There's a great wiki and forum, and questions get answered. Overall two thumbs up! If you have an older systems with nvidia, look for the x86 legacy build. Overall I'm very pleased with LE. I've used different versions as well as tried some of the nightly builds. I have seen some wireless networking card issues on older version. But those issues are due to mostly the underlying Linux kernel, not LE. Was this review helpful?

Various plugins are helpful to meet many needs. Really stable and updates are available regularly. Videos up to 1080p are playing smoothly. You can share your media files through samba server. I am using Netflix, Prime video, Hotstar, Spotify etc. with the help of Kodi plugins. Audio quality is excellent when using HDMI Pass through. You can use this OS to convert small devices with little power consumption, to Multimedia players. Was this review helpful?

I'm using LibreElec as a Kodi Player, because I don't like the flashy Media Server integrated into Kodi. The rest of the features I need in my Home Theatre (Dell Optiplex 7050 Micro) - are running through Docker provided by LibreELEC out of the box. My Docker has the following Containers (Dockerhub is your friend): 1) Portainer - to manage the apps 2) MiniDLNA - to scrape and broadcast my media library files I keep in folders 3) Transmission Server - to trigger downloading torrent files on the Server, from browser on my PC 4) Krusader - to manage files on attached USB disks directly on LibreELEC host (not via SMB) The CONTROLLER function in my system is done by BubbleUPnP app on my Android phone, with which I can browse my MiniDLNA media library, select the file(s) I want to play and select the Player (Renderer) where to send these files to play back. Unless I want to play back music or movies on my 65" TV and a 7.1 HT sound system, I can also fire up VLC on my computer and because MiniDLNA is a DLNA compatible server, I can play the files from my LibreELEC attached storage on my PC, or another Android tablet. The notable feature of LibreELEC is that it automatically mounts USB disks at the boot up time only. The feature doesn't work if you plug in a USB disk "on the fly" - available storage space will be limited to 7 Gib only. No need to wax lirical about how awesome LibreELEC is - because it IS !! Just try and bend it the way you want it to work for you :) Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 9 reader reviews of LibreELEC...
