Remote streaming FROM LibreELEC to clients - do devs consider this?

  • Hi, just subscribed to post this.

    I was searching through the net and have found almost noone mentions running LibreELEC on one machine and streaming input/display/sound from/to clients. Im doing this on Windows with Sunshine and find it very convenient. I imagine running a VM / Container with KODI on a VM server and being able to access it from any low-end device or SmartTV running Apollo/Moonlight. You could take your entire home library with you everywhere by the means of mobile running stream from your home. It requires a dedicated GPU but who knows if one day tech biggies would allow vGPU in home servers.

    Out of curiosity I have installed LibreELEC as a VM, took a LCD to my headless server to enable ssh and found it waste of time as there is no default option to install Sunshine. So im trying to build and add it to this VM.

    But Im not a developer or Linux Pro, just following CGPT advice. It seems it would be quicker if someone post if it's even possible.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Ah ok, thank you for a "cut to the chase" answer. I'm not intending to "pirate" anything.

    Honestly, can't see a difference between taking a raspi running LibreELEC to, say, a demo party with a thumbstick drive full of fresh seasons of pirated series attached. Can be hook'd it to a DLP and let bingewatch TwinkPeaks 5 the whole night with folks. You wouldn't consider ditching this nice project because of this, would you?

    BTW I'm not using KODI because each time I try to load my Library of ripped CD that I own or movies that went, or should have, open, it starts to freak me out with milliards of connections from some IP junkies hooked to a Studio network taking it for granted I have dload it from some dark darknet sources - hashes do not match - so I deserve disgrace and a hackaton.

    I will just turn a basic Debian desktop into mediacenter or stick with Windows desktop, no problem

  • Don't know about 4K, but 720p / 1080p 60fps works fine over 100Mb/s LAN. Since Gigabit Ethernet is how a standard I can't agree with you. In each case you have to run cables and terminate them, the difference is, with LAN you have flexibility to connect literally anything while with splitter you're stuck to A/V
