Heya all,
I recently got ShieldTV as was suggested by this sub (love the device, super fast) but it doesn't like my external drive, keeps disconnecting, and there's a lot of users with this problem for years without any solution for it. A bit strange nobody warned about that, it seems to be a very common problem. I kind of threw away 30 bucks for the hard drive enclosure because of this.
But whatever, after some thought I just figured what the hell, screw it, I would actually prefer networked storage now since so many things are working faster and better on the Shield, it changed up quite a lot of perspectives I've had until now.
Did some google search for recommended NAS for Kodi... Whoa there buddy, 300€+? That's a whole damn lot for just a box sharing my network drive. I know they have all these extra features and can do transcoding but I don't need that or at least I don't want to pay this much for it.
I'd just like to have a very simple Network Attached Storage - it's what NAS should stand for, but why do they come with all these extra features that jack up the price? I just want my HDD to operate on it's own and be available on my network, does it really cost 300€ to make this work?
I looked into Raspberry Pi, but that's still USB connection, I'd rather have SATA if I'm going into this.
Is there a way to put my drives on network without busting a hole in my wallet?
edit: would this be ok?
I've got the original android sony TV from back in the day. Long since lost the remote. Trying to give it to someone since I no longer need it. So, I factory reset it with one of those USB full QWERTY Keyboards that I have hooked up to my other Android boxes.. but now when it first boots, it's asking me to pair the original remote (Original Remote was Bluetooth)
Well I don't have the original remote.
I've mashed just about every button on the "universal remote" but I can't get past the screen.
Anyone have any ideas?
