For more info and help, check out the The Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi 2/ 3 and Raspberry Pi Zero are a series of ARM-powered, credit card-sized single-board computers (developer boards) made in the UK by the non-profit Raspberry Pi Foundation organization for educational and hobbyist purposes. These low power computers are mass produced at very low prices and the high number of units sold gives it massive community support. As Kodi HTPC, all Raspberry Pis support full 1080p (Full HD) video playback of the most commonly used codecs, most if not all Kodi, and have reasonably responsive GUI performance.

Raspberry Pi 2/3 probably doesn't need some of these tweaks to run Kodi really well, but it also won't hurt anything, if you really want to push things to their limit. • Avoid 'heavy' skins and lots of 'service' type add-ons that run in the background. • Turn off RSS feeds and any scrolling text options for your skin.

Depending on the skin/text, this can really boost a Pi 1, sometimes even a Pi 2/3. • Use an SD card with good rewrite speeds. The class of the SD card doesn't always mean it will be better, as that speed classification is for sustained reading and writing, whereas for Kodi, random read/write speeds are more important.

•, apart from a few exceptions where the cards are marked as SDXL but maintain SDHC compatibility. • (the ones with NOOBS on them) typically have much better performance than many class 10 cards. • Samsung 'EVO' SD/mSD cards also have very excellent read/write speed for their price. • You can also try a combination of SD and fast USB drive for your Kodi install, but with the recent software improvements even just using a good SD card is about as fast as using a fast USB drive. • Avoid using wifi. If you do use wifi, use a wifi adapter that contains two antennae (internal or external) that advertises '300 Mbps'.

Otherwise, stick to wired ethernet, local USB drives, or ethernet-over-power devices (like Homeplug). • If you are using wifi and it seems just on the edge of being fast enough, check out. • Try using file shares instead of SMB file shares. This allows more tweaking of filesystem options, like chosing UDP and larger block sizes. Most Pi's can handle a significant overclock, as long as they have a good power supply.

There is no universal setting that will work for everyone (except for the default speed that you get without overclocking). Try various overclocking settings and run Kodi for a while to see if it's stable.

If one group of overclocking settings causes crashes, try a group of lower settings. Note: Overclocking is pretty important for the Raspberry Pi 1 (A, B, A+, B+) and Zero, but much less so on the Pi 2/3 due to the multiple CPU cores as well as increased speed per core. You can still overclock the Pi 2 if you really want to, but for most users it makes little difference. • By default, 'Extract thumbnail and video information' (in ) is disabled on the Pi, improving browsing performance.

• For smoother video playback, enable 'Adjust display refresh rate' in • When using dvdplayer, 'Sync playback to display' for sync method are recommended; see. • Make sure the video is using H.264 (up to High Profile — will not work), or MPEG-4, or, if additional codecs have been enabled, MPEG-2 or VC-1. • Passthrough is recommended as it lowers CPU usage for DTS and AC3. Use if your TV/receiver supports it. Prazdniki vo francii prezentaciya.

• To determine which audio passthrough formats your HDMI-connected TV supports, you can log in via SSH and run this command: /opt/vc/bin/tvservice a (on LibreELEC: tvservice -a). • Feeling adventurous?, which often have even more speed improvements. Just remember that these builds can often be unstable!

• For locally connected drives containing videos and music, the filesystem can have an impact on read and write speeds. NTFS for example tends to be much slower on any Linux-based system than the more native ext2, ext3, etc. • If you use, you will want to make sure that your images are pre-cached using the tool. Local libraries typically don't need this as their images are cached when videos are scanned in. Using MySQL can improve performance as the database queries are handled by another machine. • Organizing your movies in single folders for each movie, rather than all movies in one folder, is recommended. The individual folders reduce the time it takes for Kodi to look for supporting media like external subtitles, which makes browsing, scanning and starting playback a little faster.
