Optimum Media Player

My Sony Bravia Sony KDL-Flachbild_TV 40we5 has only a very marginal way, play the movies lying on my QNAP server. On top of that Sony typically several movie codecs are not played before being converted not to mpg. Only at one point it will work with the Sony very well because that is the Sony remote control from Raspberry via HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is detected and thus the following setting of the operating system in my new Raspberry P1 2 Model B - apart from a Micro SD card - was very simple with no additional hardware. The operating system I use the OpenELEC-RPi2.arm-5.0.4.img.gz. The facility went smoothly and now scrape (forum-raspberrypi.de/Thread-tutorial-filme-und-serien-scrapen-eine-kurze-einfuehrung) all my movies 4 QNAP- disks are called with the. In a database.

Before a new HDMI cable is purchased for the HDMI CEC compatibility, you should better times - if it exists - try an old HDMI cable. For me it worked without any problems anyway.

The films are played all completely smoothly and the CPU's burden of Raspberry here with about 10% utilization barely. The CPU temperature is about 50 degrees (room temperature 20 degrees), so quite low. Because I had but bought in advance heatsink, I will also install and see if they cause any appreciable drop in temperature. (UPDATE) With the two possible heat sinks the temperature dropped during the movie playback at about 43-45 degrees, though this probably should have no effect on the life values ​​call the chips.

QNAP and Raspberry are connected via a 100 Mbit / s LAN cable, which is perfectly adequate for my video. Since the Raspberry leaves off by software namely, for switching must always briefly disconnected from the mains but, I'll get me a switch connector to the power supply does not always have to unplug. Although the Raspberry low power consumption, but does not always have still depend on network for me.

Addendum: As a well-functioning mouse to complete the remote control, I now use the Logitech M185.
