I think about creating a media center using a Raspi and a SATA hard-drive. It has to be out-of-the-box for the user (I don’t want use a keyboard or a mouse) when I want watch a movie.
This is only some tracks. I haven’t enough time to do it this days.
Material :
- Raspberry-Pi => version ? or a BananaPi ? (on this last, there is a SATA input)
- SupTronics X300 if Raspberry-Pi to have SATA. I don’t want lag, even for Full HD movies.
- A IR remote, to wake up the Pi and control the OS.
Softwares :
- OS : Specific OS (Raspbian) with XBMC software or MediaCenter OS ?
- I want to creat (or use, if it exist) a tool to copy datas from a USB key to the hard drive, with the remote.
- How to shutdown/hibernate a Pi ? And with a remote ?
