#Kodi external player android allcast windows 10
The new raspberry pi 2 will be able to run windows 10 and so NAS would be pretty easy using that combo I suspect.Īnyway, someone else here or at r/raspberry_pi is likely to know a lot more about it that I do. I suspect if you want to store files like documents and things on it you'll need a raspberry pi on the windows homegroup (that's pretty simple to set up but I don't know how it compares to other methods, again, not an expert), assuming you run windows. I have a back up of all the files on my raspberry pi on an HDD for my PC, so there is no need for me to access the files on the pi unless I'm streaming to a device on the local network. I can access the files stored on the media server using a paid android app (Yatse, well worth it), that's for streaming the videos and music to my phone and is used as a remote. the data is just there for when I want to watch it.
It is easier to remove the HDD and plug it into my PC, transfer files, and move it back because I don't often transfer new files to it (perhaps once every few weeks). I can transfer files to it over the network but I haven't found it to be particularly easy or fast.
I use mine to access the the movies/TV shows/music I have on it through the TV in my living room.
I would suspect that there is more appropriate software for make a Pi NAS rather than Kodi. Firstly, I'm no expect on the best methods for NAS, a media server like I made isn't really the same thing.
