What psu is it?

It's the power adapter that came with this Plugable powered USB hub:

So anyone using the new Rasberry 2 for XBMC? Is it a good viable solution?

Been using one since release, much snappier through the menus than the Pi Model B it replaced

Agreed, the first one worked, but I found it was always being maxed out, certain videos wouldn't play.

Pi2 is vastly better though.

Ok, my pi has been running for 6 days now without issue, so putting a y USB cable in there and powering the disk via its own power looks to have settled it. Only time will tell, but originally, the disk was running fine for ages without issue, but for someone reason the last couple of weeks it had been playing up, but now it is back to normal with the its own power, so fingers crossed. Might we work giving it a try. I know some powered hubs aren't that brilliant (according to the PI forums).

Ok, so an updated. looks like my issues have been resolved. Ive not had any down time on the disk since I put a y USB cable in for my HDD so that I could power the disk straight from the wall socket (well power bar extension that has 2 USB sockets on it).

Anyones pi sometimes lose audio sync? mine occasionally does especially on youtube and a reboot fixes it.

Anyone know a good OSMC m3u list for live TV?

Just bought myself a pi 2, looking to run Rasplex on it. Be nice to be able to leave a media player player on that uses very little power

I use my pi to run a plex server and use my smart tv plex app to access it.

My only issue is pauses on larger files. I have a 15GB .MKV that pauses every 15-20 seconds or so. Other files that are around 4gb play flawless. Haven't tried anything in between!

I have the pi running a plex server, everything is stored on a USB drive that is connected to a powered usb hub and to the Pi.

My HDD is a usb2 seagate freeagent goflex 250gb mounted using samba.

My tv which runs the plex app is samsung ue55h6400 connected via the build in wifi.

The Pi is wired to the network.

i have no knowledge of coding what so ever and followed guides for everything.

What could be causing this pausing?


Thanks.

You're possibly reaching the limit of the network controller, it's only 100Mbit, so absolute max speed is 12.5MB/s

You could also be reaching the limit of your wireless network, cable up the TV and see if that helps.

If not..

Buy a Synology NAS and use that as the server.

USB DAC for HD AUDIO

Pi2 has not got HD AUDIO output.
What about not very expensive USB DAC?
Thanks all.
PS I know one with **** for 50 pounds

Anyone know a good OSMC m3u list for live TV?

Any luck with this?

 

[Quinnaay]

I still have no idea why every couple of days my audio goes out of sync and is infront of the picture until a reboot fixes it.

Which OS?

 

[dalehitchy1]

Has anyone got the image that dual boots openelec and reboots to retropie.

The drop box link keeps saying it has been disabled. Just bought a pi 2 and wouldn't mind downloading something like this ready for when its delivered

 

[Quinnaay]

Which OS?

Openelec

 

[Longbow]

I use OSMC and I've noticed over the past 3 or so weeks that playing videos results in no audio for the first second or two, it's more obvious with sending Youtube videos to Kodi.

Who knows bluetooth usb adapter for pi 2?
For speakers support.
Thanks everybody.

 

[AHarvey]

anyone doing anything different with their pi?

I've had one for quite a while now, model B and other than a basic games emulator and openelec i've not really done a lot with it and looking for a little inspiration to start tinkering. Need a decent USB wifi adapter, the one I have is old and a little pants!
