I’d say to check directly at iFixit store for this kind of spare parts in general. Not cheap, but it’s most of the time genuine parts, and if not, pretty good quality ones.
I remember a bunch of posts on reddit when the first images released and tons of people were bashing it for having the same exact graphics as 3/new Vegas. I never felt more confused. It doesn’t have the greatest graphics of its time, but I still think they hold up pretty well.
I use a hacked fire stick but pretty sure the exact same setup is achievable on android TV.
You can use stremio + torrentio and utilise your current realdebrid subscription then just install your preferred vpn as well.
Fire up the VPN and connect so that all your traffic is going through that VPN connection and then load up stremio.
I used to use kodi and debrid and this stremio setup is night and day better and easier to use, my gf would refuse to use kodi but this operates so much like Netflix etc that she uses it all the time now as well.
Thanks for your comment. Yeah I hear the UX on stremio is so much better that’s why I was leaning more towards doing that. I spent hours to make Kodi UX smoother but at the end of the day it’s a slug for the average user.
Do you know how I should route the TV traffic (Stremio) through the VPN on my old laptop tho? Or should I just give up on that part
It absolutely is, I even set up stremio on a fire stick for my sister and she is absolutely technologically illiterate and would never have understood kodi but with stremio she is doing just fine!
I’m not really sure what you are asking in the second part though. If I’m running stremio on my laptop then I have my airvpn connection running in the background so everything is going via that connection.
On the fire stick I use the proton VPN app and open that up, connect there then all the traffic on the fire stick is forced to go through there.
Using either method the stremio traffic has to go via the respective VPN. Maybe I’m missing something with the question though so if I’m being stupid please say and I’ll try and help further :)
Thanks for elaborating! Not at all, my bad for not explaining! So what is happening is that I’m using Mullvad, and there is a limit on number of connections I can have. I’m already using them all so I can’t just connect my TV to it as well. However my homeserver (a.k.a. my old laptop) is using one of the connections so I thought maybe it would be a good idea to make the TV traffic go through that too.
I gotta mention I’m new to all this so if I’m talking outta my butt feel free to laugh at my comment and correct me :D
Ah OK, im with you now. If there is a way to do that then I don’t know how I am afraid. I would personally just change up the connections so you could use the TV as one of them purely for the ease of it as I like to make my life as easy as possible xD
Sorry I can’t help any further with that but good luck with your endeavours, if you choose to go stremio I think you’ll be impressed compared to kodi :D
Any Linux distro should work for the setup you want. I have radarr, sonarr, sabnzbd, deluge and jellyfin running on an Arch setup, but something more accessible like Ubuntu or Debian should work fine (although I’m not familiar with whether the Pi4 can power those heavier distros). If you’re comfortable with the command line, it doesn’t matter much which distro you pick since you can install and configure all those apps over ssh.
Plenty of mainstream distros have versions designed with an RPi in mind. They should be designed lightweight for that purpose, but also the default version for rpi is called raspbian, and it tends to have the most support for rpi applications. If you’re not committed to a particular distro for any reason that’s a good place to start. All the software should work regardless.
If you want the whole setup to be headless (no screen), you’ll have to do a lot of work in the command line. If you want a screen to play things on, well then just the regular OS version should be fine.
Anything serving a desktop will be more resource intensive. I’m pretty sure the VNC option should have minimal impact whenever you’re not connected to it.
Also though, no matter what you do, it’s linux so you should accept that you’ll need to spend some time in the command line to get things done. It’s getting better with making things accessible via GUIs but I think it may always have a heavier reliance on the CLI because of the hacker nature of it.
It will be living in the home office pretty close to a monitor, so I’m happy enough to plug it in and use a screen to set everything up. But hopefully once it’s up and running, I’ll rarely need to use a screen and can check on the apps via a browser on my laptop/tablet/phone.
In any case, I’ll check out the VNC option linked above, thanks.
I guess it probably makes sense to start with Raspbian then and see how that goes first.
I’ve also heard about OSMC, which is media player centric distro. Although given I am not actually using this thing as a front end (at least for now), that might be a waste.
I feel like a bit of a hypocrite, because I’ll complain about almost every aspect of this game until I’m blue in the face, but I still put like 200+ hours into it. Same for Skyrim actually.
I liked Skyrim and will defend it but Fallout 4 had some inexcusable problems. I still played it and had a lot of fun once the mods rolled in but the base game is a mess in terms of story, dialogue, role-playing, balance, graphics, animations, etc…
The settlement building was pure silly sandbox, there was no reason to engage with it, no benefit it provided, in fact it only introduced extra nuisance if you engaged (in the form of annoying settlement raid alerts). The dialogue options may have as well been nonexistent and all the skill check mechanics were stripped out in favor of the most bog basic charisma checks. The leveling and SPECIAL mechanics ended up meaning every character was exactly the same, there was no build variety past 10 or 12 hours. If you wanted to argue there was it by was only stealth or no stealth, melee or ranged, but the balance between them was fubar.
The game was extraordinarily disappointing as someone who was a huge fan of Fallout since the original, liked 3, and loved New Vegas. FO4 was a step back in every way EXCEPT first-person shooter mechanics which wasn’t even an true aspect of the franchise.
The one thing FO4 has going for it were mods. Like Skyrim before it, FO4 was completely reworked in multiple ways by different mods and that’s what basically saved the game for me.
I recommend a Plex server. People here will yell jellyfin all day long but while it is good, there is shit that will make you tear your hair out. Plex will literally “just work”.
If your TV is a smart TV, you can install the Plex app and from that point on its mostly set and forget.
