I don't want this to be a server to every computer in my house. KODI will work with standard networks like windows, but DNLA devices will require a UPnP DNLA server, which finding something on android shouldn't be too hard. But You would be able to stream files to any of your other devices just fine, so a client running KODI or even most DNLA devices should work just fine. I wouldn't expect it to do any transcoding on its own, so don't think you are going to run a Plex server from it. Otherwise it would be fine for streaming files via the ethernet port. Yes you can use it as a Server, though USB 2.0 ports are going to be the biggest draw backs. I have no idea how to quote elements i want to refer to, so i would just copy and paste :/ġ. As it will eat a chunk of wireless bandwidth, which is not recommended. Else you can get a wireless USB adapter, but best not to put it on wireless if you are going to stream to other devices via wireless. Though you could setup a wireless bridge using your laptop or desktop to the raspberry, though i'm pretty sure that already had wifi built in. What is your budget? As there might be better options. There is also Ubuntu or other link distros to you can try out as the server OS.Īlso you really don't want to put the Raspberry Pi wireless, especially via the bridge.
