Your Raspberry Pi Projects

Got a RPi Zero, still not decided what I am going to use it for, but still looking for a case for it.

Where did you get it from?

I got this working on a Pi2. Used it on a holiday with a portable USB powersupply and a wifi dongle.

I am going to spin a low cost internet radio streamer with I2S DAC as first project.

Is there software which allows one to cast to your pi from Youtube/Netfilx etc? Preferebly something "small" as I would prefer not to reinstall everything as I have quite a bit of stuff running on my Pi already?

 

[dualmeister]

Would like to add USB hub.

I cast from Youtube on my android devices to Kodi (xbmc). Works quite well.

Thanks for the recommendation. Do you know if other apps such as netflix also work?

Netflix is a no. There is a wiki entry on the kodi page explaining why. TLDR: DRM.

Thanks for the feedback. It's a pity though, was hoping I could get away without buying a player.

I think you can use a browser though.

I saw a solution where you use PlayOn Tv to access Netflix. Looked like a mission though.

Isn't there Android for the Pi?

Surely you could use that and the netflix app to watch?

There are plenty of small android players on the market in that case.

 

[Necropolis]

But if you already have a Pi it's worth giving it a bash

This is where I love my Odroid-C1. Unlike PI is fully supports Android

EDIT: Forgot to add details

I got a PLEX server working on a Pi2. Used it headless on a holiday with a portable USB power supply and a wifi dongle.

Ingredients:
1 x RPi 2
1 x Wi-Pi (yes, that's not a typo!)
1 x adafruit case
1 x ROMOSS 10000 mAh power bank
1 x 128 Verbatim SSD
1 x Debian jessie with plex server and network goodies installed.

When I switch it on, the Pi creates a wi-fi access point that I connect to from my tablet/phone/pc/laptop etc. I then browse to the Pi's fixed IP on that wifi with 192.168.0.100:32400/web.

Voila, streaming in the car, on the beach, at the resort etc without any fuss. I took 50 movies and about 7 seasons of different series.

If you want to copy this let me know.

Very cool setup. How long can it run from the power bank?

Share share! !

I never ran it for longer than 5 hours at a time, and then the power bank still showed 3 of 4 lights.

That's very impressive
