After my original RaspberryPi which was used for a media centre running OpenELEC died, I've gotten a new Pi and installed Raspbmc on it. Although it did what it said on the box, and I am appreciative for the work done by that team, going back to OpenELEC today was particularly nice. Usually I like to customize my linux machines, but with media centres, I'm more than happy to take something pretty much stock, and just use it.
I downloaded the 5.0 image (which I didn't realise was only just released), dd'ed it to my SD card, booted the pi, and then ran the first run wizard (pretty much clicking next on everything except the dhcp config).
Quick, easy, and enjoyable. Thanks to everyone for all your hard work making this distro.
- tracker1 12y agoI used a Cubox-i4pro for a while with OpenELEC and it was nice enough (some 1080p content wasn't smooth) when it didn't lock up. It worked well enough while the PSU in my htpc was dead. I haven't redone it since the sd card self-wiped. I haven't really looked at it since. It was a nice option, and there still isn't a good Ubuntu experience on the device, so it sits unused at the moment.
