One has only to read the trade rags over time to know how leaky home modem-routers are and how many back-doors were (are) in them. I worry about 3rd party software, and holes in firewalls, that permits access into your home network where you do your banking and keep your personal details eg perhaps medical stuff. I've found these tutorials on how to set up Kodi and get the Kodi app installed on my iPad Mini 4 as well as stream it to my PCs using VLC:Īre there any configurations/setup procedures I should follow regarding RAID to treat the HDDs as single drive and have it play nicely with Kodi? Or is RAID unnecessary here?Īnd lastly, which cooler case do you recommend for this application?


The HDD enclosure has 2 separate ~940 GiB HDDs for a total capacity of about 1.88 TiB. over my local network to my Windows 10 laptop, desktop and Ipad Mini 4 tablet. My plan as it is now is to get an RPI4B and run Kodi on it as a home media server to stream video, audio etc. I recently got an ICY BOX IB-3640SU3E2 /SU3 external HDD enclosure, (. Just install the BubbleUPnP app on any Android device, configure the IP address/post of the UPnP server (and renderer) running on the raspi.I need some advice on the setup for a home media server using the RPI4B. Once the BubbleUPnP server is installed, a login/password should be configured using the admin panel accessible via address of the raspi]:58050 Android client part

The installation was performed by following these instructions, as is. In practice, we will use the minidlna server (now called ReadyMedia) to provide media content, and the BubbleUPnP server on top of that for adding advanced functions (access from the internet, OpenHome renderer for unified playlist…) The underlying technology is the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) interoperability standard, using the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol for communication between difference devices in (typically) a home automation setup. This page tracks some notes regarding the installation of a music streaming server on raspberry pi running linux, with remote control capability from an Android device.
