Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Is there some Video Player Software similar to PiCorePlayer ?
I run a Plex server for video (files stored on same NAS as my music) and access it on my TV using Plex app on Amazon Fire TV.

My current video player is a 2019 Nvidia Shield, but prior to that I used LibreELEC on a pi 1 model B Rev2. This was an amazing, highly optimized player for its time. It supported raw blu-ray rips and was able to decode TrueHD and DTS-HD audio to PCM. The only thing it was missing in that generation of media was Dolby Atmos. If you don't have 4K media files it would probably work just fine. I don't know if the current generation of Pis is better at 4K playback. jth's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=117295 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

+1 for Kodi. Try using Kodi on top of this OS - LibreElec - as it's deliberately lightweight for a Pi3 or better Pi4: https://libreelec.tv/ Not sure about its HD audio capabilities though, but it will get you going to try it out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Is there some Video Player Software similar to PiCorePlayer ?
if you want the solution to cope with passing through DTS HD or Dolby True HD or Atmos Audio it gets much more awkward as not many apps pass through the signal in my experience. Kodi or Plex on a dedicated NUC (or similar) are the only ways I've found to get full HD audio passthrough. Of the buy a box and it works pretty much only the NVIDIA Shield will do HD Audio Passthrough PiCorePlayer 8.2 on Allo Digi One Signature (Lounge) PiCorePlayer 8.2 with Hifiberry Digi+ Material running on PI for control (Office) PiCorePlayer 8.2 with pi official touchscreen and Hifiberry DAC+(Kitchen) Radio (Bedroom) PiCorePlayer 8.2 with Allo BOSS DAC (Bedroom) PiCorePlayer 8.2 with Hifiberry AMP+.

Kodi would do it, but my experience is that even the Pi4 is underpowered for 180p full bit rate blu ray rips, and the interface is not as slick as it could be Kodi on a Firestick / Roku / google TV box would be slicker PiCorePlayer 8.2 on Allo Digi One Signature (Lounge) PiCorePlayer 8.2 with Hifiberry Digi+ Material running on PI for control (Office) PiCorePlayer 8.2 with pi official touchscreen and Hifiberry DAC+(Kitchen) Radio (Bedroom) PiCorePlayer 8.2 with Allo BOSS DAC (Bedroom) PiCorePlayer 8.2 with Hifiberry AMP+.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Is there some Video Player Software similar to PiCorePlayer ?
If your NAS has an available media server plugin, an inexpensive Roku player will render video via DLNA/UPnP to any TV having an available HDMI input using its "Roku Media Player" app. If you have a smart TV, you might find it has a DLNA/UPnP player available in its app store. I'm not aware of any Raspberry Pi video server solution as "turnkey" as piCorePlayer is for audio. You might check out OSMC for Raspberry Pi: https://osmc.tv/ OSMC is based on Kodi which is a well-established media server that also supports DLNA/UPnP. If your smart TV has a DLNA/UPnP media player app, you should be good. Or, use a Roku as above. If you like Plex as a media server, installing it to a RPi is not that difficult: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/raspberry-pi-plex-media-server/ Many smart TVs have a Plex player available in their app store. Roku has one also. I'd recommend you use a RPi 4 for this as serving video generally takes more horsepower than does audio.
