Turn a Raspberry Pi into an Awesome Media Center Using OSMC

In this video, I show you how to turn a Raspberry Pi 1 2 3 3b + into an awesome Media center using OSMC!
OSMC is a super lightweight line bistro with a custom version of Kodi installed. SO if you're interested in runny Kodi on your raspberry pi lets get started!

OSMC gave new life to my old RPi 2. I use it for retro cartoons, 80s/90s shows, etc on my B&O CRT via composite. It's a real time travel :)

I have 2 osmc raspberries, one for living room and one for bedroom...
And i have media server with NFS (network file storage) and MariaDB (sql database)...

Something really cool happens when you make both kodis point to the same database.

I can stop a video in the living room and continue watching it the bedroom.
That's my favorite feature :)

Edit: Forgot to mention. i've had this setup for 2 years now... and probably wont be changing it any time soon :)

Not kidding, I am going to build these as christmas presents for my friends this year. Thanks.

I used OSMC about a year ago and was very polished then its good to see it get some recognition

Since buying a pi 400, I now have a spare 3b+, guess this is going to be my new project.

I love the subtle warnings you give right before I make a mistake as I'm following along :D

[riverafalcon]

Seriously just saved me $30-$60 on getting a Roku. I may have to if this doesn't make my wife happy but it's a great start. Thank you!

[CheckAPulse]

I really like how you explain things in your videos. Clear and to the point. Very easy to follow and tons of relevant information. I just bought my first Raspberry Pi, so I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.

Your videos are so well done! I always enjoy learning new things these devices can do.

Im doing this on my spare 32gb sd card since I updated to 64gb for retropie.

[fratermus]

Holy crap; this works tolerably well on a Raspi 1

[gutz]

Did not work unfortunately. Always says "Install failed: can’t mount root" So not sure why. Used a 64gb SD card, so not the size.

Please video about how to install latest android tv on Raspberry Pi 3. Your video about it 3 years ago. Thank you.

I prefer to use a Rii keyboard/mc remote with Kodi as it handheld and RF and has dedicated buttons for media playback

[IRWPD]

Cool idea. The Raspberry Pi can do so much. Will have to give this a try.

[mikolajwojnicki]

Soo cool. I'll definitely do this when I get my first RPi

[justski]

Hi I know this is 4 years old but can you tell me how to get sound I can get it with Bluetooth but not the speaker jack but if i switch it to raspberry Pi os everything works with OSMC I have no sound and no wifi then I use the Kodi & LibreELEC I have no sound and cant find my external hard drive

now if only the amazon prime plugin would work, life would be a bliss.

[wilfriedwachter]

Morning. Any tips on how to install Netflix and Amazon Prime Video now that DRM are supported ?

[WhatAmIGonnaGet]

Thanks for the video, nice work. Is there a video to configure this setup use a mobile device for a remote on the media tv /Kodi ?
