I’ve been looking over the forums and wiki and I can’t seem to find answers to some of my basic questions about the capabilities of OSMC. Until just recently I’ve been planning on using Raspberry Pi 2 with OpenElec (Milhouse build) for a new media streamer. Then I learned the R Pi 3 has been released. Next, I learned about OSMC and it seemed like it had more features. I also learned OpenElec doesn’t have a way to do parental controls (my kids aren’t quite ready for Braveheart).
So I figured I’d just ask in a new topic since I’m guessing there’s more than one person like myself out there wondering if OSMC is going to do all the things I’m hoping it does.
Wants:
- 3D MVC
- 7.1 DTS-HD MA, Dolby TrueHD, Atmos (I know OpenElec has to use 8-channel PCM to do this)
- Parental Controls (I’m told Kodi uses profiles to get this done)
Lastly, are any of the above hardware dependent? I know with OpenElec, you need an R Pi to get 3D MVC so I wanted to ask about any caveats that might be in play. Then I saw the Vero advertised and wondered if it would offer me a better product? It has SPDIF output, but I’ve never used 35mm before. Can you convert it to a standard RCA plug or TOSLink? I saw one converter for the latter, but it said something about not supporting anything beyond 5.1 sound.
I appreciate the info.
