Kodi Media Player Options with 3D MVC & HD Audio
(2015-11-05, 23:53)hdmkv Wrote: Not really... it's fairly straightforward:

  1. Buy a kit like this. Essential parts are Pi2 board, power supply, and mSD card (8GB is enough).
  2. Have a keyboard/mouse combo (like Logitech K400) and/or an IR receiver (like this or Flirc).
  3. Download OpenELEC (here, scroll down) for disk image file.
  4. Write image to mSD using Disk Imager (or similar) tool.
  5. Put mSD card into Pi2, connect to your TV/projector, and power on.
  6. Follow on-screen instructions for initial OpenELEC set-up.
  7. In Kodi settings, toggle to 'Expert' mode to show all options. Under Videos > Playback, enable 'Adjust display refresh rate to match video', but leave 'Sync playback to display' disabled. Under Acceleration, enable 'Use Full HD HDMI modes for 3D'. Finally, to get 5.1 and 7.1 Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD MA decoded and sent to your AVR as uncompressed PCM, under Audio output, disable 'Enable passthrough' option, and set 'Number of channels' to 5.1 or 7.1 (whatever you have).
  8. (Recommended) To upgrade to the latest Kodi 16 build, get here. This is if you want 3D ISO (in addition to MVC MKV). Find your RPi2 on your PC's network, then copy over the .tar file to your Pi's 'Update' folder. After you reboot, the update will be applied,
  9. All done; enjoy your Pi2 Smile.

2. I would use an IR receiver (LIKE THIS) and a remote like the XBOX ONE MEDIA REMOTE. The remote is illuminated and has all keys you need.
8. I think mvc mkv is better at the moment because some ISOs can make problems.

@hdmkv: How about a changelog about the changes you made to the chart? Wink
