Raspberry Pi Official Kodi Wiki. The Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi 23 and Raspberry Pi Zero are a series of ARM powered, credit card sized single board computers developer boards made in the UK by the non profit Raspberry Pi Foundation organization for educational and hobbyist purposes. These low power computers are mass produced at very low prices and the high number of units sold gives it massive community support. As Kodi HTPC, all Raspberry Pis support full 1. Full HD video playback of the most commonly used codecs, most if not all Kodi add ons, and have reasonably responsive GUI performance. Everyone knows and loves Raspberry Pi, but what if you didnt need additional peripherals to make it wireless. The Raspberry Pi 3 is here to provide you wi. This videos shows you how to connect to a Raspberry Pi using PuTTY on Windows and executing some basic Linux commands on the Raspberry Pi port for ssh 22. Installing Kodi Easy Kodi centric distributions. Advanced can be used with Kodi. Raspbian Up to date versions Currently Krypton 1. Kodi are now on the default Raspbian repositories. See full guide here. Frequently Asked Questions See Raspberry Pi FAQ3 Maximizing performance Note Some of these tweaks are more aimed at the Pi 1 CPUs A, B, A, B, Compute Module, Zero as they only have a slow single core CPU. Raspberry Pi 23 probably doesnt need some of these tweaks to run Kodi really well, but it also wont hurt anything, if you really want to push things to their limit. Avoid heavy skins and lots of service type add ons that run in the background. Turn off RSS feeds and any scrolling text options for your skin. Depending on the skintext, this can really boost a Pi 1, sometimes even a Pi 23. Use an SD card with good rewrite speeds. The class of the SD card doesnt always mean it will be better, as that speed classification is for sustained reading and writing, whereas for Kodi, random readwrite speeds are more important. You can also try a combination of SD and fast USB drive for your Kodi install, but with the recent software improvements even just using a good SD card is about as fast as using a fast USB drive. Avoid using wifi. If you do use wifi, use a wifi adapter that contains two antennae internal or external that advertises 3. ClaimBitcoin is the Bitcoin generator that everyone has been waiting for. Currently it is the only working Bitcoin generator out there, and at the moment it can.

Otherwise, stick to wired ethernet, local USB drives, or ethernet over power devices like Homeplug. Try using NFS file shares instead of SMB file shares. Overclock. Most Pis can handle a significant overclock, as long as they have a good power supply. There is no universal setting that will work for everyone except for the default speed that you get without overclocking. Try various overclocking settings and run Kodi for a while to see if its stable. How To Install Arch Linux On Raspberry Pi 2 Windows' title='How To Install Arch Linux On Raspberry Pi 2 Windows' />If one group of overclocking settings causes crashes, try a group of lower settings. Note Overclocking is pretty important for the Raspberry Pi 1 A, B, A, B and Zero, but much less so on the Pi 23 due to the multiple CPU cores as well as increased speed per core. How To Install Arch Linux On Raspberry Pi 2 Windows' title='How To Install Arch Linux On Raspberry Pi 2 Windows' />You can still overclock the Pi 2 if you really want to, but for most users it makes little difference. By default, Extract thumbnail and video information in file lists settings is disabled on the Pi, improving browsing performance. For smoother video playback, enable Adjust display refresh rate to match video in playback settings When using dvdplayer, Sync playback to display and adjust PLL for sync method are recommended see playback settings. Make sure the video is using H. High Profile Hi. P will not work, or MPEG 4, or, if additional codecs have been enabled, MPEG 2 or VC 1. Passthrough is recommended as it lowers CPU usage for DTS and AC3. Use audio passthrough if your TVreceiver supports it. To determine which audio passthrough formats your HDMI connected TV supports, you can log in via SSH and run this command optvcbintvservice a on Libre. ELEC tvservice a. For locally connected drives containing videos and music, the filesystem can have an impact on read and write speeds. NTFS for example tends to be much slower on any Linux based system than the more native ext. If you use My. SQL, you will want to make sure that your images are pre cached using the Texture Cache Maintenance utility tool. Local libraries typically dont need this as their images are cached when videos are scanned in. Using My. SQL can improve performance as the database queries are handled by another machine. Organizing your movies in single folders for each movie, rather than all movies in one folder, is recommended. The individual folders reduce the time it takes for Kodi to look for supporting media like external subtitles, which makes browsing, scanning and starting playback a little faster. You might also want to consider pre scraping the meta data using a Library manager to reduce the time it takes to scan in both movies and TV shows. Remote controls GPIO IR receiver. Dont have a CEC TV or a smartphone remote For less than a dollareuro, you can add an IR receiver to your Raspberry Pi that works with most MCE and Apple remotes and a few others. Most Kodi install options for the Pi should work with the GPIO IR out of the box, or by enabling a setting from within Kodi. Go to a local electronics store or search on e. Bay for TSOP4. 83. We need a link to a good, up to date GPIO IR guide. Most of the links I found are outdated and contain instructions for additional configurations that are no longer required. If you find a good linkguide, please add it to the wiki. If you are using Libre. ELEC, just add this to your config. The default GPIO pin used is 1. This can be changed by using the following. Where pin1. 8 would be changed to whatever GPIO pin number you would rather use. If you are using OSMC, your remote will probably work out of the box. If it doesnt, go to My OSMC Remotes and select your desired remote. There is also an official OSMC remote which also works on other distributions. CECIf your TV supports CEC, you should be able to use the remote control that came with your TV to control Kodi. The remote control signals are sent over the HDMI cable and most often dont require any further settings or configuration. MCE remotes. Various MCE USB receivers and remotes will work on the Pi. Keyboards and mice. Any keyboard such as wired, wireless, bluetooth. This includes remotes that are seen as keyboards, such as Rii remotes, the Mele F1. Pro remote, or the very awesome Flirc. Smartphonetablet remotes. Use your smartphone or tablet as a remote control. Web interfaces. Control Kodi from anything that has a web browser.
