You guys must have much better eyesight and steadier hands than me. I’ll wait for the version with soldered headers that surely must be coming. The performance of a Pi Zero W with chick’s Python script is fine, so check it out for a fun remote monitor and basic controller. Cheers, Steve

I'm running LMS on an Odroid HC1 using DietPi Linux which was very easy to get working. DietPi is available for X86 so maybe that would be a good option to try just for LMS. I don't know how you would get on hooking up a touchscreen and running Jivelite, but piCorePlayer is perfect for that.
