottom line is this. The RASPI is a great board and a great price for what you get. However there appear to be, on...

Raspi is a great general purpose computer that can give you almost everything, but for good experience you want something with consistent power. Like if I want to build a real daily use tablet. I can find one of 3 types of rk3399 sbcs an there is A FEW boards with done "big/littles" CPu setups...

OK, so Im still working my way through what should NOT be an issue , I know but it is, heres what has happened: I remember from working on my desktop that all my usb drives eventually show up in /media/XXXX so I cd'd over to media did a sudo ls and low and behold: /media/Seagate Backup Plus...
