Don’t like ads on your smart TV? This tutorial is going to show you how to replace your TV OS with LibreELEC (Embedded Linux Entertainment Center) and a Raspberry Pi. LibreELEC is a free open-source Linux distribution for embedded devices used as home media centers. It is a fork of the now-discontinued OpenELEC project, which itself is based on Kodi. After installing LibreELEC on a Rasberry Pi, you can download Movies, TV shows on Usenet, or torrent.
LibreELEC Features
- Super lightweight, as it includes only the necessary software to run a Kodi media center (Just enough OS for Kodi).
- Fast booting.
- Support all versions of Rasberry Pi (Versions 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4, including B and B+ variants ).
- Optimized to be used with flash-based drives, like compact flash, USB drives, or SSD.
- Includes all features that Kodi has to offer.
What you need
- A Rasberry Pi starter kit, which includes SD card for installing LibreELEC, SD card reader, HDMI cable, system fan, power supply and Rasberry Pi case.
- Ethernet cable (optional if your Raspberry Pi has a built-in wireless card), so your Pi can connect to a router.
- A TV with HDMI port
- USB remote control. (You can use the Sybu Kodi app on your phone to control Kodi, but a remote control with USB receiver is more convenient.)
