Hi, not sure if this is the right palce to post this so moderators please move this into proper palce if needed.
my question(s) is/are as folows:
what can you recomend for OS to run Kodi on a side for OpenElec.
also a pointer to a good tutorial on how to set it up will be very helpfull.
I am contemplating to build out a Rasbery Pi streamer based on openElec+Kody for my second TV
but not sure if that setup is enough for my primamry TV needs.
I have an HTPC build out on Linux Mint 16 Cinamon
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 820 Processor
RAM: 8GB
HD: 120GB SSD
Video is Radeon HD 6400 (not 100% sure if this is right though)
all this is not very HTPC friendly as it is (I did try to setup XBMC lastyear but it would not work properly.)
also no remote control, keyboard only.
my plan is to get Flirc dungle for remote controll.
and revuild the machine with new OS and Kodi. but I want to be able to surf the web as well so some desktop is needed that I can drop to from Kodi when needed. most of it will be Kodi UI.
I have file server with all my movies and videos and music.
maybe a live TV plugin and YouTube plugin.
Possible move to CableCard netowork HomeRun tunner next year or year after that.
thanks.
