So I’ve been following this project off and on for a few years and use to have previously played around with OSMC and other distros on an older Raspberry Pi (I think it was the original Model B). Anyways last night I pulled the trigger and ordered a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ as well as a SuperPi case.
My plan is to turn in into primary a media centre/server, and retro gaming being an bonus. Before my new Pi arrives, just want to make sure I have a plan of action for setting it up.
-
What is the best way of setting up a VPN client on OSMC? I’ve seen both Zomboided, ConnMan, and Brian Hornsby mentioned on here. Which is the best?
-
What is the best way of integrating retro gaming to OSMC? Is it still retrosmc, waiting for Kodi 18.1, or something else I’ve missed from the forum?
-
If setting up an external HDD, is the Raspberry Pi powerful enough to power it? Or should I get a powered Hub?
-
Is Plex worthwhile setting up? Will say an android device or PS4 with the Plex app be able to connect to the Pi’s Plex server (related to #3 above)?
Figured out how to install Plex and Add-on, and added it to home screen. -
Is @seamonkey420’s guide at Getting Safe Shutdown/Reset working in OSMC for the newest NESPi Case+ w/safe shutdown modules the most up-to-date script for getting the power/reset buttons to work on the NESPi case (and other RetroFlag cases)? I saw some mention issues with fans not stopping on shutdown.
Found a different script and modified it to add support for OSMC.
Sorry for the long post with many questions. Any and all help/suggestions is greatly appreciated.
