I have an external disk drive, where I store my movies and TV shows collection plus downloads, and I wanted to use this disk as the main storage for Raspberry device.įor that it needs to auto-mount every time the device reboots and also it needs to mount to the same path. And as the purpose of the device is just to share files from the connected external disk over the network, there was no point in having a desktop environment, so I took Raspbian Buster Lite. Since I’ve had it with all the limitations of LibreELEC, I formatted the card and put there Raspbian instead. I reused the same Raspberry Pi device ( the one that was my media player before) as the server. Meanwhile, let’s try to make Apple TV to be more useful with what we have nowadays. So, what is the point in getting Apple TV at all? There is actually a couple of reasons.įirst of all, it is actually quite a powerful device in terms of hardware, plus it has a very nice GUI and an unusual remote control ( a bit retarded, but also nice).ĪirPlay is also a quite nice thing to have, because the majority of devices and computers in the house are from Apple.īut mostly I got Apple TV kinda “for the future”: till the times I’ll have a 4K HDR Dolby Atmos telly, and also hoping that there will be finally a single streaming service containing all the movies and TV shows from all the networks - something I would gladly pay for. Well, Raspberry’s case is even worse in that regard, but hear this - Apple TV does not support connecting external disk drives! And that means that the only option would be to set-up a network share, and play your videos from there. Basically, you won’t be able to store your movies and TV shows collection on it. The conclusion here is that you need a proper video player - the one that could simply play your video files from wherever they are.īut that’s not all: Apple TV has a very limited internal storage. It is fair to say that without subscriptions Apple TV is merely just an AirPlay host.Ĭertainly, you can buy or rent TV shows or movies in iTunes Store, but that will cost you a fortune, so it’s not really an option.

If you are not subscribed to the whole bazillion of TV services ( Netflix, HBO, Hulu and many many more), then you will always be missing something ( quite a lot of something), as TV shows are heavily scattered across TV providers and none has them all.

In reality, Apple TV as a media box is pretty much useless on its own. Given its price, one would think that Apple TV should be able to do a lot of things and to have great media capabilities.

I’ll talk about how to install Kodi on Apple TV and how to create a network media storage for it.

It was pretty good, and I was going to write a post about it, but never had time for that, and now I got an Apple TV, so instead I’ll write a post about using Kodi on Apple TV. For a long time I was using Kodi with LibreELEC running on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B device.
