Hey guys, what type of remote that works for raspberri?
Rite now I have the HP MCE remote, will this work as simple as plug and play, or do I need to configure it to get it working?

Also, what skin works best for xbmc, other than confluence?

Just wanna ask, what's the best transfer speed you can get on raspberry nas? Particularly on rpi2

I've read some reviews that with RPI connected to gigabit Lan via USB to gigabit Lan adapter, you can get around 16Mbps

Alrite, just received the rpi2 today
I'd like to know how much space do I need to allocate for ext4 partition on the sdcard that's recommended?
Should it be 50% from the overall space? I'm using 32gb sdcard btw.

Thanks for your input
Assuming I simply want to transfer a file to a hdd attached to rpi via samba/nfs share, would the sdcard still be a bottleneck?
Also, is that your blog?
I see the banana pi seems to have tremendous speed when transferring files over gigabit lan

Banana pi is definitely quite interesting, from what I read so far, it's not that great for media player but suits well for other purposes
I'm just quite unsure about the development for banana pi and I don't see too many people using it here
But with the sata port, I wonder if it supports sata ports multiplier to attach more hdds.

Btw, just tried openelec on RPi2, and the performance is really great so far, no buffering when watching movies or crashes.
Everything is smooth when running on heavy skin like Aeon NOX, I actually bought IR receiver with remote for the rpi but the hdmi cec feature seems sufficient since I'm able to use the tv remote to control Kodi UI. I notice there's only shutdown option once the timer is up, no sleep option.
Is it better to just leave the RPI2 online all the time?

Thanks for speed test, I guess you just won't get much speed even on GB lan with RPI,
I wonder if they'll include gigabit lan for the next rPI

I guess the reason I never bothered to use commercial nas it because they always require the HDD to be formatted in ext4 partition when most of my hdds are in NTFS and already filled with bunch of stuff that I'm just too lazy to backup elsewhere

Btw, for file extraction particularly with rar files, how long will it take to extract huge files with rpi2? Say around 1gb files

Got no overheating problem with RPI? Or do you place it near a fan or something
I saw some casing that provides heatsink as well

Will have to check how to place those heatsinks, are you using those private trackers for torrent?
I don't use torrent much anymore, mostly just direct downloads using alldebrid account
Tried using pyload for openelec, but not getting max speed and unstable download speed.

Might as well get rPI2 from element14 (rm127) with free shipping
Where do you plan to purchase Odroid C1?
Looks like another interesting mini pc with gigabit port
I see lots of Odroid models on hardkernel

That was probably introductory price for early birds
Now back to normal price

If you check previous post, they actually provide free postage for any order on their website which is nice.
For me, I ordered the case for rpi2 later with no shipping charges.

They usually replenish their stocks really fast, bought mine a during CNY, and a day before that already listed out to stock
Also, not really rPI related, but has anyone bought an Odroid C1?
Has anyone had experience with korean post? It's the default courier for orders below $60 on hard-kernel.com
Just wanna ask how long it would usually take for delivery to malaysia since by their estimates could take more than a month.

Thanks for the ETA
Hope I don't run into any problems with customs

Ok, I definitely didn't check that
Just read on odroid that some guy's c1 reach around 88 C
How's the idle temp compared to banana pi?

Decided to go with banana pi instead, since I want to use it as nas for its gigabit port
The more read about C1's idle temp going from 50 - 70 C, the more I worry I about the lifespan since I plan to have it online 24/7

Just grab one from element14, you'll get free shipping too.

Indeed, before this I considered to get android box as Kodi machine but not anymore with rpi2
Do you use hdmi cec or ir remote to control Kodi?

I already have a logitech harmony remote, just need to import the settings once the ir receiver/remote I ordered arrived
My only problem with HDMI CEC (VierraLink for my Panasonic) is that it doesn't always work right away
Sometime I need to turn off the off/or even change different input before getting it to work,
Obviously this depends on your TV brand if they're really compatible or not
Yatse/Kodi official remote is nice but I prefer something with tactile feedback

That's a nice looking NAS case

It's Gdex
