    Is this too underpowered to run kodi?

    • nereus on 01/03/2017 - 18:41

      Yes, this is more for embedded applications. Like making an internet radio player or a clock etc.

    • superroach on 01/03/2017 - 18:56

      The Rpi original ran Kodi fine when slightly overclocked. This is a model that's clocked a bit higher than even that - so it should be fine.
      A Model 3 being quadcore handles it much nicer though!

      • ausbob71 on 01/03/2017 - 21:22

        Yes kodi with addons is what I have been using on rpi 3 runs well.

    • megadeth on 01/03/2017 - 19:58

      For modern versions of Kodi, I'd recommend Model B (either RPi2 or RPi3)…

    • Crownanchor on 02/03/2017 - 08:40

      Kodi works on the Pi zero, best to use a light skin on the zero. If you compare the zero to he pi2 or pi3 the difference is that the zero is laggy, but it still plays video and works fine.

      There also seems to be some software optimisations since the original pi that results in noticable better performance than the original linux.

    • temperature on 03/03/2017 - 19:53

      I have just retired my Pi model B from video tasks, which was overclocked to 800MHz and ran Kodi quite well for ABC iview and SBS catchup. There was some lag in navigating the menus but nothing wrong with video playback. I still intend to use it for ebay auction sniping (esniper for linux). OpenElec distribution may be more suitable if you just want to run Kodi.

  • Avatar on 01/03/2017 - 20:14

    Pi zero for $30 when the pi 3 can be had for $60? Why?

    • retiredfeline on 01/03/2017 - 22:03
      +8

      Because you cannot divide by 0 without getting an exception. :)

    • ryang on 01/03/2017 - 22:23
      +3

      Better way to look at it: If a Zero can do everything you need it for, why spend twice as much?

      Personally I use them for Kodi, so it's not a good choice. But I can see the merit. Compare it to an Arduino though…. 😊

        Just get the rpi3 for $60 and have snes, n64, sega, gb, gba, etc as well then, with more than a thousand times as many games as the nes mini!

        Oh yeah and dual-boot kodi too so you can stream any media you want.

          But emulators don't run games properly so it's nothing at all like owning the console.

          @boomramada:
          Tried retropie on an original 256MB PiB. Bit slow in some areas, but playable. Twice the RAM and faster clocked, so I'd imagine the Pi0 would emulate all NES games just fine, probably handle SNES to, same goes for equivalent generation Sega stuff as well as older arcade, etc.

          @Diji1:
          Depends on the emulator, some are closer than others, "nothing like" is a bit hyperbolic though. Official NES mini is running emulation anyway.

        Source?

        There's plenty of people saying pi zero is sufficient for most SNES & Mega Drive games, and easily doing NES & Master System.

          I didn't say you cant play it, I said it is slow.
          And it does struggling on some games.
          Don't waste you money on this, if you want the full retropie experience. Get a Rp3.

      Probably want to add a couple of 8bitdo bluetooth controllers though. Also probably worth going for the Pi3 for the extra power even though the pi0 will probably do NES fine, the Pi3 should still be more responsive overall plus do newer systems that the pi0 will likely struggle with.

    Hi, I saw a lot of people talking about Kodi. But after I bought a fire stick with Kodi and I saw the latest 50 Fifty Shades of Grey on it. I was so worried and then did some research online. people say that it is possible to breach the
    law if some inappropriate addons are installed and used.Can some1 clarify please. Thanks in advance.

        • Bobby123 on 02/03/2017 - 17:28

          You need to hand yourself in at the police station ASAP. Take the details of your ISP (your account number etc), and explain what happened.

    • AlbyDuck on 02/03/2017 - 13:16

      Whether or not it's illegal (which I doubt) the question is who's going to come after you for the five bucks that you didn't pay to watch the movie? Bittorrent is different because you can't download without uploading at the same time. This gives them a chance to claim damages (because you've been actively involved in distributing that content) and it gives them the means to find you (unless you use a vpn). Btw, you can always uninstall those add-ons or not install them in the first place. They don't get on your system by accident. This might be worth a read:

      Maybe a clarification, Pirmoni, The Pi Hut, Adafruit, Canakit all have a purchase limit of 1 device, I'd like to buy 2, one for myself, and one for my brother.

      At the moment the only way to achieve this that I can see is to buy one from two different suppliers.

      Trying to get myself two in the best Ozbargainish way by not having to pay shipping twice :P

  • Marty131 on 02/03/2017 - 12:58

    Question 1: Is there any point in getting the essentials pack or a case from The Pi Hut? Or get the board only, and then buy the rest on eBay?
    Question 2: Can a non-wifi Pi Zero case fit a wifi Pi Zero?

    • oz-stef on 02/03/2017 - 13:09

      1. The parts in the essential kit are about the same cost here, if it doesn't bump the shipping cost too much and you need those bits and pieces I'd say go for it.

      2. Yes

      • Marty131 on 02/03/2017 - 13:15

      For the record, purchased the following on eBay (AUD inc. delivery):

      • Acrylic case (not the official case) - $2.62
      • HDMI adapter - $2.35
      • USB adapter - $1.85

      Still need to source the IO headers, but reckon it'll work out cheaper.

    No Ethernet port ?

    • [Deactivated] on 02/03/2017 - 14:26

      The original Zero was targeted for US$5. This has added Wifi and Bluetooth. I think their decisions there are fine. Not even the Model A has an ethernet port. The board size would need to double for the USB hub, socket and ethernet chips. You can add one over USB if you need it.

      • rhangman on 02/03/2017 - 16:31

        Can also use the GPIO pins with something like a ENC28J60.

    • Crownanchor on 02/03/2017 - 19:46
