New setup question

1st Official Post

    Hello all,

    I am about to buy a new tv for the bedroom, and looking at options to run Kodi on it as well. The two options I am thinking of at the moment are:

    1) Amazon Firestick 4K - however, I am not sure that relying on wifi to read the files stored on the NAS will be the best option.

    2) Raspberry Pi 4b - would be ideal from what I read on the Kodi forum and will be connected through Gigabit, however, with LibreELEC installed would I be able to control the Pi with the tv remote? (I currently can with LibreELEC installed on a Wetek Hub). And the most important for me, would I be able to start the Pi from the TV remote?

    If the TV supports CEC, you can use the TV remote to control your LibreELEC RPi4.

    Most people, if not all, simply keep the RPi powered on 24/7. Once powered down, the RPi won't restart via a remote, unless your TV has some fancy CEC support (I wouldn't count on it).
