OSMC


Last Update: 2024-08-25 10:57 UTC

OSMC (formerly Raspbmc) is a Debian-based minimal Linux distribution that brings the Kodi media centre software to a Raspberry Pi, Apple TV and Vero devices. This device has an excellent form factor and enough power to handle media playback, making it an ideal component in a low-cost HTPC (Home Theatre Personal Computer) setup, yet delivering the same Kodi experience that can be enjoyed on much more costly platforms.

Popularity (hits per day): 12 months: 127 (66), 6 months: 116 (77), 3 months: 114 (83), 4 weeks: 257 (23), 1 week: 268 (22)

Average visitor rating: 8/10 from 2 review(s).

Table Notes and Explanations

(Please refer to the table below.)
  • Select view:
  • To compare the software in this project to the software available in other distributions, please see our Compare Packages page.
  • Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  • Colour scheme: green text = latest stable version, red text = development or beta version. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

 I have two Vero 4K devices running OSMC, which I use to play music, using a Kodi app on a phone as a remote. Works great, has been running for the last four years without problems. It's easy to keep updated and just works. Yes, I agree that systemd is displeasing to the purist in one, but it's a device OS, not one I tinker with. There is a nice interface if connected to a monitor, plays videos, and all that. On the other hand, it can be managed over ssh with apt-get, etc., if minimalism is your thing. Over all, it's a stable, reliable Debian Kodi integration, which deserves to be better known. Kudos to Sam Nazarko for his vision, great work, and friendly support on the few occasions I have needed to ask.

 A great distro for multimedia. It’s easy to use, easy to customize and looks nice. The stability has been hit and miss here though, which I fault at using the systemd malware init. I wish they would base the distro on Devuan instead because of init freedom and not being locked down proprietary style by systemd because of Debian.
