Foreword KODI (not Mi-Ohio) has been introduced in many forums. In the era when the box has not yet appeared, XMBC (formerly known as KODI) on the PC is very popular as an HTPC. The tutorial on the network is a bit messy. Tossing KODI for many years to share experiences. System setup basic hardware 46-inch old TV, Sony Dafa is good. Old computers, agricultural enterprises pressed the product of toothpaste factory. Run kodi smoothly. Old Huang family entry God pit card GF6200. The old yellow family GF 6 generation is a semi-hard solution, and to the GF 8 generation is the full hard solution. Due to the low CPU performance, hard solutions can only be used to view 1080p. Using DXVAChecker can easily see the format that your PC can hard-drive. DXVAChecker shows 4k can hard solution. The 754 platform AGP interface is restrictive and has insufficient bandwidth to support 4K. The code rate is also limited, 12m of blue light is hopeless, 1080p below 10m can also be a war. Use ffmpeg to transcode to video that supports hard solutions to play 1080p. The GUI software I use is ffmpegyag, which is relatively simple and practical. Personal parameters are for reference only. Grandma is a foreign rubbish E5 group, 10gb video transcoding is also ten minutes of things Independent sound card Independent sound card is practically optional.

I am using Lenovo IdeaCentre A600 Bluetooth MCE remote control, 50 yuan received OEM spare parts. MCE remote control is more infrared, the price of about 20 to 50. Intel NUC comes with infrared remote control. Lenovo's remote control also has a flying mouse function. Press and hold the middle mouse button to enable it. There are somatosensory functions, vibration feedback. In Lenovo English official website can be downloaded to the original machine adaptation somatosensory games. 3Dijoy's cottage will game is now finished. AdvancedMCEMapperTool can modify the MCE remote control settings. Infrared models require Microsoft eHome Infrared Transceiver to work properly. (Software please go to gitub search) I generally change the green mce key to win key. MCE remote control _ Taobao search s.taobao.com direct link phone remote control Do not intend to buy remote control, mobile phone APP control is also a good choice. Android/IOS platforms all have IOS platform features that do not have many desks. Because of Google's market problems, everyone can go to websites like Coolon to download. The software side can automatically search for connections. Right slide with options. NAS combines HTPC Combining HTPC with NAS is what I think is the most embarrassing.

Kodi also has a lot of great skin, such as imitation SONY Xperia-style Bell (does not support the mouse). AEON MQ7 full of science and technology (plug-in more, more resources to eat). I still prefer the original skin, beautiful and save resources. Same screen function Kodi supports airplay and DLNA. Located in Settings - Services. Set as shown.

In addition, the Chinese plug-in package developed by HDP is also good. System - Plugin - Library - chinese add-ons There are many plug-ins in the list, personal favorite b station plug-in, but unfortunately can not login account. Support subtitles, barrage. Manage movie downloads Kodi supports uTorrent management features. System - Plug-in - Start uTorrent plugin. Note that uTorrent's WebUI and Token authentication needs to be enabled in uTorrent. Entering the uTorrent username and password in the plug-in settings interface will make perfect use. The ip address is local 127.0.0.1. As for the search for seeds, I know everyone in the comments will add. Media library creation Scraper in the more complete IMDB, AniDB on the Japanese Man and other support is good. Domestic generally use time network or watercress. The media library I use is a bean-scraper. System - Plugin - Start douban plugin. Video - File - Right-click content settings. The scraper was selected as douban. In this way, KODI will use the watercress scraper to search for information and display the movie related information interface. Sometimes the recognition is not good, you need to press the information page refresh - manual search in the pop-up animation box to enter the movie name Caixing. After setting the home page, you can display the movie preview. to sum up Toss about to lie down to enjoy the movie. The old computer as a HTPC is a good choice, but unfortunately everyone is eager to buy an Android box, and people like me are not much torment.
