Can I ask a few Q's please?

Hi,

@dumbtechie

Remote control - it’s RF isn’t it? Will it work ~10-12m away from the main unit?

Yes – this will be fine.

@dumbtechie

Ditto a bluetooth keyboard ?

Should be fine. Bluetooth has a good range.

@dumbtechie

Does the kodi use a drive mapping (cifs/nfs) to find the content?

You can mount CIFS or NFS shares, either via Kodi or via the command line. See File sharing with a NAS, media server, windows share or other device for more info.

@dumbtechie

Is the microSD slot capable i.e. big & fast enough to host the HEVC/h.265 content if all else fails (as it often seems to) ?

Yes – this is possible; likewise for USB 2 ports. If you are attaching hard drives, you should make sure they are externally powered or use a powered USB hub.

@dumbtechie

Does it just pass through the sound to the spdif? (regardless of the codec).

Out of the box, yes. You can also pass through Dolby Digital and DTS (enable under Settings → Audio) if your receiver supports this.

Let us know if you have any further questions
