A 500 GB solid state drive runs much faster as an option, lad. That is what I do!

[@PK_Mega_Awesome]

wow that RT article, accidentally captured a moment in history there

I have one i put Batocera on plays retro games and has Kodi built in!

[@tg4949]

Great video. I don't watch youtuber influencer types so I'm confused by all the wild flailing and screaming that guy is doing, but it must work for some people I guess. Odd.

[@Robert08010]

That's ok, it probably just means you're smarter than average.

[@debeeriz]

can you still have adblockers for youtube with this build

[@DayOfCasual]

They might be coming from KODI itself. Worth to check there.

[@Kotdt1]

Great video

I have a really old PC but I only want to run music on it so I might do this anyway. Does the system HD need to have an OS if youre just going to boot from the thumb anyways?

How do play in 432 hz

Is this running from usb only? I have an old pc I wanted to use and have put Win 10 on it but did not want to remove the Win 10.

[@tshepp89]

In the video he installs to and runs from the USB drive only, with the 'run' option. If you input 'installer' instead, it would install to the HDD and wipe your windows 10.

Hi there can we use a old ssd 64gb as a boot drive instead of usb stick

[@TechFigure]

Yes you can

I would hesitate to depend on NAND memory devices, I've had too many failures with both SD and thumbdrives*, CF cards are more durable but have fallen out of favour due to higher cost, despite better performance. NAND memory wasn't designed for heavy daily reads and writes. That's why many dash cam companies encourage the use of "Endurance" microSDs. Though they too will break down eventually . Best to use a conventional HDD or SSD. *From heavy use of browsers daily with PortableApps suite*. Now I keep it on a regular 2.5 inch Laptop HDD in the desktop machine and just copy to a thumbdrive when I need to go mobile.

[@jstn3633]

So you installed LibreElec on the HDD and boot up from that?

[@LiniutaSan]

mine stuck at a underscore :/

[@a.k.gaming5595]

[@MrQ454]

a PC with HDMI is better for a Media Center/HTPC!

[@articeddie5494]

How did you connect this to your TV ? No HDMI port ?

[@TechFigure]

Bought a connector off amazon gives me 4k 👍

[@danielhorne6042]

@@TechFigure bet it lags due to not having a powerful gpu when playing full 4k movies lol
