Raspberry Pi, a fun pie: Tenth quarter see Kodi, with Openelec

First, why Choose Openelec

RASPBMC the volume of large functions, the corresponding speed and performance to be weak; Openelec is a lite version, small size function, the corresponding speed and performance have been improved. This depends on our choice, if you like me with multiple sdcard to play Raspberry Pi, then use Openelec as a home Media Center is the most suitable.

It is small in size, please refer to the following:

Version 4.0.5:

Openelec-rpi.arm-4.0.5.img.gz 99.7M

Openelec-rpi.arm-4.0.5.img 164M

Version 5.0.0:

-rwxrwxrwx. 2 Linc Linc306184192Dec 06:41 openelec-rpi.arm-5.0.0.img
-rwxrwxrwx. 2 Linc Linc99263770Jan 3 17:56 openelec-rpi.arm-5.0.0.img.gz

Second, installation

or from the official website download relatively new, click here.

The installation process is similar to RASPBMC, I installed it directly on the sdcard of the original RASPBMC, the process is as follows:

Third, the use

The usage is the same as RASPBMC, it is Kodi.

Start

Here is still the default English, because the choice of Simplified Chinese, are garbled. Can be changed into Chinese in the settings, refer to RASPBMC.

Host Name

SSH is important, select on. SMB is selected by default.

What is the default user name and password for SSH?

Username:root

Password:openelec

Very low CPU usage and fast response times

Network settings, connecting to WiFi
