This is the Raspberry Pi kit I take when I travel. Its perfect for plugging into hotel tv's and keeping your laptop free (or if you're like me and don't always take your laptop with you). It has a Raspberry Pi 2 loaded with Kodi, 2' HDMI cable, Power cable and adapter, 64gb USB 3.0 all tucked very tightly into an Amazon basics case.

Pi 2 loaded with Kodi

Cheapo wireless keyboard mouse from eBay

Case was just too small to fit the keyboard in but no worries, ill just throw it in the bag.

Ready to watch all your favorites and legally downloaded media in your hotel room while you browse usersub on your laptop in bed. Sorry for potato picture

"Legally" is used a suspicious number of times in this post and comments. - Not an FBI agent

Not illegal to view streamed content. Only to host it and download it.

You're not worried about damaging the board? I low it's cheap but I put mine into a small plastic case just so I don't worry about it.

Can you use a 64gb SD card as external storage with a 8gb USB because that's all I have. Thanks

Yeah you could. OSMC/Kodi take up less than 12gb so you could even just use the SD card without USB. It's just more of a hassle

I put mine in a case and used mounting foam to attach it to 2tb hard drive full of legally acquired content

That's a good idea.

Explicitly states usb 3.0 when rpi only supports usb2.0... which also gets throttled by wifi due to shared controller...

The reason I use 3.0 is it's faster to transfer your legally acquired media from the source (laptop or desktop) to the USB.

Can you plug in external storage to an Apple TV?

The answer is no. Kodi is pretty stellar. Been using it since v9.

Back in my day we called it Xbox media center and you needed a ftp to get your shit transferred.

xbmc is what I still accidentally call it. I just now have a 30TB NAS connected to it and use a Mac mini front end.

Interesting. What's it setup on? I'm using freenas on a custom build but I only got about 16tb. I'm actually thinking of scrapping the whole
