Got a media player kit coming in the mail so I can play stuff I've downloaded on the TV. Anyone else have one of these, and what have you done with yours if so?

I dunno, discus.

I’ve been considering a raspberry pi for a looper I want to make. Like a normal true-bypass looper, but the raspberry saves different effect orders. Like combining one with a patchulator. I know there are units that do this, but I’m a little cheap and those units are not.

Might not be exactly what you were thinking of, but maybe find a 360 Systems AM-16 MIDI-controlled patchbay/router. You would probably want the 16, not the 16B--16B is balanced connections on a huge Elco multi-pin connector, where the 16 does unbalanced through 1/4" jacks at the back of the unit. More 16B units came up used when I was looking, easily under $100. I think the 16s run a bit more, but hard to say. A two space rack unit may not be a natural thing for a lot of ILF-ers to add in, but it can probably do more than you had in mind. And saves development time of figuring out the hardware and software of a DIY solution.

I use one as a little emulator for old consoles. It's really easy to set up, and without too much work you can run basically anything pre-N64 and struggle through some N64 last I checked. I haven't touched it in a while though, so things probably work even better now.

Here's the link to what I used to set it up https://retropie.org.uk/

I built a Python-based media player in the company I work for, they use them for promotional stuff at some businesses in x city, yeah boring stuff...

Been wanting to get a pd setup forever =[

I fucking love these things. I keep an RPI3 as my main media center (Libreelec is my go to because it's a very stable Kodi build, but there's a few others out there that might work better for you) and run an SSH server out of it. It runs 24/7 on my living room TV with a 1TB external drive on it with all my shows/movies and because the pi is fucking dope, my TV remote can control it over CEC on the HDMI.

I keep a Pi Zero in my bedroom that uses the SFTP (SSH) credentials to access the external drive and I can stream my media off the first pi to my bedroom, even when someone's using the living room pi.

And if you use Android, Yahtsee is the best god damn remote I've ever found.

ALSO if you have a USB mixer, you can run raspbian and puredata and use the thing as an effects board. Puredata is complicated as fuck but somehow the pi has essentially no latency on it over USB.

Feel free to hmu in a private message if you have any trouble getting yours set up, I've spent the last year+ figuring these things out for my media center and I'm never going back.

This is what I’m doing, except I’m using Recallbox instead of retropie. The userbase is a little more pretentious, but the software is a little easier to use day-to-day than retropie.

Lakka is nice, too. It's built on emulationstation and looks like a PS4 menu. Recalbox is easy af to use though (ps3/4 controller support otb i think).

Also; drop N00Bs or PINN onto the memory card before you put any OSs onto it because they're both fantastic multi-OS bootloaders that will let you install/reinstall from a recovery menu. It's just way easier than manually installing shit.

+1 for N00Bs, it makes life super easy. Also since you boot from the SD card, you can use Win32DiskImager to keep backups of old working states just in case.

pure dataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
