</span>Use something like OSMC, which it tailored for a r-pi platform.<br>
Also, don't use wifi, go wired. Makes all the difference.<br>
<br>
I use a pi v2 with OSMC (Confluence theme) for entertainment stuff. With HDHR<br>
network tuners, it handles live TV at 1080 resolutions as well. Just needs the<br>
$2 MPEG2 license. I didn't bother with the h.264/AVC license, since playback is<br>
free. It is pretty stable and used many hours daily for music, video, TV.<br>
